  2. 11. Controlling Fusarium Head Blight in oat

    Author : Alfia Khairullina; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; FHB; oat; UDP-glucosyltransferase; deoxynivalenol; mycotoxins; biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium head blight; Fusarium graminearum; endophytes;

    Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. READ MORE

  4. 12. Sex steroid metabolism and body composition

    Author : Charlotte Swanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : UDP glucuronosyltranferases; polymorphisms; androgens; glucuronidated androgen metabolites; fat mass; bone; metabolic risk factors; population study;

    Abstract : Background: The bioactive androgens testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulate bone and fat mass in men. The effects of androgens are largely determined by the rate of their synthesis and inactivation. READ MORE

  5. 13. The expression and regulation of hyaluronan synthases and their role in glycosaminoglycan synthesis

    Author : Jonas Brinck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; hyaluronan; glycosaminoglycans; CD44; growth factors; UDP-glucose dehydrogenase; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; medicinsk biokemi;

    Abstract : The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan is an essential component of the extracellular matrix in all higher organisms, affecting cellular processes such as migration, proliferation and differentiation. Hyaluronan is synthesized by a plasma membrane bound hyaluronan synthase (HAS) which exists in three genetic isoforms. READ MORE

  7. 15. A UDP-glucose deficient mutant cell line as a model to study the cytotoxicity of Clostridium perfringens PLC

    Author : Marietta Flores Diaz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A Chinese Hamster fibroblast mutant cell line, deficient in UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) and hypersensitive to Clostridium perfringens phospholipase C (PLC) was used in this study to determine some of the molecular consequences of a cellular UDP-Glc deficiency. Furthermore, using this cell as a model, structure/function studies were performed to identify residues critical for the cytotoxic activity of PLC. READ MORE
