  2. 1. Cardiac lipid storage and metabolism following myocardial ischemia

    Author : Christina Drevinge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipid accumulation; Myocardial Ischemia; Lipid droplets; Perilipin2; Perilipin5;

    Abstract : Myocardial ischemia is associated with cellular- and metabolic adjustments within the heart, including accumulation of lipids. Myocardial lipids are stored in cytosolic droplets, consisting of a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a complex surface containing proteins, such as perilipins. READ MORE

  4. 2. Coffee and gene interaction. The effect on methionine and lipid metabolism

    Author : Elisabeth Strandhagen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : coffee; homocysteine; cholesterol; folate; pyridoxine; MTHFR; APOE; gene; polymorphism; interaction;

    Abstract : Background: Different dietary factors influence the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), most likely in an interaction with genetic polymorphisms. The knowledge about such interactions is insufficient. Some observational studies have shown an association between coffee and CHD, others have not. Coffee consumption affects some CHD risk factors, e. READ MORE

  5. 3. A functional genomic investigation of an alternative life history strategy : The Alba polymorphism in Colias croceus

    Author : Alyssa Woronik; Christopher Wheat; Antonia Monteiro; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alternative life history strategy; butterfly wing color; Alba; Colias; color polymorphism; dimorphism; life history traits; physiology; lipidomics; genomics; pooled sequencing; phylogenomics; RNA-Seq; Pool-Seq; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Life history traits affect the timing and pattern of maturation, reproduction, and survival during an organism’s lifecycle and are the major components influencing Darwinian fitness. Co-evolved patterns of these traits are known as life history strategies (LHS) and variation occurs between individuals, populations, and species. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of hyperandrogenicity and the metabolic syndrome in premenopausal women

    Author : Fariba Baghaei; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : androgens; SHBG; HPA axis; abdominal obesity; insulin; HDL; metabolic syndrome; ovarian volume; PCOS; polymorphism; genetics; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; aromatase;

    Abstract : An androgenic sex hormone profile appears to be a typical feature of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and a powerful risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes in women. The causes of relative hyperandrogenicity (HA) are not clearly defined. READ MORE

  7. 5. Milk Genomics – Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Bovine Milk Composition and Processability

    Author : Maria Glantz; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; milk genomics; bovine milk; milk composition; technological properties; processability; cheese; quantitative genetic evaluation; single gene effect; genomic selection; genetic polymorphism; leptin; direct genomic value;

    Abstract : Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. READ MORE
