  2. 1. Efflux of Sucrose from Mesophyll Cells during Apoplastic Phloem Loading in Pea

    Author : Chana Opaskornkul; Jim McDonald; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysiologisk botanik; Physiological Botany;

    Abstract : Efflux of sucrose from photosynthesizing mesophyll cells into the apoplastic space, during apoplastic phloem loading, was investigated using suspension of protoplasts and inside-out plasma membrane vesicles isolated from mature leaves of in Pisum sativum L. cv. Fenomen. READ MORE

  4. 2. Perioperative nutrition and insulin resistance

    Author : Monika Svanfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Insulin sensitivity; insulin resistance; hyperinsulinaemic normoglycaemic clamps; wholebody glucose kinetics; whole-body protein kinetics; indirect calorimetry; surgery; carbohydrate loading; hypocaloric nutrition; bed rest and TPN;

    Abstract : Surgical trauma induces a catabolic response with development of insulin resistance as a central and well-characterised feature. In insulin resistance, the stimulating effect of insulin on peripheral glucose uptake and the suppressing effect of insulin on endogenous glucose release are decreased, resulting in hyperglycaemia.

  5. 3. Diet and postprandial risk markers for complications in type 2 diabetes

    Author : Camilla Olofsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The period after a meal is complex with fluctuation in blood glucose, lipids and other metabolic responses. This may induce and/or increase inflammation and contribute to future development of diabetic complications. Prevention of complications include well-controlled disease management, including diet.

  6. 4. Processing and presentation of exogenous antigen by dendritic cells

    Author : Liying Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : DC; vesicular MHC-I processing; Adenosine; CD 1 d; TACA;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DC) play a key role in the immune system. In this thesis, we have investigated and characterized pathways for the processing and presentation of exogenous OVA on MHC-I ("cross-presentation") and how these were influenced by the purine nucleoside Adenosine (Ado), an immune regulator that accumulates to high concentrations at sites of inflammation and tumor growth.

  7. 5. Bioethanol Production from Lignocellulosic Materials: Some studies on Sugarcane Bagasse and Paja Brava

    Author : Cristhian Carrasco; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Paja Brava Sugarcane Bagasse Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pichia stipitis;

    Abstract : The commercial feasibility of ethanol production from biomass is dependent on the availability of lignocellulose in large amounts at low cost. Various kinds of agricultural residues are of interest, due to the fact that these feedstocks have well-established cultivation procedures already in place, as well as technology for harvest and transportation.
