  2. 1. Free oligosaccharides and glycosylation of bile salt-stimulated lipase in human milk

    Author : Eva Landberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) is a glycosylated protein present in milk at a concentration of 100-200 mg/L. It is an enzyme important for fat digestion in the newborn infant. The protein backbone contains one possible site for N-glyeosylation and several sites for 0-glyeosylation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Expression and post-translational modification of purple acid phosphatase in insect and mammalian cells

    Author : Yunling Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Purple acid phosphatase (PAP) is an acidic metallohydrolase that contain a binuclear iron center in its active site. In mammals, this enzyme is also referred to as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPs), uteroferrin or type 5 acid phosphatase. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigating mucin interactions with diverse surfaces for biomedical applications

    Author : Georgia Petrou; Thomas Crouzier; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucus; mucin; protein adsorption; biomaterials; lubrication; mucoadhesion; 4RepCT; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Mucous membranes are covered with mucus, a viscoelastic hydrogel that plays an essential role in their protection from shear and pathogens. The viscoelasticity of mucus is owing to mucins, a group of densely glycosylated proteins. READ MORE

  6. 4. Barley- and Legume Products Beneficially Affect Metabolic Responses and Appetite Regulation

    Author : Elin Johansson; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The role of dietary fibre (DF) in disease prevention has been extensively investigated and prospective studies observed that increased DF intake decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), reduced the risk of weight gain as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Also a diet characterized by low glycaemic index (GI) has been shown to reduce the risk of T2D and CVD. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biogas from agricultural waste : Turning unavailable residues into accessible resources

    Author : Mirjam Victorin; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biogas; Straw; Manure; Pretreatment; Process design;

    Abstract : Moving from a fossil dependent to a fossil free economy requires increased energy production from renewable resources. This thesis discusses the utilization of agricultural waste streams, such as straw and manure, for biogas production. READ MORE
