    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Jonas Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Gut brain axis; Major depressive disorder; Probiotics; G ut microbiota; low grade inflammation; Tryptophan;

    Abstract : Major depressive disorder (MDD) is rapidly growing and one of the most common causes of disability and mortality worldwide. People with MDD often display brain changes such as adisrupted balance in neurotransmitters, impaired neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. Traditionally has MDD been treated with medications and talking therapies (psychotherapy). READ MORE

  5. 4. A1M, Hb and tryptophan metabolism in R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Sylvia Karlberg; [2012]
    Keywords : Huntington s Disease; kynurenine; tryptophan metabolism; A1M; Alpha-1-microglobulin; hemoglobin; neurology; neurobiology; neurochemistry; immune system; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurotoxic metabolites generated from tryptophan metabolism are increasingly regarded as a pathogenic mechanism in neurological and psychiatric disease including Huntington’s disease (HD). Specifically, the tryptophan-derived neurotoxin 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) accumulates in HD brain and is capable of damaging neurons through excessive ROS-production and oxidative stress. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effekter på den fysiska aktiviteten, motivationen och koncentrationen vid negativ energibalans

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Laura Pulkkinen ; [2012]
    Keywords : energimetabolism; energibehov; anabolism; katabolism; negativ energibalans; glukoneogenes; ketogenes; lipolys; indirekt kalorimetri; direkt kalorimetri; serotonin; ansträngning; motivation; koncentration;

    Abstract : Negativ energibalans och fysisk aktivitet resulterar båda i ett skifte i energianvändningen i kroppen. Vid nega- tiv energibalans delas detta skifte in i tre faser där den första fasen karaktäriseras av en ökad glukoneogenes, lipolys och ketogenes; den andra fasen av en acceleration av dessa processer; och den tredje fasen av en häm- ning av glukoneogenesen.
