  4. 2. Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss

    Author : Caroline Montelius; Aptitkontroll; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Overweight; Obesity; Appetite Regulation; Thylakoids; Craving; Satiety;

    Abstract : The incidence of overweight and obesity has reached alarming proportions. Today, overweight, obesity and the metabolic diseases cause more death than starvation. To counteract an increasing body weight gain, regulation of appetite and a controlled food intake is of greatest importance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient

    Author : Karolina Östbring; Aptitkontroll; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drying; Storage Conditions; Appetite; Thylakoids; Heat treatment; Chlorophyll; Spinach;

    Abstract : Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent overconsumption. READ MORE

  6. 4. Oxidation and reduction reactions of the water-oxidizing complex in photosystem II

    Author : Long Vo Pham; Johannes Messinger; Imre Vass; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosystem II PSII ; oxidation; reduction; flash induced oxygen evolution pattern FIOP ; water; oxygen; global fitting program GFP ; thylakoids; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : The oxygen that we breathe and food that we eat are products of the natural photosynthesis. Molecular oxygen is crucial for life on Earth owing to its role in the glycolysis and citric acid pathways that yield in aerobic organisms the energy-rich ATP molecules. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme : From Proteomics to Energy Transfer

    Author : Tanai Cardona; Ann Magnuson; Matthias Rögner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nostoc punctiforme; heterocyst; photosynthesis; thylakoid; isolation; proteomics; photosystem; energy transfer; hydrogen; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to provide a thorough characterization of the photosynthetic machinery from the heterocysts of Nostoc punctiforme strain ATCC 29133. In this thesis I describe the protocols I have optimized for the isolation of thylakoids from vegetative cells, the purification of heterocysts and the isolation of thylakoids from the purified heterocysts.
