Prof. Stine Marie Ulvern, head of Nutrition Department at the Medical Faculty of the University of Oslo and coordinator of MSCA NUTRIOME network  will be the guest of the upcoming Open Seminar series held as a part of the WELCOME2 ERA Chair project.

The seminar „Use of dietary intervention studies to understand the impact of dietary fat on human health” will take place on 11 October at 10:00 am at the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research PAS (Tuwima 10 Str., Olsztyn).

Fatty acids and dietary fat plays a major role human health. In order to understand the biological mechanisms of fatty acids on human health we conduct dietary intervention studies and meal studies and combine traditional cardiovascular risk markers with gene expression profiling and comprehensive metabolic profiling. The focus on this presentation will be on the effect of replacing saturated fat with omega-6 fatty acids in CVD risk markers, and how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids causes large variation in TG response after intervention.
