Evolution of gene expression following the whole genome duplication in salmonid fish
(PhD Thesis;2019:53, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a rare mutational event that provides additional duplicates of all genes in the entire genome, resulting in functional redundancy. This redundancy leads to relaxation of selective constraints ... -
Ex vivo digestion of bovine milk with genetic variants A1 and A2 of beta-casein and identification of bioactive peptides
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Milk-derived bioactive peptides (BAPs) have shown to possess physiological effects linked to the development of non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. These peptides lie within the ... -
Ex vivo fordøyelse av melk, nativ myse, WPC80 og en ukjent proteiningrediens : effekt av varmebehandling på viskositet, proteindegradering og frigjøring av FAA
(Master thesis, 2016-11-16)Melk og produkter av melk har i en årrekke vært kjent som et viktig næringsmiddel, som følge av deres sammensetning av essensielle aminosyrer og bioaktive peptider. De siste årene har fokuset på myse forandret seg. For å ... -
An examination of stress resistance and lifespan extension in the honey bee, Apis mellifera
(PhD Thesis;2013:48, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Many societies and health systems will soon face the unprecedented challenge of burgeoning aged populations. This demographic change will place pressure on social and medical systems, and give rise to questions concerning ... -
Examining the anti-inflammatory effects of β-hydroxybutyrate injections on LPS treated mice
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Background: Elevated levels of ketones, especially β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB), have been proposed to impact several essential mechanisms in the immune system. This is mainly suggested through the anti-inflammatory ... -
Examining the Applicability of Functional Principal Component Analysis by Conditional Expectation (PACE) in Cervical Dilation Data from the Labour Progression Study
(Master thesis, 2023)Functional Data Analysis (FDA) is a method for extracting information from curves or functions based on time-related processes with discrete measures. This thesis explores the methodology for constructing and analysing ... -
Expanding the analytical toolbox for characterization of proteolytic reactions : advances in FTIR spectroscopy and classical methods
(PhD Thesis;2019:85, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Enzymatic protein hydrolysis is a well-established industrial process recognized for its potential to improve sustainability in food production by valorization of protein-rich byproducts from the food industry. Monitoring ... -
Exploration of an alginate lyase targeting the biofilm in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Master thesis, 2022)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic gram-negative bacterium capable of colonizing immunosuppressed patients such as those with cystic fibrosis. A P. aeruginosa infection could lead to mortality since some strains ... -
Exploration of explicit and implicit methods for better understanding of preadolescents’ attitudes and preferences towards sweet food
(Master thesis, 2020)The prevalence of obesity has almost tripled since 1975 and is no longer a problem to be addressed for high income countries only. Children are representing one of the most rapid growing obesity groups, a matter closely ... -
Exploration of multi-response multivariate methods
(PhD Thesis;2019:76, Doctoral thesis, 2019)A linear regression model defines a linear relationship between two or more random variables. The random variables that depend on other random variables are often called response variables and the independent random variables ... -
Exploration of the plastic-binding potential of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
(Master thesis, 2023)Lytiske polysakkaridmonooksygenaser (LPMO-er) er enkelt-kopper enzymer som besitter en unik egenskap til å oksidere krystallinske overflater av motstandsdyktige polysakkarider som er utilgjengelige for konvensjonelle ... -
Exploring acetylated galactoglucomannan as a source of prebiotics
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)The wood and paper industry in Norway and worldwide suffers from low demand and low prices. Developing consolidated biorefinery solutions to generate higher value products from woody biomass could be a viable alternative ... -
Exploring host-microbiome interactions in Norwegian Salmon via weighted network analysis
(Master thesis, 2019)Invisible to the naked eye, but present everywhere. Microbial organisms live and reproduce in almost any conceivable environment on the planet. In recent years, researchers have started to gain quantified information of ... -
Exploring methods for functional studies of CBM33-type lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
(Master thesis, 2013-09-23)Conversion of biomass to sustainable sources of soluble sugars for fermentation has been subject of intensive research in the field of biorefinery the last decade. The recalcitrant nature of many polysaccharides create a ... -
Exploring regulatory evolution after whole genome duplication using machine learning
(Master thesis, 2021)The Atlantic salmon underwent a whole-genome duplication 80 million years ago and has kept around half of the duplicated genes. Over time, some genes have become more active, while others have become less active, due to ... -
Exploring the potential for novel prebiotics
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Despite emerging evidence showing the connection between health and gut microbiota, there is still much unknown. Previous research has examined the ability of the common gut bacteria Bacteroides spp. to degrade ... -
