2. 6. Gut microbiota to counteract metabolic disorders and neuroinflammation : Impact of dietary factors and their potential to prevent Alzheimer’s disease

   Author : Nittaya Marungruang; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; gut microbiota; metabolic disorders; inflammation; neuroinflammation; lingonberries; dietary fibre; gut barrier; blood-brain barrier;

   Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Increased accumulations of senile plaques and tangles are the known neuropathological hallmarks of AD. However, the exact triggers for such protein accumulations, leading to cognitive impairment and important morphological alteration in AD, are still elusive. READ MORE

4. 7. Microfluidic and Molecular Tools for Genetic Analyses

   Author : Henrik Johansson; Mats Nilsson; Ivo Gut; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microfluidics; PCR; sequencing; cancer genetics; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : Methods that enable interrogation of multiple genomic regions in parallel are very useful for efficient detection of genetic variation. Two different types of probes are described in this thesis that can be used for direct analysis or for sample preparation upstream of Next Generation Sequencing. READ MORE

5. 8. Whole grain cereal products and baseline gut microbiota composition in metabolic and appetite regulation in healthy humans - Emphasizing rye and barley

   Author : Jonna Sandberg; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; Type 2 Diabetes; Whole grain; Rye; Barley; Gut microbiota; Glucose regulation; Gut fermentation;

   Abstract : The prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing continuously worldwide. These metabolic diseases are associated with many health issues, including increased risk of depression and cognitive impairment. Whole grain (WG) has shown potential to prevent obesity, T2D and CVD.

6. 9. Early Life Environmental Risk Factors and Gut Microbiota in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis : - More than a gut feeling

   Author : Erik Kindgren; Rosaura Casas; Johnny Ludvigsson; Thomas Abrahamsson; Robin Kahn; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Juvenile idiopathic arthritis JIA ; Gut microbiota; Nutrition; Autoimmunity; Rheumatic disease;

   Abstract : Background: The autoimmune disease juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children, but the cause is not fully established. Only a small percentage (13–18%) of the risk of contracting the disease can be attributed to genetic factors, but environmental factors are believed to be behind most of the risk. READ MORE

7. 10. The role of whole grains and lignans in lifestyle diseases : emphasis on prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes and their risk factors

   Author : Anne Kirstine Eriksen; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Whole grains are rich in dietary fibre and bioactive compounds and have consistently been associated to improved health and lower mortality. Whole-grain rye is rich in fermentable fibre and lignans, that are converted to enterodiol and enterolactone by the gut microbiota. READ MORE
