  2. 1. Mucin-like proteins in Drosophila development

    Author : Zulfeqhar Ali Syed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucins; PTS-domains; Drosophila development; Tube shape; Hindgut; Midgut; Malpighian tubules; Luminal matrix;

    Abstract : Mucins are large and highly glycosylated proteins and major component of the mucus that coats the lining of epithelial organs. Mucins are characterized by the presence of extended regions rich in the amino acids Proline, Threonine and Serine (PTS domain), where the Serines and Threonines are O-glycosylated to form sugar-rich mucin domains.

  4. 2. Embryonic ecdysone-induced gene expression and progression of organ morphogenesis

    Author : Tina Mitra Chavoshi Alizadeh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Drosophila; trachea; hindgut; tubulogenesis; luminal matrix; ecdysteroid; EcR:Usp; dorsal closure;

    Abstract : The formation of an epithelial organ requires a set of organ-specific gene programs that instruct parallel and successive developmental events. Still, it is unclear what are the core regulatory programs and how such programs are timely coordinated within the organ. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of Dietary Fibre and Probiotics on Hindgut Fermentation in Healthy Rats and in Rats with Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Colitis and Colon Cancer

    Author : Camilla Bränning; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carboxylic acids; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; hindgut fermentation; Colonic health; prebiotics; microbiota; dietary fibre;

    Abstract : The importance of colonic fermentation has been realised during recent years as it has been found to be associated with colonic health and thus the overall health of the individual. The fermentation of dietary fibre and the addition of probiotics can have positive effects on the luminal environment and the colonic microbiota. READ MORE

  6. 4. Content and Distribution of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in the Hindgut of Rats Fed Various Sources of Indigestible Carbohydrates

    Author : Åsa Henningsson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rats; red kidney beans; Nutrition; Näringslära; oligosaccharides; non-starch polysaccharides; resistant starch; dietary fibres; indigestible carbohydrates; short-chain fatty acids; fermentation;

    Abstract : There is increasing evidence that short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) formed by colonic fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates have beneficial physiological effects. Butyric acid is the main energy substrate for the colonic mucosa and has been implicated as important in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the colonic mucosa, such as distal ulcerative colitis and cancer.

  7. 5. Distribution and actions of insect tachykinin-related peptides

    Author : Åsa Winther; Peter D. Evans; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Insects; Insekter;

    Abstract : Tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) have been identified in a number of invertebrates belonging to the mollusca, euchiurdea, crustacea and insecta. The TRPs are named after their sequence similarities and possible common evolutionary relationship to the vertebrate tachykinins. READ MORE
