  1. 1. In Vitro Availability of Iron in High-Tannin Sorghum. Effect of Enzymatic Oxidation of Phenolic Compounds

    Författare :Erika Matuschek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioavailability; catechol groups; polyphenols; polyphenol oxidase; iron; in vitro availability; tyrosinase; fruit extracts; sorghum; oxidation; tannins; galloyl groups;

    Sammanfattning : Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. In low income countries, it is to a large extent caused by low bioavailability of iron in the vegetable diet. Vegetable diets contain large amounts of compounds that inhibit iron absorption, e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic aspects on schizophrenia and cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites : focus on association studies with candidate genes

    Författare :Erik Jönsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :association study; schizophrenia; DNA polymorphisms; dopamine receptors DRD2; DRD3; DRD4 ; tyrosine hydroxylase; tryptophan hydroxylase; catechol-O-methyltransferase; neurotrophin-3; ciliary neurotrophic factor; healthy subjects; cerebrospinal fluid;

    Sammanfattning : Schizophrenia is a syndrome with psychotic symptoms. The pathogenesis of schizophrenia most likely reflects brain abnormalities and heritable components are present. The principal objective of the present thesis was to investigate some possible genetic influences in the genesis or pathophysiology of schizophrenia. LÄS MER

  4. 3. SAR studies of Capsazepinoid Bronchodilators The B-ring and the C-region

    Författare :Magnus Berglund; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; bronchodilator; Capsazepine; structure activity relationship;

    Sammanfattning : Capsazepine and similar compounds, capsazepinoids, were shown to be general inhibitors of agonist (leukotriene D4, histamine, acetylcholine, prostaglandin D2) evoked constriction of human small airway preparations. The mechanism of action remains to be elucidated, but established bronchodilator principles, e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Functional Layer-by-Layer films and aerogels of cellulose nanofibrils

    Författare :Erdem Karabulut; Lars Wågberg; Joseph B. Schlenoff; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the preparation of functional Layer-by-Layer (LbL) films of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and polyelectrolytes. LbL films ranging in thickness from 10 nm to 5 μm were deposited onto both solid surfaces and porous nanocellulose aerogels in order to prepare functional surfaces and materials. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bioelectrochemical Applications of Reactions Catalyzed by Immobilized Enzymes

    Författare :Xiao-Jing Tang; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acetate Kinase.; NAD NADH recycling; Enzyme Electrodes; Enzyme reactors; Enzyme Immobilization; Electrochemical detection; Flow Injection Analysis; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The sensitivity of biosensors can be increased substantially by incorporation in a substrate recycling scheme. Based on the amplification of NAD+/NADH by the recycling reaction catalyzed by glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and diaphorase, NAD+/NADH can be determined amperometrically with around 1000 times higher sensitivity than for the substrate sensing mode.
