1. Allergic airway disease : studies on diesel exhaust exposures, oxylipins and antioxidants
Sammanfattning : Allergic airway disease, i.e. allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, is a common health problem. The prevalence is increasing in most countries of the world. LÄS MER
2. Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Oxylipins : Application to Cytochrome P450-Dependent Metabolism
Sammanfattning : Cytochrome P450 (CYP) family 4 constitutes monoxygenases responsible for hydroxylation of fatty acids and other lipids. For example, CYP4F3 metabolizes leukotrienes and CYP4F8 prostaglandin H. Importantly, six of the twelve CYP4 enzymes are orphans, i.e. LÄS MER
3. Plant Oxylipins and Lipid Transfer Proteins in Defense : - It’s all about the fat
Sammanfattning : Oxylipins, the oxygenated metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are found in many eukaryotic organisms. In plants, several enzymes can produce different types of oxylipins, and the chloroplast structural galactolipids mono- and digalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG, respectively) are examples of sources of substrate PUFAs. LÄS MER
4. Damsel in distress – metabolomics as a novel tool to investigate the effects of wastewater exposure on damselfly larvae
Sammanfattning : Aquatic organisms, such as aquatic invertebrates, are exposed to anthropogenic pollutants through their environment. These pollutants, despite their low levels, can adversely affect exposed individuals or even entire ecosystems, especially when present in complex mixtures. LÄS MER
5. Quantification of inflammatory mediators to explore molecular mechanisms and sub-phenotypes of asthma
Sammanfattning : This thesis summarizes a series of studies using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry methodologies to quantify metabolites of fatty acids (i.e. LÄS MER
