1. Microcirculation, Mucus and Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel diseases, (IBD), are a group of chronic disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract, and include Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The pathogenesis is not known, but involves at least in part a loss of tolerance towards the commensal colonic microbiota. LÄS MER
2. Citrobacter rodentium and Escherichia coli interactions with mucus producing colonic epithelical cells
Sammanfattning : The epithelial cells together with the mucus layer protect the host from noxious luminal substances and pathogenic invasion. Pathogens have evolved numerous strategies to circumvent these barriers and mount infection. C. rodentium is a murine model for the attaching and effacing intestinal E. LÄS MER
3. Mucus and mucins during gastrointestinal infections
Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract is protected by a continuously secreted mucus layer formed by mucin glycoproteins. The mucus layer and mucins change dynamically during infection. The main focus of this thesis was to investigate the changes in mucin and the mucus layer in the gastrointestinal tract during infection with the gastrointestinal pathogens C. LÄS MER
4. Diet and inflammation : the role of nitrate and conjugated linoleic acid
Sammanfattning : A diet rich in vegetables and unsaturated fatty acids is associated with a lower risk of major diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and chronic inflammation. Yet, despite extensive research, the active component(s) responsible for these effects has not been pinpointed and studies with single nutrients have been largely unsuccessful. LÄS MER
