1. Gut microflora associated characteristics in children with celiac disease
Abstract : Aim: The over-arching aim of this thesis was to study some metabolic functions of the gut microflora in children with known or screening detected celiac disease (CD) and their first-degree relatives. Materials: Study I. A number of 36 untreated CD children, 47 after at least 3 months on glutenfree diet (GFD) and 42 healthy controls (HC). Study II. READ MORE

2. Influence of probiotics and other external factors on intestinal biochemical microflora-associated characteristics : studies in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic mice and in pigs
Abstract : The benefit of harboring a balanced intestinal microflora is well recognized. Therefore, in order to 'maintain or improve the intestinal flora, the use of microbial species as feed supplements, i.e. probiotics, has rapidly increased. READ MORE

3. Biochemical parameters reflecting the intestinal ecology of healthy adults and alterations of these parameters in patients with ulcerative colitis or rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract : The gastrointestinal microflora, the largest single collection of cells in the body, influence their human host in a variety of ways. Useful in this connection is the concept of Microflora-Associated Characteristics (MACs), which are defined as any anatomical structure or physiological, biochemical or immunological function in the host that is affected by the microflora.

4. Atopy in children : association to life style
Abstract : The prevalence of allergic diseases has risen; in some countries nearly half the children suffer from some type of hypersensitivity. The reason for this increase is obscure, but one explanation is suggested to be a changing panorama of microbial stimulation early in life. READ MORE

5. Faecal short-chain fatty acids as an indicator of the status of intestinal microbial ecology
Abstract : The aims of this study were to investigate how faecal concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) reflect intestinal microbial ecology. Faecal SCFAs and water content were determined in 93 healthy volunteers to establish the normal values in man and the correlations between various SCFAs and between SCFAs and faecal water. READ MORE
