Vliv vybraných potravin na hladinu glykémieHabánová, Veronika January 2017 (has links)
The thesis deals with the measurement of glucose levels at regular intervals in a selected group of volunteers after the consumption of breakfast cereals in combination with milk products. The theoretical part is devoted to the basic components of the diet and their digestion and metabolism. It also deals with the regulation of blood glucose level, methods for measuring glycemia, disorders related to metabolism of carbohydrates and the concepts of the glycemic index, glycemic load. The aim of the practical part was to find out how your chosen breakfast cereal in combination with dairy products have an effect on blood glucose levels in a selected group of volunteers. 16 students of the Mendel university in Brno were attended the experimental measurements. The students measured on the InBody, in order to determine composition of the human body. The level of blood glucose was always measured in time 0 (fasting), 60, 90 and 120 minutes from the beginning of the consumption of the food. Statistically significant difference was shown from measured values of blood glucose in 60. and 90. minute between the glucose solution, and breakfast cereals (P < 0.05).

Uticaj tretmana akrilamidom na endokrini pankreas pacova / Effect of acrylamide treatment on endocrine pancreas of the ratsStošić Milena 22 June 2018 (has links)
<p>Akrilamid je toksična hemijska supst anca koja je već dugi niz godina prisutna u životnoj sredini, jer se kao važan monomer koristi u različite industrijske i laboratorijske svrhe. U poslednjih petnaest godina, akrilamid je postao posebno zanimljiv za šire naučne krugove jer se pokazalo da se nalazi i u hrani biljnog porekla, posebno hrani bogatoj skrobom, koja se priprema pečenjem ili prženjem na temperaturama višim od 120°C. Do sada ustanovljeni negativni zdravstveni efekti akrilamida su veoma raznovrsni i mogu biti rezultat delovanja samog akrilamida ili delovanja njegovog metabolita glicidamida koji nastaje in vivo kada se jedan deo molekula akrilamida metaboliše oksigenacijom dvostruke veze pomoću enzima citohrom P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). Akrilamid je supstanca koja ima dokazan negativan efekat na organske sisteme kod ljudi i životinja, i koja je svrstana u moguće humane karcinogene. Negativan efekat akrilamida na egzokrini pankreas je poznat, ali o mogućim efektima akrilamida na endokrini pankreas se i dalje veoma malo zna. Ima puno dokaza koji ukazuju na to da akrilamid ima citotoksični efekat koji se manifestuje kroz uticaj na redoks-status ćelija i dovodi do promena u vrednostima biomarkera oksidativnog i nitrozativnog stresa, kao i u aktivnosti antioksidativnih enzima. Pankreas je jedan od ciljnih organa za delovanje akrilamida te je glavni predmet istraživanja doktorske teze bio proučavanje potencijalnog efekta akrilamida na endokrini pankreas pacova. Ispitivanje je vršeno na 3 eksperimentalne grupe juvenilnih mužjaka pacova soja Wistar, od kojih je jedna grupa bila kontrolna, dok su dve bile tretirane sa akrilamidom u dozama od 25 mg/kg tm i 50 mg/kg tm, 5 dana nedeljno, tokom 3 nedelje. Po isteku tretmana, nakon dekapitacije, kompletno tkivo pankreasa je fiksirano u 10% rastvoru formalina tokom 24 h i obrađeno prema standardnoj proceduri za kalupljenje u parafinu. Parafinski kalupi su sečeni na serijske preseke debljine 5 µm, nakon čega su bojeni histohemijskom i imunohistohemijskim metodama. Kod eksperimentalnih grupa posmatrane su histološke promene na endokrinom pankreasu, sa akcentom na α- i β-ćelije. Takođe, posmatrana je i ekspresija hormona insulina i glukagona, enzima inducibilne azot -oksi d sintetaze (iNOS) i CYP2E1, kao i ekspresija antioksidativnih enzima katalaza (CAT) i superoksid dismut aza 1 i 2 (SOD1 i SOD2) u ćelijama Langerhansovih ostrvaca. Potencijalna promena u funkcionalnosti β-ćelija je ispitana i kroz analizu nivoa glukoze u serumu pacova tretiranih sa akrilamidom.<br />Budući da β-ćelije čine 80% ćelija koje grade Langerhansova ostrvca pankreasa, pored in vivo eksperimenata, ispitana je i toksičnost akrilamida na Rin-5F ćelijsku liniju insulinoma β-ćelija pacova u in vitro uslovima. Glavni cilj in vitro istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj rastućih koncentracija akrilamida na preživljavanje tretiranih Rin-5F ćelija, ali i efekat IC<sub>50</sub> koncentracije ove supstance primenjene tokom različitih vremenskih intervala (0,5, 1, 3, 6, 12 i 24 h) na pojavu oksidativnog i nitrozativnog stresa. Redoks-status Rin-5F ćelija tretiranih sa akrilamidom je ispitan preko analize prisustva biomarkera oksidativnog i nitrozativnog stresa, akrivnosti CAT i ukupne SOD, kao i promene u ekspresiji gena za CAT, SOD1, SOD2 i iNOS. Pored toga, analiziran je i efekat istog tretmana na ekspresiju gena za insulin, CYP2E1, Bax i Bcl-2. U okviru teze je pokazano da akrilamid ne dovodi do značajnih promena u histološkoj građi, dijametru i broju Langerhansovih ostrvaca kod tretiranih životinja. Primena stereoloških metoda je ukazala na mikrostrukturne promene na endokrinom pankreasu na nivou α- i β-ćelija. U ovoj tezi je po prvi put pokazano da tretman akrilamidom negativno utiče na broj i površinu β-ćelija pankreasa. U tezi je, takođe, pokazan značajan dozno-zavisni pad u prisustvu insulina u β-ćelijama pankreasa. Uprkos tome, kod akrilamidom tretiranih životinja nije konstatovana promena u koncentraciji serumske glukoze. U ovoj tezi je pokazano da tretman akrilamidom dovodi do statistički značajnog porasta u broju α-ćelija kod životinja koje su primale nižu dozu tretmana, dok se broj α-ćelija kod životinja koje su primale višu dozu tretmana ne razlikuje značajno od kontrole. Tretman akrilamidom je doveo do značajnog porasta u količini prisutnog glukagona u α-ćelijama pankreasa.<br />Tretman akrilamidom nije doveo do značajne promene u ekspresiji CAT, SOD1 i SOD2 u ćelijama Langerhansovih ostrvaca. Kod tretiranih životinja došlo do značajnog dozno-zavisnog porasta u ekspresiji enzima iNOS, dok je ekspresija CYP2E1 značajno dozno-zavisno opala nakon tretmana. U tezi je pokazano da tretman akrilamidom negativno utiče na vijabilnost Rin-5F ćelija, i utvrđeno je da IC50 koncentracija akrilamida za Rin-5F ćelije iznosi 10 mM. Rezultati teze pokazuju da tretman akrilamidom u IC<sub>50</sub> koncentraciji u Rin-5F ćelijskoj liniji značajno povećava nivo malondialdehida (MDA) nakon tretmana u trajanju od 1, 12 i 24 h. Isti tretman značajno smanjuje nivo redukovanog GSH nakon tretmana od 1, 3, 6, 12 i<br />24 h, kao i nivo slobodnih –SH grupa nakon tretmana od 3 i 6 h. Tretman akrilamidom u IC<sub>50 </sub> koncentraciji signifikantno pojačava aktivnost CAT nakon tretmana od 1 h, dok tretman u trajanju od 12 h značajno smanjuje aktivnost ovog enzima. Ovaj tretman smanjuje aktivnost SOD nakon 1, 12 i 24 h, dok tretman u trajanju od 6 h značajno pojačava aktivnost enzima SOD. U tezi je, takođe, pokazan i veoma značajan porast u nivou prisutnih nitrita, koji je direktno proporcionalan sa nivoom azot-oksida i nivoom akivnosti enzima iNOS. Ovaj nalaz ukazuje na potencijalnu pojavu nitrozati vnog stresa u akrilamidom-tretiranim Rin-5F ćelijama. U tezi je po prvi put pokazano da tretman akrilamidom dovodi do značajnih varijacija u transkripciji gena za iNOS, SOD1, SOD2, CAT, CYP2E1, Bax i Bcl-2 u tretiranim Rin-5F ćelijama, dok isti tretman ne dovodi do promene nivoa transkripcije gena za insulin. Tretman akrilamidom u koncentraciji od 10<br />mM tokom rastućih vremenskih perioda dovodi do porasta u relativnoj količini iRNK<br />gena za iNOS u svim tačkama tretmana, do porasta nivoa iRNK za SOD1 i SOD2 nakon tretmana od 12 i 24 h, kao i do porasta količine iRNK za CAT nakon tretmana od 3 h. U tezi je pokazano i da akrilamid izaziva promene u sintezi iRNK za enzim CYP2E1 koji je posebno značajan u kontekstu detoksikacije ove toksične supstance. Porast u transkripciji gena za CYP2E1 je uočen nakon tretmana u trajanju od 0,5 i 1 h, dok je do smanjenja transkripcije došlo nakon tretmana od 12 i 24 h. Tretman akrilamidom u koncentraciji od 10 mM tokom rastućih vremenskih perioda dovodi do porasta u relativnoj količini iRNK gena za Bax u svim tačkama tretmana, i do porasta u transkripciji gena za Bcl-2 nakon tretmana od 0,5, 1 i 3 h.<br />Sumirajući sve rezultate ove teze, moze se zaključiti da je endokrini pankreas jedno od ciljnih tkiva, na koje akrilamid ostvaruje višestruki negativni uticaj.</p> / <p>Acrylamide is a toxic chemical used as an important monomer for various industrial and laboratory purposes, which makes it highly present in the environment. In the last fifteen years, acrylamide has become especially interesting for wider scientific circles when it was found in staple foodstuff rich in starch, prepared at temperatures higher than 120°C. The established negative health effects of acrylamide are very diverse and can be the result of the acrylamide action itself or the action of its metabolite glycidamide that occurs in vivo, when acrylamide molecule is metabolized via oxygenation of the double bond by the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). Acrylamide is a substance with a proven adverse effect on humans and animals, and it is classified as a possible human carcinogen. The negative effect of acrylamide on the exocrine pancreas has already been recognized, but the possible effects of acrylamide on endocrine pancreas are still mostly undetermined. There is a significant amount of evidence to suggest that acrylamide exerts a cytotoxic effect which manifests through the changes in level of oxidative and nitrosative stress biomarkers, as well as in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Since, pancreas is one of the target organs for acrylamide, the main subject of doctoral thesis was to investigate the potential effect of acrylamide on the rat endocrine pancreas. The investigation was conducted on 3 experimental groups of juvenile male Wistar rats, of which one group was the control group, while two groups were treated with acrylamide at doses of 25 mg/kg bw and 50 mg/kg bw, 5 days a week, during 3 weeks. After termination of the treatment, decapitation was performed, and the complete pancreatic tissue was fixed in a 10% formalin solution for 24 h and treated according to the standard paraffin embedding procedure. Paraffin molds were cut into 5 μm thick serial sections, after which they were stained with histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. Histological changes ofthe endocrine pancreas, with the emphasis on α- and β-cells, were examined in three experimental groups of rats. In addition, the expression of insulin and glucagon hormone, the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CYP2E1 enzymes, and the expression of antioxidative enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutases 1 and 2 (SOD1 and SOD2) in the islets of Langerhans were also investigated. A potential change in the functionality of β-cells was also examined by analyzing glucose level in the serum of rats treated with acrylamide. In pancreatic islets of Langerhans the majority of cells (>80%) are β-cells. Therefore, in addition to in vivo experiments, the toxicity of acrylamide was examined in vitro on rat insulinoma Rin-5F cell line.The main goal of in vitro research was to investigate the impact of increasing acrylamide concentrations on the viability of treated Rin-5F cells, and also to examine whether IC50 concentration of this substance, applied at different intervals of time (0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h), induce oxidative and nitrosative stress. Redox-status of Rin-5F cells treated with acrylamide was examined by analyzing oxidative and nitrosative stress biomarkers, CAT and total SOD activity, as well as changes in the expression of the CAT, SOD1, SOD2 and iNOS. In addition, the effect of the same treatment on the transcription of the insulin, CYP2E1, Bax and Bcl-2 gene was analyzed.The results of the thesis showed that acrylamide treatment does not lead to significant changes in the histological structure, diameter and number of islets of Langerhans of treated animals. Application of stereological methods indicated microstructural changes of α- and β-cells ofendocrine pancreas. It has been shown for the first time that treatment with acrylamide negatively affects the number and surface area of pancreatic β-cells. In addition, a significant dose-dependent decline in the amount of insulin in pancreatic β-cells was also demonstrated. However, no change in serum glucose level was observed in treated animals. Acrylamide treatment led to a statistically significant increase in the number of α-cells in animals receiving a lower dose of treatment, while the number of α-cells in animals receiving a higher dose of treatment did not differ significantly from the control. Treatment with acrylamide led to a significant increase in the amount of the glucagon in α-cells. Treatment with acrylamide did not cause a significant change in the expression of CAT, SOD1 and SOD2 in islets of Langerhans. However, there was a significant dosedependent increase in the expression of iNOS enzyme, whereas expression of CYP2E1 significantly decreased in dose-dependent manner in treated animals. Results of the thesis showed that acrylamide exerts a negative effect on the viability of Rin-5F cell line. It has been established that the IC50 concentration of acrylamide for the Rin-5F cell line is 10 mM. The results of the thesis indicate that treatment of Rin-5F cell line with IC50 concentration of acrylamide for 1, 12, and 24 h significantly increased the level of malondialdehyde (MDA). Exposure to acrylamide for 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h significantly decreased the level of reduced GSH, while the level of free -SH groups was reduced after 3 and 6 h of acrylamide treatments. Treatment with IC50 concentration of acrylamide significantly enhanced CAT activity after 1 h of acrylamide exposure, while 12 h exposure significantly reduced the activity of this enzyme. Application of acrylamide reduced SOD activity after 1, 12, and 24 h exposure, while 6 h exposure significantly increased the activity of SOD enzymes. Results of the thesis also showed a very significant increase of the nitrite level, which is directly proportional to the level of nitrogen oxide (NO) and the level of the iNOS activity. This finding points to the potential occurrence of nitrosative stress in acrylamide-treated Rin-5F cells. It has been shown for the first time that acrylamide treatment leads to significant variations in transcription of iNOS, SOD1, SOD2, CAT, CYP2E1, Bax and Bcl-2 genes in treated Rin-5F cells, while the same treatment does not affect transcription of the insulin gene. Treatment with acrylamide at a concentration of 10 mM for increasing periods of time leads to an increase in the relative amount of the iNOS gene iRNA at all treatment points. Twelve and and 24 h of acrylamide exposure increased the transcription of the SOD1 and SOD2 genes. Transcription of CAT gene was increased after 3 h ofacrylamide exposure. Furthermore, it has been shown that acrylamide treatment leads to variations in the mRNA synthesis of CYP2E1 gene, which is particularly significant in the context of detoxification of this toxic substance. An increase in the transcription ofthe CYP2E1 gene was observed after 0.5 and 1 h of acrylamide exposure, while the reduction of transcription occurred after 12 and 24 h of acrylamide exposure. The treatment with 10 mM acrylamide has led to an increase of the transcription of the Bax gene at all treatment points, and also to an increase of transcription of the Bcl-2 gene after of 0.5, 1, and 3 h of acrylamide exposure. Summarizing all the results of this thesis, it can be concluded that the endocrine pancreas is one of the target tissues of acrylamide, to which this substance exerts a multiple adverse effects.</p>

Nevertheless the armament of pharmacotherapy for both diseases remains unsatisfactory. We aimed our work to main organs in risk of the mentioned diseases -liver and visceral fat using hepatocytes and visceral adipocytes as model. We detected 3 main metabolic and signalization activities- glycogenolysis, Nitric oxide (NO) production and transcription of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in hepatocytes, lipolysis, NO production and iNOS transcription rate in adipocytes. We directed our interest to combination of peroxisome proliferation activator receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, antagonist and β3 adrenergic agonist in the culture of epididymal rat adipocytes in the first part of our work. While in the second part we investigated the influence of β and α adrenergic mimetics, adrenergic blockers in the culture of rat high glycogen content hepatocytes. Methods: NO production was detected under the active agents treatments by detection of NO oxidative products NO2 and NO3 in media. Glycogenolysis was measured as free glucose rise released by hepatocytes into the media. NOS transcription level was extrapolated after comparative polymerase chain reaction with reverse...

Vasopressinmarkören Copeptin : Beskrivning av analysförfarande och användningsområde / The Vasopressin marker Copeptin : Description of the assay procedure and area of use.Börjesson, Linus January 2022 (has links)
Vasopressin är ett viktigt hormon som har många fysiologiska funktioner, däribland upprätthållandet av vätskebalansen i kroppen. Mätning av detta hormon är dock komplicerat och därför används ”skuggfragmentet” copeptin, som härstammar från samma prekursor. Genom användandet av metoden B·R·A·H·M·S KRYPTOR compact PLUS mäts copeptin. Studiens syfte är att beräkna variations-koefficienten och därmed undersöka de uppmätta värdenas reproducerbarhet. Vidare blir syftet att använda EpiHealth-kohortstudien för att validera den redan kända kopplingen mellan copeptin och förhöjt blodsocker genom en multivariant linjär regression. Vi kan i arbetet konstatera att copeptin metoden har en god reproducerbarhet, där majoriteten av de multipelt uppmätta copeptin-värdena har en inter-assay CV <8%. Vid undersökning av EpiHealth-kohorten fann vi att en ökning av copeptin var kross-sektionellt associerad med ett flertal metabola riskmarkörer, däribland fastande plasma-glukos, efter multivariant justering. Att copeptin var signifikant relaterat till denna potenta metabola riskmarkör kan tyda på att det finns ett orsakssamband mellan förhöjt vasopressin och förhöjt blodsocker, något som även tidigare studier har pekat på. Detta i sin tur visar att vasopressin kan spela en roll i utvecklandet av typ 2-diabetes. Om ett orsaks-samband föreligger undersöks nu i en stor randomiserad klinisk studie där vasopressin-nivåerna hos hälften av deltagarna sänks med hjälp av ökat vatten-intag (H2O-metab-studien). Det finns förhoppningar om att användandet av copeptin skall kunna användas i klinisk verksamhet för att riskbedöma individer avseende kardiometabola sjukdomar (däribland typ 2-diabetes). / Vasopressin is an important hormone that has many physiological functions, including the maintenance of fluid balance in the body. Measurement of this hormone is however complicated and therefore the "shadow fragment" copeptin is used, which is derived from the same precursor. Using the BRAHMS copeptin proAVP KRYPTOR method, copeptin was measured in this study. The purpose of the study is to calculate the coefficient of variation, and thus examine the reproducibility of the measured values . Furthermore, the aim will be to use the EpiHealth cohort study was used to validate the link between copeptin and elevated blood sugar through a multivariate linear regression. The majority of the multiple measurements of copeptin values had an inter-assay CV <8%, which indicates that the method has a good reproducibility. Examination of the EpiHealth cohort revealed that elevated copeptin was cross-sectionally associated with a number of metabolic risk markers, including fasting plasma glucose, after multivariate adjustment, a finding that is in line with previous findings from epidemiological studies. The fact that copeptin was significantly related to this potent metabolic risk marker may indicate a causal role of the vasopressin system in elevated blood glucose and may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes metillus. Previous experimental and genetical studies have indicated a causal association between elevated vasopressin and diabetes development. Currently, a randomized clinical trial is ongoing (the H2O-metab-study) in order to investigate a possible causal association between elevated vasopressin and glucose. In the study, increased water intake is used to lower plasma vasopressin (measured as copeptin), and the glucose-lowering potential of this water treatment is tested. There are hopes that copeptin can in the future be used in clinical practice for risk assessment with respect to cardiometabolic diseases (including type 2 diabetes).
