    Author : Lieve T. van Egmond; Christian Benedict; Veronica Witte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; nutrition; metabolism; sleep deprivation; sex differences; weight differences; obesity; cognition; mediterranean diet; brain health; social evaluation; night work; occupational performance; emotion; vigilance; energy balance; diet; elderly; Fysiologi; Physiology; Nutrition; Nutrition; Neurology; Neurologi; Psychiatry; Psykiatri; Geriatrics; Geriatrik; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Night work is vital for maintaining our 24/7 society; however, in the long run, it may have adverse health consequences like obesity and Alzheimer’s disease. By performing one of the most extensive experimental in-laboratory studies to date, I sought to investigate how sleep deprivation impacts important features like how a person responds to others and how well a person can sustain attention and wakefulness during simulated night work.

  4. 2. Bioactive Carbohydrates in Vining Peas (Pisum sativum) - Variation in alpha-galactoside content and the colonic fermentation of sugar alcohols

    Author : Jimmy Ekvall; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-galactosides; raffinose family oligosaccharides; Näringslära; Nutrition; short-chain fatty acids; colonic fermentation; myo-inositol; sorbitol; xylitol; sugar alcohols; blanching; maturity; cultivar; Pisum sativum;

    Abstract : The composition of the colonic microflora is essential for the health of the human host. To be able to survive, the microflora is dependent of a continuous supply of substrate. In this respect dietary fibre and other indigestible carbohydrates, of which the consumption in affluent societies is generally low, are of great importance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Formation of carboxylic acids in rats and humans given indigestible carbohydrates Effects of monomeric composition, solubility, molecular weight and probiotics

    Author : Ulf Nilsson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carboxylic acids; Short-chain fatty acids; Fructo-oligosaccharides; Prebiotics; Probiotics; Näringslära; Nutrition;

    Abstract : There is increasing evidence that fermentation in the large intestine is important for health, and that health-promoting effects are mediated by fermentation products such as butyric and propionic acid. As the formation of carboxylic acids (CAs) from various carbohydrates reaching the colon has been shown to vary, it is of great interest to identify food factors that could be of importance to this process.
