Den här boken tar ett omfattande grepp om frågor som rör homo, bi, trans, queer och en rad andra identitetskategorier som alla relaterar till sexualitet, relationsbildning, kön och könsuttryck i boken samlade under akronymen hbtq+. Trots en positiv utveckling i samhället leder minoritetsstress fortfarande till ökad ohälsa hos hbtq+-personer, och kunskapsluckorna är stora inom samhälls- och vårdins

The l,3‐ß‐glucan synthase (callose synthase, EC 2.4.1.34) was solubilized from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) plasma membranes with digitonin, and partially purified by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration [fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC)] using 3‐[(cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]‐1‐propane‐sulfonate (CHAPS) in the elution buffers. These initial steps were necessary to obt

In plants, cells differentiate according to their position with relation to their cell neighbours. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) probes to polysaccharide epitopes, present at the surfaces of all plant cells, have defined a family of proteoglycan antigens which signify cellular position. These MAbs have been used to sort the single cells present in carrot somatic cell cultures on the basis of the prese

Plasma membrane vesicles of high purity were isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves by aqueous polymer 2-phase partition and analyzed with respect to their protein organization. This was done by Triton X-114 fractionation which separates integral, hydrophobic, membrane-spanning proteins from peripheral, hydrophilic membrane proteins. About 80% of the proteins were recovered in the hydrop

A method for resolving plasma membrane associated arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) has been developed. Plasma membranes purified by aqueous polymer two‐phase partitioning were first subjected to Triton X‐114 fractionation. The resulting water phase contained all detectable plasma membrane‐bound AGPs. Plasma membrane AGPs were then resolved in an SDS‐agarose gel electrophoresis system (SDS‐AGE). For

To assess the role of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) in the digestion of polyunsaturated ester bonds of triacylglycerols, hydrolysis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n-3)) ester bonds was compared to that of oleic acid (18:1(n-9)) or arachidonic acid (20:4(n-6)) esters. As model substrates, we used rat chylomicrons obtained after feeding human milk fat globules and radiolabeled fatty aTo assess the role of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) in the digestion of polyunsaturated ester bonds of triacylglycerols, hydrolysis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n − 3)) ester bonds was compared to that of oleic acid (18:1(n − 9)) or arachidonic acid (20:4(n − 6)) esters.

Long-chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fatty acids derived from linoleic (18:2 n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 n-3) acids are considered essential nutrients in preterm infants. The efficiency by which such fatty acids are released as absorbable products from triacylglycerol was explored in vitro using rat chylomicron triacylglycerol as substrate.

Fish oil chylomicrons, obtained from mesenteric duct chyle of rats fed [3H]20:5 and [14C]20:4 or [3H]20:5 and [14C]18:2 in a fish oil emulsion, were incubated with human pancreatic lipase-colipase, human carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) and human duodenal contents. With duodenal contents, the triacylglycerols labelled with [3H]20:5 and [14C]20:4 were rapidly converted to free fatty acids (FFA) and mono

What can the monastic movement teach contemporary society about the good life.

Background The Meta-Analysis of Radiotherapy in squamous cell Carcinomas of Head and neck (MARCH) showed that altered fractionation radiotherapy is associated with improved overall and progression-free survival compared with conventional radiotherapy, with hyperfractionated radiotherapy showing the greatest benefit. This update aims to confirm and explain the superiority of hyperfractionated radio

Because of the potential mutagenic effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, there is concern regarding increased risk of congenital malformations (CMs) among children of fathers with cancer. Previous register studies indicate increased CM risk among children conceived after paternal cancer but lack data on oncological treatment. Increased CM risk was recently reported in children born before paternal c
