  2. 1. Development of Enhanced Analytical Methodology in Pesticide Chemistry

    Author : Tuija Pihlström; Karin E Markides; Bengt-Göran Österdahl; Amadeo Rodríguez Fernández-Alba; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry; analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : The analysis of pesticide residues in fruit, vegetables, rape seed and water has been improved using developments in sample handling and analytical techniques. The method development is associated with analytical difficulties, since pesticides currently used in agriculture represent a variety of chemical classes having very different physico chemical properties.

  4. 2. Anti-cancer effects of bioactive compounds from rose hip fruit in human breast cancer cell lines : carotenoids, triterpenes, and ascorbate evaluated singly or in combination

    Author : Lijie Zhong; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rose hips have long been used in human diets as a food ingredient and supplement. Their multiple medical properties, which have been attributed to their abundant carotenoid composition, have attracted widespread scientific attention. This thesis examined the carotenoid composition in rose hips from five rose species. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sustainable Biobased Protein Superabsorbents from Agricultural Co-Products

    Author : Antonio Jose Capezza; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Eva Johansson; Antonio Guerrero; KTH; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

    Abstract : The preparation of sustainable protein superabsorbents from agricultural industry side-streams is reported. Wheat gluten (WG), a co-product from the ethanol/starch industry, was processed into foams with sponge-like behavior and high liquid uptake. READ MORE

  6. 4. Amyloid-β and lysozyme proteotoxicity in Drosophila : Beneficial effects of lysozyme and serum amyloid P component in models of Alzheimer’s disease and lysozyme amyloidosis

    Author : Liza Bergkvist; Ann-Christin Brorsson; Katarina Kågedal; Jan Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In the work presented this thesis, two different conditions that are classified as protein misfolding diseases: Alzheimer's disease and lysozyme amyloidosis and proteins that could have a beneficial effect in these diseases, have been studied using Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly. The fruit fly has been used for over 100 years to study and better understand fundamental biological processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Static and Dynamic Measurements of Neurotransmitters in Drosophila Brain

    Author : Carina Berglund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Neurotransmitters, the substances neurons use for communication, and their precursors and metabolites are of obvious importance for the wellbeing of the individual and when the neurotransmitter balance is off it can lead to catastrophic suffering as in the addiction to drugs or in neurodegenerative diseases. By understanding how neurons communicate with the environment, treatment may be found to aid in the symptoms of unbalance. READ MORE
