2. 1. The Gut Bacterial Flora - Focus on Early Life and Physiological Traits

   Author : Caroline Linninge; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; atopic eczema; inflammation; bacterial diversity; Escherichia coli; Lactobacillus plantarum; molecular-genetic methods;

   Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract of the foetus is considered sterile but during vaginal birth the neonate comes into contact with bacteria from the maternal vaginal and intestinal microbiota. The main focus of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the initial bacterial ecosystem in newborns and to relate microbial perturbations to physiological traits. READ MORE

4. 2. Iodine intake and uptake in populations at risk for iodine deficiency

   Author : Sofia Manousou; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; iodine; pregnancy; lactation; bariatric surgery; urinary iodine concentration; thyroglobulin; breastmilk iodine concentration; iodine supplementation; Sweden;

   Abstract : Background: Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Both iodine deficiency (ID) and iodine excess may be harmful. Iodine intake in Sweden is considered adequate for the general population due to iodization of table salt since 1936 but data on pregnant and breastfeeding women (i.e. READ MORE

   Abstract : Obesity is a worldwide health issue affecting all ages and both sexes, and its prevalence is progressively increasing among adults and children. The predisposition to metabolic complications caused by obesity is sex dependent. READ MORE

6. 4. Perinatal essential fatty acid deficiency in mice: effects on metabolism and behaviour

   Author : Vilborg Palsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : essential fatty acids; perinatal period; maternal diet; diet-induced obesity; insulin resistance; lipids; behaviour;

   Abstract : Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and lactation influences the health of the adult offspring and an adequate supply of essential fatty acids is important for foetal and postnatal growth and development. The overall aim of this thesis was to study short- and long-term effects of perinatal essential fatty acid deficiency in mice on metabolism and behaviour. READ MORE

7. 5. Metabolic Significance of Systemic DHA Deficiency

   Author : Anna Maria Pauter; Anders Jacobsson; Bernadette Delplanque; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : Fatty acid composition in the body displays a high level of heterogeneity and can rapidly respond to changes in diet regime or to starvation. Homeostasis of the level of certain fatty acids is an important factor for maintenance of structural integrity as well as for proper signaling within the organism. READ MORE
