  2. 1. Cyanide and central nervous system : a study with focus on brain dopamine

    Author : Gudrun Cassel; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CNS; cyanide; dopaminergic system; convulsions; receptor binding; tyrosine hydroxylase; monoamine oxidase; extracellular release; inositol phosphate; GABA; GAD;

    Abstract : The brain is a major target site in acute cyanide intoxication, as indicated by several symptoms and signs. Cyanide inhibits the enzyme cytochrome oxidase. This inhibition causes impaired oxygen utilization in all cells affected, severe metabolic acidosis and inhibited production of energy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pea-Protein Products for Food Applications Methods for Improving Iron and Zinc Availability

    Author : Mattias Fredrikson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pea-protein; phytate; phytase-enzyme; oligosaccharides; phytate-degradation; ion chromatography; inositol-phosphate; iron and zinc availability; pea-protein purification;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with some aspects of and possibilities for the production of pea protein with improved nutritional and physiological qualities. The improved pea protein can be used as a beneficial alternative to soya protein in food applications, such as infant formula. READ MORE

  5. 3. Galanin receptor ligands

    Author : Johan Runesson; Ülo Langel; Lena Mäler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Galanin; GALP; GPCR; Agonist; GalR; Chimeric peptide; Inositol phosphate production; Receptor specificity; Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi;

    Abstract : In the nervous system galanin primarily displays a modulatory role. The galaninergic system consists of a number of bioactive peptides with a highly plastic expression pattern and three different receptors. The lack of receptor subtype selective ligands and antibodies have severely hampered the charac-terization of this system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Role of inositol pyrophosphates in pancreatic beta cell function

    Author : Subu Surendran Rajasekaran; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inositol pyrophosphates are high energy diphosphate containing molecules that are ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells. They have been implicated in diverse cellular processes ranging from DNA repair, telomere length regulation, ribosome synthesis, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis to osmoregulation, phosphate homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, vesicle trafficking, cytoskeletal rearrangement and exocytosis.

  7. 5. Organic phosphorus speciation in environmental samples : Method development and applications

    Author : Julia V. Paraskova; Per J.R. Sjöberg; Emil Rydin; William T. Cooper; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic phosphorus; DNA; phospholipids; inositol phosphates; sediment; soil; extraction; liquid chromatography LC ; mass spectrometry MS ; Kemi med inriktning mot analytisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Analytical Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the development of new methodology for the identification and quantification of organic phosphorus compounds in environmental samples.Phosphorus is a vital element for primary production and one of the factors contributing to eutrophication. READ MORE
