Using translational research model systems ranging from isolated organelles to cells to mice, rats, sheep and humans coupled with state of the art as well as classical biochemical and molecular biology methods our long-term aim is to mimic, understand and treat or prevent adverse human conditions and disease... We have established or developed animal and cellular models to be able to understand how dietary challenges like for example a high fructose diet or a low protein diet can affect the offspring phenotype at the organism, cellular and subcellular level, focusing on nutrient uptake and metabolism during development in both placenta and the fetus...
