Nutritional comparison of animal-based and plant-based foods
Tichá, Kateřina ; Pejšová, Hana (advisor) ; Chrpová, Diana (referee)
The substitution of animal-based foods with plant-based products is common in some alternative diets, but plant-based substitutes are also increasingly consumed by mainstream customers. The aim of this thesis was to compare animal-based foods with their plant-based alternatives and to assess how nutrition professional and the lay public is informed about the differences between them. A total of 223 respondents, 136 of whom had no education in nutrition, participated in the questionnaire survey. The results showed that the awareness of the lay public about the nutritional composition of plant-based alternatives is significantly lower than that of professionals. Furthermore, professionals pay significantly more attention to information on food labels and consider their diet as healthier than the lay public. In contrast, education in nutrition did not have a significant effect on experience with alternative diets or on the frequency of consumption of plant-based alternatives. The practical part of this thesis included market research as well. Differences in composition and nutritional values were found not only between animal-based foods and their alternatives, but also among plant-based products. Soy drinks appear to be the best plant-based alternative to milk, as their protein content is almost...

PEJŠOVÁ, Hana
The aim of this thesis was to determine the functions of subgenomic flaviviral RNA (sfRNA) in host cells. In more detail, sfRNAs derived from dengue virus, zika virus and tickborne encephalitis virus were studied. Firstly, the impact of sfRNA on de novo synthesis of host proteins and rRNA was examined using Click chemistry. Secondly, methodology of sfRNA localisation in host cells was optimised using fluorescence in situ hybridisation.

Šmídová, Zuzana ; Pejšová, Hana (advisor) ; Rysová, Jana (referee)
Consumption of sugar, sugar-containing food and drinks, related health risks and change of life style in our population are currently addressed issues with negative consequences already observed in childhood. The aim of the diploma thesis was to study the consumption of sugar and foods containing sugar in children attending kindergarten and 1st grade of elementary school. The theoretical part was focused on an overview of knowledge about sugars, both naturally occurring and added, and health risks associated with frequent consumption of foods containing added sugars. In the practical part, the consumption of these foods in terms of quantity and various forms and its influence on the development of childhood obesity and other metabolic diseases was monitored. At the same time, other aspects of children's lifestyle that could determine children's obesity were identified. The basis of the practical part was a questionnaire survey using questions determining eating habits of children. The research showed a relationship between the BMI of children above the 75th percentile and more frequent sweets consumption and less frequent active (sports) and natural physical activities. Almost 84% of children consume sugar and sweets more often than 3 times a week, with more frequent consumption in kindergarten...
Nutrition in patients with chronic kidney disease
Mokrejšová, Andrea ; Pejšová, Hana (advisor) ; Zakiyanov, Oskar (referee)
Nutritional therapy is very significant for dialysis patients. The basis of the diet in hemodialysis treatment is a sufficient energy intake, increased protein intake, which corresponds to the needs of the dialysis patient. It can be difficult for patients to grasp a change in their diet compared to the period of pre-dialysis treatment, constant monitoring of all dietary restrictions due to insufficient filtration capacity of the kidneys, and at the same time compiling a still varied and balanced diet. For this reason, it is more than desirable for patients to be provided with the possibility of regular nutritional education and consultation. This individual care is essential for improving the quality of the patient's life and adequate support for hemodialysis treatment. This work aims to evaluate the change in the composition of the diet of hemodialysis patients after regular nutritional education. In addition to the adjustment of eating habits, other anthropometric and laboratory parameters related to the nutritional status of dialysis patients were also monitored. Patients were divided into two groups, according to their preferences. The first monitored group recorded their meals by hand or electronically. Patients from the second control group did not record their diet, instead they tried to...
