1. Lipoproteomics : Environmental and Genetic Factors Affecting High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Sammanfattning : Lipoprotein particles act as lipid transporters in the blood stream, and measuring cholesterol content in specific subclasses of lipoprotein particles has long been, and still is, a frequently used tool to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a subclass of lipoproteins often regarded as providing protection against CVD via several functions including reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory capacities.

2. Involvement of the Opioid System in High Alcohol Consumption : Environmental and Genetic Influences
Sammanfattning : It is well accepted that both inherent and environmental factors influence the pathogenesis of alcohol dependence. This thesis investigates the role of the opioid system in the initiation and maintenance of high ethanol intake. LÄS MER
3. Consumer Perception of Organic and Genetically Modified Foods : Health and Environmental Considerations
Sammanfattning : The aim was to study consumer attitudes to and perceptions of organic and genetically modified (GM) foods and factors influencing the purchase/non purchase of these two types of foods. Data were collected by two questionnaire surveys (random nation-wide samples of 2000 consumers, response rate 58% and 39% respectively) and one interview study (n=40). LÄS MER
4. Wheat quality under a climate spell : a focus on protein, physico-chemical and growth characteristics evaluated by innovatively combined approaches
Sammanfattning : The quality of bread is largely determined by the gluten protein concentration and composition, both greatly influenced by environmental factors such as heat and drought. Future climate in Sweden is expected to fluctuate severely, affecting gluten proteins and the production of bread wheat, as well as future availability of food. LÄS MER
5. Uncovering biomarkers and molecular heterogeneity of complex diseases : Utilizing the power of Data Science
Sammanfattning : Uncovering causal drivers of complex diseases is yet a difficult challenge. Unlike single-gene disorders complex diseases are heterogeneous and are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors which complicates the identification of patient subgroups and the disease causal drivers.
