  1. 1. Algae and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Författare :Louise Lundquist; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Algae; polyunsaturated fatty acids; EPA; DHA; omega-3;

    Sammanfattning : The human body cannot produce enough amounts of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), on its own, to sustain the biological functions they have. Consuming essential fatty acids is fundamental for well-functioning bodily processes. The essential fatty acids are linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid production by microalgae

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Författare :Ida Collinius; [2016]
    Nyckelord :micro algae; LC-PUFA; eicosanoids;

    Sammanfattning : Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are essential to humans and needs to be consumed through the diet instead of production in the body. LC-PUFAs are in this report be categorized into omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The aim of this study was to focus on LC-PUFAs that can be produced by species of microalgae of commercial interests.

  4. 3. How nutritional aspects can affect immune mediated inflammatory diseases

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Författare :Sohail Ehsanzamir; [2016]
    Nyckelord :chronic; inflammation; omega- 6; trans fatty acids; gluten; obesity; casein; biomarker; dairy; flavonoid; fruits; vegetables; carbohydrates;

    Sammanfattning : Low- grade inflammation is a state where the immune system is chronically active and it is a major cause of various diseases such as type 1 diabetes, schizophrenia, different cardiovascular diseases and cancers. The diet, what we eat and the load of it plays an important role in the prevalence of those disease. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :fish oil; psoriasis;

    Sammanfattning : Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg Department of internal medicine and clinical nutrition Abstract Title: Can regular oral supplementation of fish oils improve symptoms in psoriasis? Authors: Louise Miller-Malm and Nicole Pitulia Supervisor: Lena Hulthén Examiner: Anna Winkvist Programme: Dietician study programme, 180/240 ECTS Type of paper: Examination paper, 15 ECTS Date: April 11, 2012 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background: Psoriasis is a chronic hereditary inflammatory disease that can affect both the skin and joints, and affects 2-3 % of the world‟s population. It presents with red and inflamed thick skin that has flaky silver-white patches, and 60% of those who suffer from it report it to be a large problem in their everyday life. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Tissue distribution of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in salmon fish (Salmo salar L.)

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Författare :Carlota Gimeno Zafón; [2013]
    Nyckelord :PPAR; Atlantic salmon; fatty acid; PCR; ; qPCR; ; RT-PCR;

    Sammanfattning : Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors (PPARs) are ligand-inducible transcription factors, that can be activated by both dietary fatty acids and their metabolic derivates in the body, as by eicosanoids, hypolipidemic agents or antidiabetic drugs. To date three PPAR isotypes have been identified in mammals, birds, and amphibians, termed PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARβ/δ. LÄS MER
