11. Microbial regulation of PPARgamma : nuclear receptor networks important for colonic homeostasis
Sammanfattning : One of the central issues surrounding the physiology of good health is to uncover and understand the molecular networks responsible for its maintenance. The alimentary tract in particular, demands a properly sustained homeostatic control since it is constantly challenged by potentially harmful agents along with innocuous nutrients, with the burden of basic metabolic functions in its ward.

12. Host Immunity-Microbiota-Virus Interactions at the Intestinal Mucosal surface in Health and Disease
Sammanfattning : The presence of viral immune triggers at the intestinal mucosa can have multipleglobal effects on intestinal integrity, including relative protection fromsubsequent inflammatory bowel disease. During the last century, the westernworld has achieved a remarkable success in preventing infectious diseases,which increased the general life expectancy dramatically. LÄS MER
13. Glycerol esters of butyric and valeric acids counteract diet-related disorders : Prevention of metabolic disturbances induced by high-fat intake
Sammanfattning : Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), gut metabolites formed from indigestible dietary components by the colonic microbiota, are associated with numerous health effects, and may be responsible for the beneficial effects, at least in part, associated with dietary fibre. High-fat diets are known to cause low-grade inflammation in the body, but SCFAs are suggested to counteract unfavourable effects induced by these types of diets. LÄS MER
14. Gastrointestinal Disorders in Women
Sammanfattning : Abstract: This doctoral thesis has sought to clarify the influence of gender in gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Women with different hormone profiles were investigated, their colonic microbiota was characterized, and the impact of lifestyle and risk factors for GI disease were examined. LÄS MER
15. Early stage inflammation and cancer as reflected in the gastrointestinal mucus composition: implications for diagnosis, prognosis and pathogenesis
Sammanfattning : Mucus covers our inner interfaces towards the environment, providing protection while enabling vital interaction with the outside world. The mucus is built around mucin proteins, which are important for our defences against infection and inflammation, but may also contribute to carcinogenesis and tumour progression. LÄS MER
