Characterization of plum oil and its use in cosmetics
Kaňovská, Zuzana ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Szotkowski, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to characterize plum kernel oil and to explore its possible use in the cosmetics industry. The theoretical part of the thesis is a research on the properties of vegetable oils in general, plum kernel oil and other kernel oils. In the experimental part, the oil was characterized in terms of the profile of fatty acids, phenolic compounds and tocopherols. Body lotion was also prepared, containing plum kernel oil, for which hydration and barrier properties were determined. Pure plum kernel oil and body lotion were tested for antimicrobial activity.

Proteomic analysis of engineered hyaline cartilage
Kaňovská, Zuzana ; Vičarová,, Petra (referee) ; doc. RNDr. Irena Koutná, Ph.D (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was to observe the expansion of chondrocytes, specialized cartilage cells, in vitro in culture medium containing platelet rich plasma, to evaluate the effect of the addition of growth factors TGF-1 and IGF-1 to the medium and to explore the possibility of proteomic analysis application in the development of cartilage joint replacements. Chondrocytes were isolated form articular hyaline cartilage samples acquired in collaboration with the FN Brno and expanded in media. The resulting constructs were subsequently analyzed by immunocytochemical method, flow cytometry and proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS.
