Abstract

Altijd moe? Of net een opgejaagd gevoel en een hoge hartslag? Er maar niet ins lagen om te vermageren? Of gewicht verliezen zonder dat je weet waarom? Rillen van de kou? Zweten? Het kunnen allemaal symptomen zijn van een verstoorde werking van de schildklier. Ongeveer één op tien mensen krijgt ooit problemen met de schildklier.De schildklier regelt de energiehuishouding van ons lichaam. Maar ze doet nog veel meer. Het is een klein orgaan met een enorm grote impact. De hormonen die de schildklier produceert, zijn onmisbaar voor tal van andere organen en lichaamsfuncties. 20 gram (ofzelfs nog minder) van levensbelang!https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/de-schildklier-9789072201294

Abstract

In the mid- to late-twentieth century, large scientific conflicts flared in two seemingly distinct fields of scientific inquiry. In bioenergetics, which examines how organisms obtain and utilize energy, the chemiosmotic hypothesis of Mitchell suggested a novel mechanism for energy conversion. In evolutionary biology, meanwhile, Wynne Edwards strongly articulated the view that organisms may act for the "good of the group." This work crystalized a long history of imprecise thinking about the evolution of cooperation. While both controversies have received ample attention, no one has ever suggested that one might inform the other, i.e., that energy metabolism in general and chemiosmosis in particular might be relevant to the evolution of cooperation. The central idea is nevertheless remarkably simple. Chemiosmosis rapidly converts energy, and once storage capacity is exceeded, an overabundance of product has various negative consequences. While to some extent chemiosmotic processes can be modulated, under certain circumstances it is also possible to simply disperse the products into the environment. This book argues that these two heretofore distinct scientific disciplines are connected, thereby suggesting that a ubiquitous process of energy conversion may underlie the evolution of cooperation and link major transitions in the history of life that have been regarded as mechanistically unrelated.

Abstract

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the biological functions of melanins, their biotechnological production, and their industrial applications. The melanins form a group of polymeric pigments found in most organisms. These natural products are generated by the oxidation of phenolic and indolic molecules yielding melanins, which include eumelanin, pheomelanin, pyomelanin, and the allomelanins. These pigments have diverse biological functions, including photoprotection, thermoregulation, antioxidation, virulence, and metal ion sequestration. Melanins have physicochemical properties that have proven useful in the optical, electronic, material, agriculture, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical industries. The chapters in this book provide an in-depth analysis of the current issues and challenges in this field. Topics covered include the properties, biogenesis, and evolution of melanosomes. The book also addresses the synthesis and industrial production of melanins by microorganisms. The metabolic pathways for the synthesis of several types of polymeric pigments in microorganisms and their role in pathogenesis are reviewed. The large-scale production and purification of melanins to provide this product for industrial applications is a formidable challenge. Two chapters present and discuss the state-of-the-art used for the generation of microbial melanin-production strains and the processes for the biotechnological synthesis and purification of these pigments. Melanins are polymers that can interact with metals, a chapter reviews this capacity in the context of technological applications, including electrochemical energy storage and metal recovery. These polymers are materials having favorable characteristics for photonic applications, including UV blocking and broadband absorption. The current advances in the application of these pigments in optically active materials are presented and discussed.

In deze nieuwe druk is vanwege de toenemende behoefte aan zelfstudie gekozen voor een duidelijke scheiding tussen de kernstof, op papier, en de bijbehorende website, die onder meer verdiepingsstof en toetsen biedt.Deze druk is ingrijpend geactualiseerd, in het bijzonder op het gebied van veroudering en cellulaire, cardiovasculaire en respiratoire fysiologie. Het boek is geschikt voor zelfstudie en -toetsing door inleidende leerdoelen in elk hoofdstuk, steeds af te sluiten met een samenvatting, en door de meerkeuzevragen op de site. Geschematiseerde figuren helpen de in de tekst besproken concepten vorm te geven. De woordkeuze van de auteurs helpt de student zich vertrouwd te maken met Nederlandse benamingen voor veelvoorkomende medisch-fysiologische begrippen naast de vele gangbare vreemdtalige termen door de toenemende internationalisering.

Abstract

Het Handboek Voeding is een unieke samenwerking tussen docenten van verschillende Belgische universitaire instellingen en hogescholen. De materie wordt op een hybride manier aangereikt aan de lezer: deels op papier, deels digitaal. In dit papieren deel krijgt de lezer een uitgebreid overzicht van de basisconcepten en principes die relevant zijn voor humane voeding. In het digitale deel, terug te vinden op het online leerplatform Sofia, wordt dieper ingegaan op praktische toepassingen en op recente wetenschappelijke bevindingen. De combinatie van papier en digitaal leerplatform laat de auteurs toe om telkens in te spelen op nieuwe ontwikkelingen in het domein van voedingsleer. Het Handboek Voeding is modulair opgebouwd. De eerste module spitst zich toe op algemene aspecten van de voedingsleer die studenten moeten beheersen. Vervolgens wordt dieper ingegaan op de verschillende macronutriënten, water, alcohol en de verschillende micronutriënten. Dit boek besteedt ook aandacht aan stoffen in onze voeding waarvan de functie vaak nog niet of niet helemaal gekend is ? de zogenaamde bioactieve voedingstoffen ? en staat stil bij de rol van de microbiota in relatie tot het menselijke voedingspatroon. De verschillende modules bestaan telkens uit een combinatie van het boek en het digitale platform.
