  2. 1. Metabolic Health and Cognitive Function : The Roles of Lifestyle and Shift Work

    Author : Olga E. Titova; Christian Benedict; Robert Fredriksson; Veronica Witte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cognitive function; Mediterranean diet; omega-3 fatty acids; MRI; shift work history; sleep; metabolic syndrome; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The risk of cognitive impairment and metabolic disturbances increases during aging. Healthy lifestyle habits, such as a regular intake of fatty fish and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MeDi), have been shown to slow age-related cognitive decline and decrease the risk of metabolic disturbances.

  4. 2. Metabolic disturbances in shift workers

    Author : Berndt Karlsson; Giovanni Costa; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : shift work; epidemiology; mortality; diabetes; stroke; coronary heart disease; obesity; triglycerides; HDL-cholesterol; insulin; glucose; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : An increased risk for coronary heart disease among shift workers is earlier shown in the epidemiological literature. The aim of this thesis has been to penetrate metabolic disturbances and obesity among shift workers compared to day workers, and to compare if there are differences in total mortality or cause specific mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes or ischaemic stroke in between the two groups.

  6. 4. Shift work and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Jonas Hermansson; Anders Knutsson; Berndt Karlsson; Katja Gillander Gådin; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Shift work; epidemiology; cardiovascular disease; stroke; case fatality;

    Abstract : Shift work is a work schedule being the opposite of normal daytime work, often defined as working time outside normal daytime hours (06:00 to 18:00). In recent years, shift work has been associated with an increased risk of numerous chronic conditions including for example cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, type II diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.

  7. 5. Metabolic Engineering of Synechocystis PCC 6803 for Butanol Production

    Author : Rui Miao; Peter Lindblad; Pia Lindberg; Felix Ho; Shota Atsumi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synechocystis PCC 6803; biofuel; isobutanol; 1-butanol; metabolic engineering; protein engineering; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : There is an urgent demand for renewable alternatives to fossil fuels since the extraction and utilization cause a series of environmental problems in the world. Thus, the utilization of solar energy has attracted much attention in the last decades since there is excess amount of light on Earth. READ MORE
