  2. 1. Discovery of Novel Receptors for Lipid Mediators - a study leading to the identification of receptors involved in metabolism and the immune system

    Author : Niclas Nilsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology; Thiazolidinedione; SCFA; FFA; FFA2R; FFA1R; GPR43; GPR41; GPR40; BLT2; GPCR; Orphan; Receptor;

    Abstract : Intercellular communication is of crucial importance in regulating physiology and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved as an important mechanism in this process. Of the approximately 800 human GPCRs, about 160 are still considered to be “orphan” receptors for which an endogenous ligand remains to be identified. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neutrophil recruitment in periodontal disease

    Author : Agnes Dahlstrand Rudin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophil; periodontitis; P. gingivalis; F. nucleatum; SCFA; FFAR2; CD177; A1AT;

    Abstract : Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive in infected or injured tissues, where they engulf microbes and clean up cell debris. Periodontitis is one of the typical symptoms of both neutropenia and defect neutrophil functionality, suggesting an important role for these cells in maintenance of periodontal health. READ MORE

  5. 3. Influence of the microflora on gastrointestinal nitric oxide generation : studies in newborn infants and germ-free animals

    Author : Tanja Sobko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nitrite; nitrate; IBD; lactobacilli; probiotics; germ-free; SCFA; H 2; newborn infants;

    Abstract : Interactions between intestinal bacteria and the host play an important role in physiological regulation of gut function and in development of various diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) exhibits a variety of biological actions in the gut including regulation of regional blood flow, gut motility, water and electrolyte transport and immunity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Short-Chain Fatty Acid Starch Stabilized Pickering Emulsions : Design, Properties and Applications

    Author : Nabilah Binti Abdul Hadi; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Short-chain fatty acid starch; Physicochemical properties; Pickering emulsions; Starch modification; Emulsion stability; Starch hydrolysis; In vitro digestion; Lipolysis;

    Abstract : Pickering emulsions are emulsions stabilized by solid particles. Particles with optimal dual wettability toward both of the oil and water phases, can be adsorbed onto the interface, thereby providing the stability of the emulsions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nutritional effects of barley products — Mechanisms of action in the intestinal tract

    Author : Yadong Zhong; Kemicentrum Centrum för preventiv livsmedelsforskning; []
    Keywords : dietary fibre; malting; probiotics; high-fat diets; short-chain fatty acids; gut microbiota; low-grade inflammation; gene expression; Barley;

    Abstract : Barley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects.
