2. 11. Diet and gastrointestinal cancer : one-carbon metabolism and other aspects

   Author : Susanna C Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Diet has been hypothesized to play a major role in the etiology of gastrointestinal cancer, but the specific dietary factors involved remain unclear. The aims of this thesis were: to examine the associations of dietary magnesium and vitamin B6 intakes with risk of colorectal cancer in the Swedish Mammography Cohort (SMC); to evaluate the relation between folate intake and risk of pancreatic cancer in the SMC and the Cohort of Swedish Men (COSM); to use metaanalysis to summarize the evidence from published studies of the associations of folate intake and polymorphisms in the gene encoding 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), a central enzyme in one-carbon metabolism, with risk of esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer; and to perform a meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies of the relationship between processed meat consumption and risk of gastric cancer.

4. 12. Cholesterol-lowering properties of oats: Effects of processing and the role of oat components

   Author : Tina Immerstrand; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oats; oat β-glucan; cholesterol; mice;

   Abstract : The cholesterol-lowering effect of oats has been studied for almost fifty years. The effect has hitherto essentially been associated with its content of β-glucans, the primary soluble dietary fibre in oats. READ MORE

5. 13. An insight towards food-related microbial sets through metabolic modelling and functional analysis

   Author : Simonas Marcisauskas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RAVEN; gut; systems biology; comparative genomics; Kluyveromyces marxianus; bile acids; genome-scale metabolic model; next-generation sequencing; transcriptomics; thermotolerance;

   Abstract : The dietary food digestion depends on the human gastrointestinal tract, where host cells and gut microbes mutually interact. This interplay may also mediate host metabolism, as shown by microbial-derived secondary bile acids, needed for receptor signalling. Microbes are also crucial in the production of fermented foods, such as wine and dairy. READ MORE

6. 14. Cereal- and Microbial Phytases. Phytate Degradation, Mineral Binding and Absorption

   Author : Maria Türk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mineral binding; iron absorption; cereals; phytate degradation; phytase; dietary phytases; S cerevisiae; A niger;

   Abstract : Cereal foods contain large amounts of phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate; IP6), which is the major storage form of phosphorus, in the plant. IP6 possesses a high potential for chelating minerals, such as Fe 2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+. READ MORE
