  2. 1. Genetic Analysis of Fat Metabolism in Domestic Pigs and their Wild Ancestor

    Author : Frida Berg; Leif Andersson; Maria Moller; Stefan Marklund; Sigbjörn Lien; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Genetics; Pig; Quantitative Trait Locus; Fat deposition; FAT1; Linkage map; RH map; Comparative map; Backcross; Identical by Descent mapping; Brown adipose tissue; UCP1; Genetik;

    Abstract : The domestication of the pig began about 9 000 years ago and many of the existing domestic breeds have been selected for phenotypic traits like lean meat and fast growth. Domestic pigs are phenotypically very different from the ancestral wild boar that has adapted to survive in their natural environment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Milk Membrane Lipids - Dispersions, Emulsions and Interactions with Proteins

    Author : Rianne Waninge; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Model milk membrane lipids; Emulsions; Vesicles; Cryo-TEM; Milk fat globule membrane; MFGM; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Milk is a dilute aqueous dispersion with a complex mixture of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Milk membrane lipids are a part of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), which covers the fat globules. During dairy processing membrane material is released and surface structure features are altered. READ MORE

  5. 3. QTL Analysis in the Pig : From the Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci to the Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms

    Author : Ellen Markljung; Leif Andersson; Göran Andersson; Göran Hjälm; Stefan Marklund; Holger Luthman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Domestic pigs have become very different form the wild ancestors they originate from. Selection for muscle growth and meat quality has made the pig a good model for genetic studies of muscle development.The first part of this thesis presents a genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a cross between Landrace and Hampshire pigs.

  6. 4. Protein kinase STK25 is a regulator of hepatic lipid partitioning and whole body metabolism

    Author : Manoj Amrutkar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NAFLD; NASH; Liver lipid metabolism; Type 2 diabetes; STK25;

    Abstract : In past decade, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated metabolic complications have become a major global threat for human health with epidemic increase in incidence. Currently available treatments for T2D have several limitations and side effects making it difficult safely reach adequate metabolic control. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combining mass spectrometric tissue imaging with conventional histology : focus on Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Santiago Solé Domènech; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Historically, most scientific discoveries have been accompanied by previous technological innovation. Representative examples are the introduction of gene sequencing technologies, which allowed for the mapping of the human genome, or the constant improvement in the microscopy field that lead to the introduction of modern multiphoton imaging techniques, allowing for live imaging of body organs in animal specimens.
