  1. 1. Malting of Barley for healthy foods. Optimal conditions for phytate removal and preservation of ?-glucan, in vitro iron availability and degradation of phytate and ?-glucan during in vitro digestion

    Författare :Ann-Katrin Haraldsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phytate; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; iron availability; barley; phytase activity; beta-glucan; in vitro digestion; malting; Caco-2 cells;

    Sammanfattning : A high concentration of phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate) in cereals is known to impair absorption of dietary minerals. The aim of this work was to optimize a malting procedure to degrade phytate and/or increase phytase activity in barley to improve iron availability and to preserve the content of β-glucan, since β-glucan is associated with health promoting properties and is therefore of nutritional interest.

  3. 2. Growth and integrity of the small intestine in malnutrition and trauma

    Författare :Michael Wirén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Glutamine; growth factors; intestinal mucosa; malnutrition; permeability; surgery; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The small intestine is an active metabolic organ constituting a functional and immunologic barrier to toxins and microbes in the intestinal lumen. Injuries are repaired by rapid cell replication, which depends on nutritional and humoral growth factors. Glutamine has been suggested to be the most important nutrient for the enterocytes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Health Promoting Effects of Bioactive Peptides in Milk - Studies on Cultured Normal Cells and Cancer Cells

    Författare :Catja Freiburghaus; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the bioactive peptides lactoferricin and ubiquitin and findings suggesting that they have ability to modify the risk of cancer. It is known that components in bovine milk may improve human health and modify the risk of diseases. Examples of such compounds are bioactive peptides, i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pivotal role of the nuclear receptor PPARgamma in colon epithelial cells

    Författare :Emmelie Å Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : When symbiosis between the residential intestinal flora and the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract is broken one endpoint may be chronic inflammation, e.g. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The disruption of the epithelial lining elicits activation of NF-kappaB and secretion of potent inflammatory mediators. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bioactivity of Medicinal Bolivian Andean plants. Effects on cell proliferation and related processes

    Författare :Gloria Rodrigo; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bolivian medicinal plants; colon cancer; cell proliferation; DNA synthesis; apoptosis; caspase-3; sesquiterpene; curcuphenol; damsin; coronopilin;

    Sammanfattning : Colon cancer is common in both developed and developing countries, and is responsible for at least 600,000 deaths globally every year. It is therefore the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Extensive studies are being conducted worldwide to find more effective drugs that can be used in cancer treatment. LÄS MER
