  2. 1. Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient

    Author : Karolina Östbring; Aptitkontroll; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drying; Storage Conditions; Appetite; Thylakoids; Heat treatment; Chlorophyll; Spinach;

    Abstract : Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent overconsumption. READ MORE

  4. 2. Plant foods, plasma enterolactone and breast cancer - with a focus on estrogen receptor status and genetic variation

    Author : Emily Sonestedt; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; plant foods; breast cancer; fibre; epidemiology; lignans; enterolactone; plasma; estrogen receptor α; estrogen receptor β; polymorphisms; reliability; nutrition; prospective;

    Abstract : Diets high in fibre have previously been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Several potent compounds may exist in high-fibre diets that might protect against breast cancer, for example lignans. READ MORE
