1. In Vitro Availability of Iron in High-Tannin Sorghum. Effect of Enzymatic Oxidation of Phenolic Compounds
Abstract : Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. In low income countries, it is to a large extent caused by low bioavailability of iron in the vegetable diet. Vegetable diets contain large amounts of compounds that inhibit iron absorption, e.g. READ MORE

2. Genetic aspects on schizophrenia and cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites : focus on association studies with candidate genes
Abstract : Schizophrenia is a syndrome with psychotic symptoms. The pathogenesis of schizophrenia most likely reflects brain abnormalities and heritable components are present. The principal objective of the present thesis was to investigate some possible genetic influences in the genesis or pathophysiology of schizophrenia. READ MORE

3. SAR studies of Capsazepinoid Bronchodilators The B-ring and the C-region
Abstract : Capsazepine and similar compounds, capsazepinoids, were shown to be general inhibitors of agonist (leukotriene D4, histamine, acetylcholine, prostaglandin D2) evoked constriction of human small airway preparations. The mechanism of action remains to be elucidated, but established bronchodilator principles, e.g. READ MORE

4. Functional Layer-by-Layer films and aerogels of cellulose nanofibrils
Abstract : This thesis deals with the preparation of functional Layer-by-Layer (LbL) films of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and polyelectrolytes. LbL films ranging in thickness from 10 nm to 5 μm were deposited onto both solid surfaces and porous nanocellulose aerogels in order to prepare functional surfaces and materials. READ MORE

5. Bioelectrochemical Applications of Reactions Catalyzed by Immobilized Enzymes
Abstract : The sensitivity of biosensors can be increased substantially by incorporation in a substrate recycling scheme. Based on the amplification of NAD+/NADH by the recycling reaction catalyzed by glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and diaphorase, NAD+/NADH can be determined amperometrically with around 1000 times higher sensitivity than for the substrate sensing mode.
