Dietary habits of patients in the schizophrenic spectrum
Krůčková, Dominika ; Kalinová, Nelly (advisor) ; Pehr, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with the dietary habits of schizophrenic patients and the effect of anti- inflammatory food on the levels of inflammatory markers in the blood. Patients suffering from schizophrenia are observed to have poorer eating habits compared to healthy controls. These patients are more likely to consume saturated and trans unsaturated fatty acids and less likely to include fruit and vegetables, unsaturated fatty acids or fibre in their diet. At the same time these patients have a higher consumption of foods involved in promoting chronic inflammation and thus possibly worsening the symptoms of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dietary habits of schizophrenic patients using a semi-quantitative frequency questionnaire and to compare them with a control group without a psychiatric diagnosis. Furthermore, based on the findings from the DII to select foods from the questionnaire that contain components of or are themselves included in the anti-inflammatory food index and to determine whether the frequency of consumption of these foods correlates with blood levels of inflammatory markers. According to the results of this work the diet of schizophrenic patients can be considered less healthy compared to the control group due to lower consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables,...
Study of diffusion properties of vesicular systems using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
Rašticová, Barbora ; Venerová, Tereza (referee) ; Mravec, Filip (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with the study of the diffusion properties of vesicular systems composed of two oppositely charged tensides SDS and CTAB with the addition of the double-chain tenside DODAC and cholesterol. The aim of this work was to select suitable fluorescent probes and investigate their use in imaging these systems using dynamic light scattering and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Different concentrations of hyaluronan were also added to the prepared systems. Two representatives of carbocyanine (DiI, DiO) and two xanthene (F16, RBOE) dyes were selected as fluorescent probes. The suitability of their use was verified for all probes except RBOE. The measurement results from the two methods were also compared. It was found that the data do not correlate with each other, due to the considerable complexity of the analyzed systems and the available mathematical models to fit the FCS curves are therefore insufficient.
