  2. 1. Mathematical modeling in precision nutrition

    Author : Viktor Skantze; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Personalized nutrition; precision nutrition; differential responders; metabotypes;

    Abstract : Precision nutrition (PN) aims to tailor diets for individuals or groups based on comprehensive data to improve prevention of diseases, such as cardiometabolic diseases. Predicting individual postprandial metabolic responses and identifying individuals with similar metabolic phenotypes (metabotypes) could guide tailored diet strategies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Children and their parents' experiences of mealtimes when the child lives with a gastrostomy tube

    Author : Ulrika Mårtensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Children; Gastrostomy tube; Mealtime situations; Nursing; Nutrition;

    Abstract : Oncology treatments and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) commonly contribute to side effects which influence the child’s ability to eat and thus cause meals to be stressful. Bodily dysfunctions linked to the disability may cause long-lasting feeding difficulties in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 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.

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) regulates nutrient uptake, secretes hormones and has a crucial gut flora and enteric nervous system. Of relevance for these functions are the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the solute carriers (SLCs). READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on energy metabolism and body composition of healthy women before, during and after pregnancy

    Author : Marie Löf; Lena Hulthén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Current recommendations propose that an entire pregnancy requires an additional amount of energy from the diet equivalent to 335 000 kJ. This figure is mainly based on increases in the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and retention of total body fat (TBF). READ MORE
