5 Conclusion PS samples with defined macroporous structure were prepared and they were used as sensing layer in PL chemical sensors' concentration dependence of pL quenching response of standard PS was measured ro,ío*orogical set of linear alcohols in gas and liquid phase. From oU*'""a *tl"l"tion' of quenching sensitivity with dielecnic constant and saturated vapour it""ut" in gas and liquid phases follolrs: r. :r _L^-a io .nnrrolled bv dielectric - PL quancbing response of PS in liquid phase is controlled by streng*r ofmlYta - PL quenching response of PS in gas phase is controlled more by equilibriumconcentrationofanalýeinsideporousmatrix.Dielectric strength of analýe is not so important. PSsurfaceswerefunctionalizedwithcobaltphthalocyanine, polypyrrole, permethyl-6r-heptenoylamino-6I-deoxy B-cyclodextrins' methyl-lO-undeceonate and by oxidation' (The work is focused on using the first three compounds') We performed a measurement of concentration dependence of PL sensor response functionalized PS samples for selected organic species in gas phase' We can conclude that the PL quenching.",pň," was modiťred by functionalization of PS with selected compounds, due to change of surface polarity and molecular recognition. The magnitude of sensor response modification is dependent on kind of anallte' Another...

Role of antioxidant defense in the synthesis of antidiabetic lipokines
Domanská, Veronika ; Kuda, Ondřej (advisor) ; Zouhar, Petr (referee) ; Vrkoslav, Vladimír (referee)
Fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are a recently discovered group of lipokines consisting of a fatty acid attached to a hydroxy fatty acid with an ester bond resulting in a diverse group of compounds with many different biological activities. Antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities are the most studied. The thesis aimed to study this group of bioactive lipids to elucidate the metabolism of FAHFAs and describe the role of antioxidant defense, namely peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), in their biosynthesis with the help of isotopic labeling together with in vitro and in vivo experiments. All the samples, including white adipose tissue, liver, and even human breast milk, were subjected to untargeted or targeted lipidomic and metabolomics analysis using LC-MS/MS. We used the data from isotopically labeled experiments to describe the role of 5-PAHSA in glucose uptake and to show which specific pathways are stimulated by 5-PAHSA administration and which by insulin to compare the effect of both antidiabetic agents. In our samples, we analyzed TAG estolides, which function as intracellular reservoirs of FAHFAs, and managed to describe the role of specific lipases in their metabolism. We reported the role of Prdx6 and the specific enzymatic activity involved in synthesizing precursors that could...
