• Metabolic switching of human skeletal muscle cells in vitro 

      Thoresen, G. Hege; Hessvik, Nina Pettersen; Bakke, Siril Skaret; Aas, Vigdis; Rustan, Arild (Prostaglandins leukotrienes and essential fatty acids;85 (5), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-05)
      In this review we will focus on external factors that may modify energy metabolism in human skeletal muscle cells (myotubes) and the ability of the myotubes to switch between lipid and glucose oxidation. We describe the ...
    • Substrate oxidation in primary human skeletal muscle cells is influenced by donor age 

      Aas, Vigdis; Thoresen, G. Hege; Rustan, Arild; Lund, Jenny (Cell and Tissue Research;382 (2020), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      Primary human myotubes represent an alternative system to intact skeletal muscle for the study of human diseases related to changes in muscle energy metabolism. This work aimed to study if fatty acid and glucose metabolism ...
