-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Background: Plant-based foods introduced during complementary feeding (CF) can contribute to long-term health andclimate friendly diet, but longitudinal multicomponent approaches are lacking.Objectives: To investigate the effects of a protein-reduced, Nordic complementary diet on dietary intake, biomarkers andgrowth and compared to the current Swedish dietary recommendations for infants until 18 mo of age.Design: Healthy, term infants (n=250) were recruited and randomly allocated to either a Nordic diet group (NG) or aconventional diet group (CG). From 4-6 mo of age, the NG followed a taste portions schedule with Nordic fruitand vegetables. From 6 mo up to 18 mo of age, the NG was supplied with Nordic homemade baby food recipes,protein-reduced baby food products and parental support. The CG followed the current Swedish dietaryrecommendations for infants. Dietary intake data, biomarkers and anthropometry were collected frombaseline up to 18 mo of age.Results: Of the 250 infants, 82% (n=206) completed the study. The NG consumed daily 42-45% more fruit andvegetables compared to the CG at 12 and 18 mo of age (p<0.001). Plasma folate was higher in the NGcompared to the CG at 12 mo (p<0.001) and 18 mo of age (p=0.003) and protein intake and blood ureanitrogen (BUN) were lower at both 12 and 18 mo of age (p<0.001). There were no group differences in energyintake (EI), growth, iron status or other biomarkers.Conclusions: The NG consumed significantly more plant-based Nordic foods compared to CG, a difference that lasted at leastuntil 18 mo of age. The lower protein intake in the NG had no effect on growth or iron status. The introductionof a protein-reduced, Nordic diet during CF is safe and feasible, and benefits a sustainable environment andhealth already during infancy and early childhood.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We aimed to determine the short- and long-term effects on growth, body composition, metabolic and inflammatory markers following supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei F19 (LF19) during weaning. Methods: One-hundred and seventy-nine healthy, infants in Umeå city, Västerbotten County were randomised to daily intake of cereals with (n=89) or without (n=90) LF19 108 colony-forming units from 4 to 13 months of age. Weight, length, head circumference and body composition, assessed by skinfold thickness, were examined at 4, 5.5, 6.5, 9, 12 and 13 months of age. Venous blood was drawn at 5.5 and 13 months. In all, 171 infants completed the intervention and were invited to a follow-up at 8-9 years of age between 2009 and 2011, 120 children participated. Weight, height, sagittal abdominal diameter and body composition (using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry-scan) were measured. Data on weight and height at 4 years were collected from medical records. The families filled out a 4-day food record and a food frequency questionnaire, physical activity was assessed using a pedometer for 7 days. At 5.5, 13 months and 8-9 years of age we analysed the serum blood lipid profile. At 8-9 years fasting glucose, insulin, aspartate and alanine transaminases were analysed in serum. Homeostatic Model Assessment index was calculated. At follow-up serum adiponectin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and plasma C-peptide, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1, glucagon, insulin, leptin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, resistin and visfatin were analysed. For characterisation of the plasma metabolome, a subgroup (n=40) was analysed at 5.5 and 13 months of age by gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF/MS) analysis and in all (n=112) children at the follow-up using untargeted GC-GC/MS. Results: There were no differences between the LF19 and placebo group regarding body weight, length/height at any assessment from 4 months to 8-9 years of age; nor were there any differences between the groups in body composition. In the LF19 group 19 % were overweight/obese, the corresponding number was 21 % in the placebo group (p=0.78). Analysed metabolic and inflammatory markers, both during the intervention and the follow-up did not differ between the two groups. At 13 months of age lower levels of palmitic acid and palmitoleic acid (both p<0.04) and higher levels of putrescine (p<0.01) were seen in the LF19 compared to the placebo group. These differences did not persist at 8-9 years of age. At that age, we found statistically stronger models when comparing overweight/obese and normal weight children as well as in relation to sex. Conclusion: Early intervention with the probiotic LF19 at the time of weaning exerted transient effects on the metabolome. In a long-term perspective, we found neither benefit nor harm on growth, body composition, metabolic or inflammatory markers following supplementation with LF19 during weaning.

- Diet is one of the determinants of gut microbial composition. Reported changes in the biodiversity of the gut microbiota in the obese have spurred interest in gut microbiota modulation by dietary interventions. Using an untargeted metabolomics approach, we previously reported that infant cereals with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei F19 (LF19) fed daily from 4 to 13 months of age affected the plasma metabolome with lower levels of fatty acids associated with obesity indices compared with placebo. The study participants were invited to a follow-up study at 8-9 years of age and 120 children participated. Venous blood was drawn after overnight fasting and plasma samples were available from 112 children. Samples were analysed using GCxGC-time-of-flight/MS for characterisation of the global plasma metabolome. A combination of multivariate and univariate analysis was used to reveal differences between the LF19 and placebo group, and according to weight class and sex. The lower levels of palmitic acid and palmitoleic acid in the LF19 group during the intervention did not remain at the follow-up. Stronger models according to weight class and sex were obtained. BMI was associated with several metabolites including the branched-chain amino acids leucine and isoleucine, and the aromatic amino acids, tyrosine and phenylalanine. Collectively, feeding LF19 during weaning induced transient effects on the plasma metabolome. The disparities seen in the metabolic profile of overweight/obese young school children underscore the need for effective early preventive and treatment strategies.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Background: The bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) is a hitherto unrecognized player in inflammation. Animals devoid of BSSL (knockout mice) are protected from developing collagen induced arthritis (CIA) and collagen antibody induced arthritis (CAIA), and antibodies directed towards BSSL has been proven to prevent or mitigate arthritis in mouse and rat arthritis models1. In humans, BSSL is present in blood2 and accumulate at sites of inflammation. Patients with acute pancreatitis have significantly increased plasma BSSL levels compared to healthy controls. Whether BSSL in blood originates from pancreas, inflammatory cells, or both remains to be elucidated.Objectives: To determine BSSL concentration in blood samples from patients with inflammatory joint disorders and to evaluate possible relationships between circulating BSSL levels and disease-activity variables.Methods: BSSL concentrations in plasma or serum were determined in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis arthritis (PsA), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Correlations between BSSL concentrations and disease activity score, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), S100A8/9, leukocyte- and neutrophil counts, proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were analyzed using Spearman rank-order correlation.Results: Significant correlations between BSSL concentration in plasma and disease activity score (DAS28, rS=0.31, p=0.007), ESR (rS=0.58, p<0.000), CRP (rS=0.42, p=0.012), leukocytes (rS=0.66, p<0.000), and neutrophils (rS=0.71, p<0.000) were found in RA. The BSSL plasma concentration decreased with duration of treatment with the TNFα inhibitor infliximab, in parallel with decreasing DAS28 score.BSSL concentration was significantly higher in sera from PsA patients with both oligo- and polyarthritis compared with healthy controls. Moreover, BSSL concentration in serum correlated significantly with S100A8/A9 and CRP concentrations (rS=0.54, p<0.001 and rS=0.49, p<0.001, respectively). No correlation between levels of BSSL and cytokines or chemokines were found in RA or PsA plasma or serum, respectively.In JIA, levels of BSSL in serum correlated significantly with JIA disease activity score (JADAS27) (rS=0.26, p=0.007), ESR (rS=0.47, p<0.000), and leukocytes (rS=0.32, p<0.000).Conclusion: BSSL concentration in serum and plasma correlated with disease activity in patients with inflammatory joint disorders, i.e. RA, PsA and JIA. These data in humans support the relevance of our previous studies in rodents and therefore also our hypothesis 1 that BSSL is a novel target for treatment of inflammatory diseases.
