  1. 6. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  3. 7. Judging a loaf by its appearance : A protocol to study bread and bread-like fragments based on the study cases of Gamla Uppsala, Valsgärde, and Gnista

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

    Author : Sara Scaglia; [2023]
    Keywords : Bread; Organic charred remains; Uppland; Experimental archaeology; Archaeobotany; Lipid analyses.; Bröd; organiska förkolnade lämningar; Uppland; experimentell arkeologi; arkeobotanik; lipidanalyser;

    Abstract : Bread is an important cultural and social marker, and it occurs in many contexts, often preserved as carbonised. However, as bread fragments are typically small and anonymous, their total value of them is not appreciated. Often bread material is grouped simply as organic and not considered. READ MORE

  4. 8. Optimising microfluidic preparation of lipid sponge phase nanoparticles for biomolecule encapsulation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Owais Khalil; [2023]
    Keywords : Sponge phase; lipid nanoparticles; microfluidics; SAXS; cryo-TEM; DLS; chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Drug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. READ MORE

  5. 9. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
    Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

    Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.

  6. 10. Avenanthramides as a means to slow rancidity development in oats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Wing Tung Lo; [2022]
    Keywords : avenanthramides; rancidification; lipid oxidation; oats; antioxidants; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cereal grains are an important staple in many diets across the globe. Being one of the most cultivated cereal crops worldwide, especially in Nordic countries, oats are known to have a high dietary fibre content and a nutritional value that makes them highly beneficial for human health.
