Sabbatical: work on the book “The Global Ten Billion People Issue” core issue: global health world population directly correlated to the food quantity targeted at ≈2800 kcal/caput/day. At present A.D. 2013 with a global world population of ≈ 7 billion people, around 1 billion are dying a hungry death (BMI<15) while on the other side 1 billion people are dying a hungry death (BMI < 30) over a more extended period of 20 years due to the consequences of obesity (BMI> 30) and its “burden” of economic very costly Chronic Degenerative welfare diseases (CDs).
Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries (AFI),Department of Aquaculture & Fisheries, Wageningen University, The Netherlands. Associate Professor (UHD). Practical work for publ. 8 (sleep in fish). Scientific Book in preparation. Work out part III). the substitute Paleolithic diet based on the sustainable ecological balanced new agricultural process a sea-based “Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture” (IMTA) approach of food ingredients based on seaweeds, bivalves and (cheap≈herbivorous) finfish. Seaweed work partly based on work performed at PRI (WUR) period: 2008-aug.2010.
Research: The development of the sea farm (with emphasis on seaweeds. Note: the food components of the sea farm have great correspondence with these of the “Paleolithic diet” [hunter-gatherer diet] (see publication no.62) for which it is assumed they prevent chronic degenerative Westernized inflammatory diseases like Insulin Resistance (IR) and/or Type-2 Diabetes.
Research: “Is swimming the natural trigger for eel maturation?” Integrative Zoology, Biology, University Leiden.
Here I have performed MRI studies on the effects of anti-HIV cocktails on the fat distribution in mice models.
The research I have performed during this period was focused inducing by High Fat diet intervention Insulin Resistance (IR)/type-2 Diabetes (DM2) in a C57BL/6 mouse model. With LCMS techniques of heart-, hindlimb-, non-adipose muscle, liver, brain and blood plasma the different lipid fractions were determined in order to find possible biomarkers and unravel the organ/tissue dependent causes for DM2. There was also focus on hepatic steatosis and fatty degeneration of heart muscle caused by a high-fat diet. For this purpose a special MRI technology application was developed which was validated with a conventional technique like thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). Finally we could apply localized in vivo MRI in combination with 1H-NMR on a voxel of mouse liver tissue to study the process of hepatic steatosis.

A machine to make pelleted food which remains its texture longer in water while feeding the fish.
4). Fish disease laboratory with the possibility to make microscopic preparations of tissues/organs by cutting the fixated material in parrafin using a microtome. Other accessories: tissue fixation fluids, hydration, dehydration series, vacuum-pump, advanced microscope with photo camera, microscopic small tools like object- and cover-glasses, bath sets and associated chemical compounds, staining fluids for the microscopic preparations, hematological techniques, microbial techniques such as the API system to identify bacteria, antibiotics, dissection and cutting material for anatomical dissection of animals, anesthetics for the fish etcetera, etc.
