In 1886 a physiological laboratory was opened at the Karolinska institute in Stockholm and the same year Robert Tigerstedt was appointed as professor and head of the department. Tigerstedt started the following years physiological experiments about nutrion and he also gave a series of lectures concerning the physiological principles of nutrion. This can be seen as a stating point for the more particular investigations which was undertaken during the following decade by Tigerstedt himself and some of his students. Together with the medical chemists the physiologist participateted in the public debate about nutrion, the value of Justus von Liebig's meat extract, the price of different food stufs and other questions. The relations between the science of nutrition, agricultural interests and some popular health movements was complicated and the public debate anticipated the conflicts of interest which was to become more evident during the first half of the 20th century.
1886年，斯德哥尔摩卡罗琳医学院开设了一个生理实验室，同年，罗伯特·蒂格斯特德被任命为教授兼系主任。在接下来的几年里，蒂格斯特德开始了关于营养的生理学实验，他还举办了一系列关于营养生理学原理的讲座。这可以被视为蒂格斯特德本人及其一些学生在接下来十年中进行更具体研究的起点。生理学家与医学化学家一起参与了关于营养、尤斯图斯·冯·李比希肉提取物的价值、不同食品价格及其他问题的公开辩论。营养科学、农业利益和一些大众健康运动之间的关系很复杂，公开辩论预示着利益冲突，而这种冲突在20世纪上半叶将变得更加明显。
