  1. 1. The potential of the microbiome and inflammatory markers in the faeces of dogs with GI disorders

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malte Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Gut microbiota; dog; diets; calprotectin; dysbiosis; gastrointestinal disease;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota greatly affects host health. It can hinder the growth of pathogenic bacteria, decrease intestinal wall permeability, modulate the immune system, and provide nutrients for enterocytes. However, an imbalance of the gut microbiota to the point of dysbiosis can cause both acute, and in time, chronic GI disorders. READ MORE

  5. 4. Tracing late Holocene changes in lake-water total organic carbon : A multi-proxy approach based on sediment bio-geochemistry and a faecal biomarker

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Sofia Jonsson; [2015]
    Keywords : lake-water TOC; faecal biomarkers; Pyrolysis GC MS; forest grazing;

    Abstract : Long-term dynamics of lake-water total organic carbon (LW-TOC) concentrations in freshwater lakes provide an important perspective on the recent increases in LW-TOC observed in many of these systems and may assist with the identification of natural and anthropogenic drivers of change. This study examines how LW-TOC in Dragsjön, a lake situated in an area with a long history of anthropogenic land use, has changed in response to natural and anthropogenic perturbations throughout the Holocene.
