The Nordic LipidForum: Lipids in Covid-19 pandemic and a specific role in the personalised nutrition

Webinar Due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic situation, the board of Nordic Lipidforum decided to postpone the next Symposium until 2022. This is a misfortune for our every year continued and very much enjoyed tradition to meet each other’s and update our knowledge in lipids. Therefore, we wish to invite you to our afternoon Webinar on the 16th of June.

Please take this as a change to learn more on the effects of cod liver oil in the status of COVID-19 disease. The topic personalized nutrition is introduced from the view of practical tools used in metabolomics. The theme is continued by revealing the results achieved in the recent intervention studies in Denmark and in Finland.

Fish Hydrolysates use against the Metabolic Syndrome ?

Webinar To Continue our webinar series about the health effects of marine ingredients, our next topic is the Metabolic Syndrome.
These last few years, the Metabolic Syndrome became a serious issue due to its fast and high development but several epidemiologic studies reported a link between fish consumption and a decrease in its prevalence.

The Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Western lifestyles with diets rich in fats and sugars promote its development. Its complexity makes it difficult to study, but actually, its worldwide prevalence can be estimated to be about 25% of the world population.
