  2. 1. Inflammation in experimental neonatal brain injury and in a clinical study of preterm birth; involvement of galectin-3 and free radical formation

    Author : Christina Doverhag; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : preterm labour; premature prelabour rupture of membranes; chorioamnionitis; hypoxia-ischemia; neonatal brain injury; NADPH oxidase; galectin-3; MMP-9; ascorbyl radicals; antioxidative capacity;

    Abstract : Introduction; Intrauterine infection/inflammation is associated with preterm delivery (PTD) and severe neonatal morbidity. Inflammation is also important in the secondary neurotoxic cascade leading to perinatal brain injury. READ MORE

  4. 2. Physical activity, body composition, inflammation and effects on antioxidative capacity in sedentary adults

    Author : Petra Lundström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: For the past fifty years part the population has slowly become sedentary to an extent that it is nowadays considered normal behavior. Parallel with sedentary behavior there is an increase in obesity now reaching epidemic level. READ MORE

  5. 3. Probiotics and berry-associated polyphenols: catabolism and antioxidative effects

    Author : Maja Jakesevic; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bilberry; Rosehips; Chokeberry; Probiotics; Lactic acid bacteria; Polyphenols; Ischemia-reperfusion; Oxidative stress;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress can cause damage to DNA, proteins and lipids and is associated with inflammation and various human diseases as cancer, atherosclerosis, and autoimmune diseases. Polyphenol-rich diet, such as fruits and berries, may act as antioxidants and prevent oxidative stress and, thereby, associated diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Antioxidative Properties of Herring (Clupea harengus) Press Juice in Food, In Vitro and In Vivo Model Systems

    Author : Thippeswamy Sannaveerappa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; antioxidants; monocytes; washed cod mince; Clupea harengus; LDL oxidation; press juice; oxidation; ORAC; hemoglobin; alpha-tocopherol; herring; in vitro digestion.;

    Abstract : Some species like herring (Clupea harengus) are currently under-utilized due to their small size, dark colour and susceptibility to lipid oxidation. Our hypothesis has been that the high susceptibility of herring to oxidation makes it well equipped with natural antioxidants, both fat and water soluble ones. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genetic, morphological and chemical variation in the genus Harpagophytum

    Author : Mbaki Muzila; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Harpagophytum procumbens is a valuable medicinal plant but mistakes with plant identification at harvesting, and wilful adulteration using the presumably less efficient H. zeyheri are suggested. A multidisciplinary study with plant material from Botswana was conducted. READ MORE
