2. 1. Feeding cassava foliage to sheep : nutrient properties and hydrogen cyanide toxicity

   Author : Khuc Thi Hue; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The potential of cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a protein-rich feed in sheep production in Vietnam was examined by studying cassava foliage yield, hydrogen cyanide (HCN) content, toxicity and performance of lambs fed the foliage as a supplement. Cassava foliage fed ad libitum as a protein supplement to a basal diet of urea-treated rice straw gave similar lamb live weight gain (LWG) as diets supplemented with commercial concentrate or protein-rich foliage of stylosanthes (Stylosanthes guianensis) or jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus).

4. 2. Nitrogen land-sea fluxes in the Baltic Sea catchment : Empirical relationships and budgets

   Author : Hanna Eriksson Hägg; Christoph Humborg; Carl-Magnus Mörth; Hans Borg; Sybil Seitzinger; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen fluxes; Baltic Sea; primary emissions; riverine export; Scenario analysis; climate change; animal protein consumption; fertilizer use; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis empirical relationships and modeling tools are used to describe the relationship between human activities and meso- and large scale riverine N fluxes from land to sea. On a large scale Paper I showed that by only having knowledge about human population size and runoff one can estimate the riverine export of DIN (r2= 0.76). READ MORE

5. 3. Dietary, Pharmacological and Environmental Effects on Brown Adipose Tissue

   Author : Erik Lindsund; Tore Bengtsson; Jan Nedergaard; Karsten Kristiansen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Obesity; brown adipose tissue; uncoupling protein 1; moderate cold exposure; calorimetry; thyroxine; dietary protein; thermic effect of food; diet-induced thermogenesis; adrenergic stimulation; mice; physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Obesity is a common health issue; over 12 % of the adult world population have obesity. Obesity has many co-morbidities including cardo-vascular diseases and diabetes. Obesity is the result of chronic positive energy balance, eating too much and expending too little. READ MORE

6. 4. Gene expression profiling in animal models of alcoholism

   Author : Christina Arlinde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Alcoholism; gene expression; microarray; animal model; rat; brain;

   Abstract : Genetic and environmental factors in alcoholism interact at the level of the transcriptome to encode the phenotypic traits of this complex clinical syndrome. Because of this, the prospect of simultaneous, genome wide, high-throughput analysis of gene expression in key brain areas potentially offers a novel strategy to identify new molecular treatment targets in this disease.

7. 5. Fuel and fly: adaptations to endurance exercise in migrating birds

   Author : Anders Kvist; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water balance; flight power; phenotypic flexibility; energy assimilation; basal metabolism; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

   Abstract : Birds on migration alternate between consuming fuel stores during flights and accumulating fuel stores during stopovers. This thesis highlights some of the ways in which migrating birds have adapted to the different demands of fuelling and flight. Most of the time on migration is spent at stopover sites accumulating fuel stores. READ MORE
