معرفی
Anne Nilsson is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at the Division of Food and Pharma, Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. Her academic work bridges nutritional science, metabolism, and food technology, with a strong emphasis on dietary prevention of metabolic diseases. She is a member of the LTH Profile Area: Food and Bio, reflecting her interdisciplinary engagement.
Her research focuses on the impact of functional foods—particularly oats, cereals, and plant-based polar lipids—on metabolic responses such as glycemic control, appetite regulation, and gut hormone secretion. Key areas include the role of dietary fiber, whole grains, and gut microbiota in obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention. Her work often involves human dietary intervention studies, postprandial metabolism, and the gut-brain axis.
The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on oat polar lipids and their effects on cardiometabolic risk markers, glucose tolerance, and satiety in healthy adults and young subjects. These studies employ rigorous randomized crossover designs, indicating high-quality clinical nutrition research. The integration of gut microbiota analysis, such as with Prevotella copri, further demonstrates a systems approach to metabolic health.
