    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) regulates nutrient uptake, secretes hormones and has a crucial gut flora and enteric nervous system. Of relevance for these functions are the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the solute carriers (SLCs). READ MORE

    Abstract : Dietary fat quality influences the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A low-grade inflammation is suggested to contribute to the disease development, often accompanied by obesity. Whereas n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been considered anti-inflammatory, n-6 PUFA have been proposed to act pro-inflammatory. READ MORE

  5. 3. Toward celiac-safe foods - Investigation of the interaction between transglutaminase 2 and gluten

    Author : Niklas Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

    Abstract : Celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune enteropathy, may develop in genetically predisposed individuals upon ingestion of gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Overall prevalence of celiac disease is increasing and it currently affects around 1% of the population. READ MORE

  6. 4. The impact of nutrition on growth, biomarkers, and health outcomes in preterm infants

    Author : Cornelia Späth; Magnus Domellöf; Elisabeth Stoltz Sjöström; Deborah O’Connor; Umeå universitet; []
