  1. 1. Quantification of Fatty Acid Composition in Short T2* Tissue Using MRI – Comparison of 3 T and 7 T

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Felix Månsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Purpose: To optimize a method and develop an algorithm to quantify Fatty Acid Composition (FAC) in bone marrow adipose tissue. By using different reconstruction models, compare different MRI systems (3 T and 7 T) to find the optimal field strength and reconstruction model for FAC quantification. READ MORE

  3. 2. Quality parameters and protein profile in raw milk from individual cows with different lactation number and breed

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Jennifer Hallqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Raw milk quality; protein profile; actation number; Swedish Red; Swedish Holstein;

    Abstract : Swedish dairy cows have an average life expectancy of 5 years, which means that each cow undergoes about 2.5 lactation cycles through her life. Reasons for culling dairy cows are mainly impaired fertility, udder health (mastitis) and low milk yield. READ MORE

  4. 3. Voxel-wise Longitudinal Analysis of Weight Gain from Different Dietary Fats using Image Registration-Based "Imiomics" Analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

    Author : Vendela Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Image registration; Imiomics; Radiology; Magnetic Resonance Imaging;

    Abstract : There is an emerging global epidemic of obesity and related complications, such as type 2diabetes (T2D). Alterations in body composition (adipose tissue, muscle volume and fatcontents) are known to be associated with an increased metabolic risk. Understanding of theunderlying mechanisms is key for development of novel intervention strategies. READ MORE

  5. 4. Is omega-3 from algae a good substitute to fish oil – in human nutrition?

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Maria Pia Karlsson Rattenni; [2022]
    Keywords : omega-3; EPA; DHA; algae oil; fish oil; fish oil substitute; PUFA; LC-PUFA; human nutrition; health benefits; algae as n-3 source;

    Abstract : Polyunsaturated fatty acids have been proven to be important for human health, especially the omega 3 and 6. Humans cannot synthesise these fatty acids by themselves and need therefore to get them from external sources. Omega-6 is found in many different foods, such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and vegetable oils. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.
