  1. 11. Implementation of a straightforward derivatizationmethod for the simultaneous analysis of short chainfatty acids and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolitesby LC-qToF-MS.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Renée Levisson; [2021]
    Keywords : Short-chain fatty acids; tricarboxylic acid TCA cycle; chemical derivatization; 3-nitrophenylhydrazine;

    Abstract : Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites aresmall hydrophilic compounds that play crucial roles in biological species ranging fromenergy metabolism, immune homeostasis to cellular signalling. There is a need for reliableand precise quantification of these metabolites in biological matrices as they can providecrucial information of metabolic status and potentially be used as diagnostic biomarkersfor different pathological and physiological conditions.

  3. 12. Gut microbiota and its importance in the development of obesity and insulin resistance

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Karolina Barton; [2021]
    Keywords : gut microbiota; obesity; insulin resistance;

    Abstract : Obesity and insulin resistance are significant predisposing causes of co-existing diseases such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, and several types of cancer. Global obesity prevalence continues to accelerate and now affects a high number of people. READ MORE

  4. 13. Mechanism of Formation of Soft Particles in Biodiesel Fuel Blends

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Roberta Maria Fiorenza; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The large environmental impact related to the use of fossil fuel has driven the shift toward renewable sourced alternatives. Fossil diesel can be nowadays replaced by biodiesel, obtained from vegetable oils and fats, mostly used as biodiesel blends. READ MORE

  5. 14. Development of a GC Method for the Quantification of Short Chain Carboxylic Acids in Aqueous Solution

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Anton Åkervall; [2020]
    Keywords : DAI-GC-FID; Direct Aqueous Injection; Gas Chromatography; Flame Ionization Detector; SCFA; Short Chain Fatty Acids; Formic Acid; Acetic Acid; Lactic Acid; EGR; Exhaust Gas Recirculation; CAC; Charged Air Cooler; FFD; Fractional Factorial Design;

    Abstract : Petroleum powered vehicles emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through combustion that contributes to the pollution of the environment. A technique in the 1970s was developed to decrease these emissions, especially for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphuric oxides (SOx) which is called exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). READ MORE

  6. 15. Investigating the potential of different dietary fibers to stimulate butyrate production in vitro

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Pierre Celestin Muragijeyezu; [2020]
    Keywords : dietary fibers; qPCR; SCFAs; suckling pigs; in vitro fermentation; butyrate producers; gut health;

    Abstract : The project aimed to evaluate the potential of dietary fiber types to stimulate butyrate production using an in vitro system simulating the gut of pigs. Fecal inoculum from suckling piglets were collected in two different periods and were used as inoculum to ferment ß-glucan, inulin and sucrose in two separated in vitro fermentation trials. READ MORE
