  2. 1. Development of a Process for Reducing the Content of b-N-Oxalyl a,b-Diamino Propionic Acid (b-ODAP) in Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus) Seeds: Nutritional Consequences and Technological Aspects

    Author : Girma Akalu; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; process optimization; functional properties; biological value; net protein utilization; starch digestibility; protein digestibility; Grass pea Lathyrus sativus ; b-ODAP; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous food crop, grown mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has valuable nutrients, however consumption of the seeds is reported to cause lathyrism, due to the presence of a non-protein amino acid (?-ODAP). READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy expenditure and substrate utilization during critical illness

    Author : Martin Sundström Rehal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Critical illness leads to major alterations in metabolism. The net result is a state where catabolism predominates over anabolism. The associated loss of lean body mass is significant and potentially harmful. It is commonly held that providing calories and protein from nutrition may attenuate this response. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microfluidic electrocapture technology in protein and peptide analysis

    Author : Juan Astorga-Wells; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : After sequencing the genomes of several organisms, science in the postgenomic era now aims at a thorough study of the proteins present in a given tissue or organism. Since this task requires an enormous analytical effort, integrated microfluidic systems are envisioned as the solution to automated high throughput analysis of biomolecules. READ MORE

  6. 4. Skeletal muscle metabolic flexibility : the roles of AMP-activated protein kinase and calcineurin

    Author : Yun Chau Long; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; metabolism; glucose; lipid; gene expression; AMP-activated protein kinase; calcineurin; exercise;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle fibers differ considerably in their metabolic and physiological properties. The metabolic properties of skeletal muscle display a high degree of flexibility which adapts to various physiological demands by shifting energy substrate metabolism. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on the coiled-coil protein TlpA in salmonella : a thermosensing transcription autoregulator

    Author : Reini Hurme; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : coiled-coilgene regulationrepressorthermoregulationSalmonella;

    Abstract : The coiled-coil motif is composed of amino acid heptad repeats with hydrophobic or apolar residues at conserved positions. Such repeats are responsible for the apolar stripe that is buried inside the coiled-coil structure formed upon coiling of two (or more) alpha-helical chains about each other. READ MORE
