Investigation of Ring-Openings of Some gem-Dichlorocyclopropanes
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-29)The main purpose of this thesis was to study ring-openings of gem-dichlorocyclopropanes under basic conditions and the formation of acetylenic acetals. Therefore, several 2-alkoxy-1,1-dichlorocyclopropanes were synthesized ... -
Investigation of the Physiological Function of Protein Phosphatase 4 (PP4) in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-14)Protein Phosphatase 4 (PP4), a member of serine/threonine-specific phospho-protein phosphatases (PPP) family, is remarkably well conserved across eukaryotes. PP4 has been studied mainly in yeast and mammalian cells, and ... -
Isoterm varmebehandling Listeria innocua i kappilærrør
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)Utgangspunktet for denne masteroppgaven var å skaffe kunnskap om Listeria monocytogenes-surrogaten Listeria innocua, og dens varmeinnaktiveringskinetikk med hensyn på kvalitet og matsikkerhet i pasteuriserte fiskeprodukter. ... -
Matkvalitet på norske brunalger, med fokus på butare (Alaria esculenta) og sukkertare (Saccharina latissima)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)I denne masteroppgaven ble Alaria esculenta (butare) og Saccharina latissima (sukkertare) undersøkt for overordnet kvalitet, med vekt på mikrobiologi, farge og tekstur. Algene ble dyrket og høstet på Værlandet-Bulandet ... -
Mechanisms of TRP-channel mediated dopaminergic degeneration in C. elegans
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)One of the most common manifestations of dopaminergic degeneration in humans is in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Although dopaminergic degeneration affects a significant portion of the aging population, the pathways and ... -
Metabolic Assessment of Metformin Treatment in Colon Cancer Cells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-01)Resistance against traditional chemotherapy is a challenge in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). The use of metformin, a commonly prescribed biguanide anti-diabetic drug, has shown to correlate with cancer preventive ... -
Metabolic assessment of metformin treatment in the colon cancer cell line SW1116.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-02)Cancers have different metabolic profiles, with varying dependency on glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The metabolic profile of cancer influences it sensitivity to treatments. Metformin, an ... -
