1. 11. Anthocyanins and their effects on blood pressure

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

   Author : Martina Christerson; [2016]
   Keywords : anthocyanidins; anthocyanins; cardiovascular health; hypertension; blood pressure; NO;

   Abstract : Flavonoids, naturally occurring secondary metabolites in plants, have been associated with positive effects on high blood pressure (hypertension) which is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Anthocyanins, a subgroup of flavonoids, have in more recent years gained particular attention for its effects on blood pressure. READ MORE

3. 12. Construction and Optimization of an Apparatus for Detection of Nitric Oxide through Faraday Modulation Spectroscopy

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Oskar Tengberg; [2015]
   Keywords : laser; spectroscopy; nitric; nitrogen; oxide; monoxide; faraday; modulation;

   Abstract : Faraday modulation spectroscopy (FAMOS) is a technique for detection of paramagnetic molecules. By applying a magnetic field over a gaseous sample, the presence of paramagnetic species will rotate the polarization plane of light, addressing a transition in such a species. READ MORE

4. 13. Effects of treatment with PiNO (Pulsed Inhaled Nitric-Oxide) on the metabolism in colic horses undergoing abdominal surgery.

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Izabella Granswed; [2014]
   Keywords : Equine metabolism; anaesthesia; Pulsed Inhaled Nitric-Oxide; PiNO; horses; colic;

   Abstract : The main objective of this research was to study how increased arterial oxygenation by the use of Pulsed Inhaled Nitric-Oxide (PiNO) influenced the metabolic and cardiovascular parameters on horses undergoing acute abdominal surgery because of colic. The parameters blood lactate, blood glucose, pH and heart rate were evaluated before and during anesthesia and closely after recovery. READ MORE

5. 14. Pulsed inhaled Nitric Oxide - a possible way to treat hypoxemia in colic horses during abdominal surgery

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Maja Wiklund; [2014]
   Keywords : Pulsed inhaled nitric oxide; equine; colic; surgery; anaesthesia;

   Abstract : The aim of the present study was to evaluate if pulsed inhaled nitric oxide (PiNO) could be used as a treatment for hypoxemia during general anaesthesia in colic horses. Previous studies have shown a positive response in horses receiving PiNO in comparison to controls, but these studies have only included healthy individuals. READ MORE

6. 15. Effect of Antibacterial Mouthwash on Basal Metabolic Rate in Humans : A Randomized, Double-blinded, Cross-over Study

   University essay from Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

   Author : Blenda Agell; [2013]
   Keywords : nitrate; nitrite; nitric oxide; basal metabolic rate; antibacterial mouthwash; mitochondrial efficiency;

   Abstract : The use of mouthwash is a common complement to oral care. However, the physiological implication of this use, besides of effects on oral hygiene, is poorly known. The research of the gut micro flora and its implications on the host is a very active area of research today. READ MORE
