Milk composition changes after fortification milch cow feed with selected additive
Tůmová, Michaela ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Křížová,, Ludmila (advisor)
This thesis is dealing with effect of supplement limiting aminoacid histidin, that was applied as duodenal infusion, on yield and composition of high production dairy cows milk. The theoretical part describes overview about milk composition and metabolism of dairy cows. There are described nutrition requirements of dairy cows for esential aminoacids. In this part are also presented principles of analytical methods used for analysis of milk. For determination of basic components of milk were used infrared spectroscopy and enzymatic-conductometry. Aminoacid profile of casein was determined by ion exchange liquid chromatography. In the experimental part is described method of experiment. There is described technique of acid and oxidative hydrolysis of lyofilized casein and technique of determination aminoacids in this hydrolyzated casein. Results of analysis were interpreted and discussed with literature. This diploma thesis was made as a cooperation between the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Technology, Brno and the Research Institute for Cattle Breeding, Department of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Pohorelice.

New methods of protonated aminoacids preparation and their interactions with polyelectrolytes
Trojan, Martin ; Sedlařík,, Vladimír (referee) ; Chytil, Martin (advisor)
This Master thesis investigates the interaction between the polysaccharide sodium hyaluronate (HA) and some amphiphilic molecules. It is known that the presence of the carboxylic group on HA and the aminogroup on the amphiphiles leads to electrostatic interaction between these two compounds. This supposal offers the possibility to physically modify HA and use it as a new type of a carrier of bioactive compounds, for example medicals. However, successful carrier of bioactive compound has to resist a certain value of ionic strength. The high-molecular weights HA (1.75MDa) and amphiphile lysine were chosen for the study of the influence of ionic strength on the system HA – amphiphile. Our results show that system HA – amphiphile system is suppressed even by low concentrate solution of electrolyte. Therefore the system was reinforced by protonation of the aminoacid. The results show, that the interactions were reinforced, nevertheless negative influence of chlorine anions had to be eliminated by lyophilization. The solutions with strengthened system HA – amphiphile were used for the research of ionic strength influence. The amphiphiles lysine, 6 - aminocaproic acid and arginine were selected for this study. The interactions were investigated by means of reometry and conductometry.

Využití zeolitů v technológii vín révy vinné
Miklovičová, Kristína
This bachelor thesis has a theoretical-empirical character and its content is focused on the use of zeolites in the production technology of wine. The theoretical part defines the zeolite, its origin, composition and structure as well as the properties, the division of individual zeolites and their possible use in enology. This natural rock, characterized by their high absorption quality, is able to bind molecules to itself due to its porous structure. The empirical part analyses the effects of zeolites in the production technology of wine. Zeolite was applicated in the fermentation process of wine together with the yeasts. The experiment was performed with three variants of individual concentrations of zeolite and subsequently the sensory and chemical properties of wine were monitored. The experiment confirmed the reduction of thermolabile proteins after the application of zeolite, lower production of acetion and also lower concentration of polyphenol oxidase, thus preventing oxidation.

The role of endothelin receptors type A and B in the model of focal cerebral ischemia in immature rats
Vondráková, Kateřina ; Tsenov, Grygoriy (advisor) ; Říčný, Jan (referee)
Hypoxic-ischemic insult is a most common form of perinatal brain damage that threatens a newborn's life and can leads to permanent neurological sequelae. However, detailed aspects of the cerebral ischemia in the immature brain stay unanswered. We decide to use the model of focal cerebral ischemia induced by intrahippocampal endothelin-1 (ET-1) in 12-days-old rats. The knowledge about consequences of ET-1 induced ischemia and the role of endothelin receptors (ETA and ETB) in ischemia-induced consequences in immature brain are poor at present. Agonists and selective antagonists of the ETA and ETB receptors were used to determine the role of these receptors in the development of ischemia, changes in regional blood flow and tissue oxygenation, local changes of biochemical parameters and acute neuronal death. Our results indicates, that activation of the ETA receptors causes a strong decrease of the blood flow, induced related hypoxia and subsequent neuronal degeneration, whereas activation of ETB receptors has likely modulatory role. Moreover, ischemia causes increase of excitatory amino acids concentration, whereas inhibitory amino acid, except taurine, decreased after ischemia. These facts provides new insights in a case of perinatal ischemia. This thesis demonstrates the wide range of different effects of...

Experimental study of chemical evolution of biomolecules under early Earth conditions
Knížek, Antonín ; Ferus, Martin (advisor) ; Adam, Vojtěch (referee)
Origin of life is a still-enduring gap in human knowledge. This work is focused on revealing of several pieces of this puzzle. State of the art scenarios of biomolecules synthesis under prebiotic conditions are presented and discussed. This thesis presents our recent experiments suggesting a novel idea that neutral planetary atmosphere containing a mixture of neutral volcanic-type gasses (CO2, N2, H2O) can be converted over acidic mineral catalysts upon irradiation by a soft UV-radiation into a relatively reactive mixture of reducing gases (CH4, CO), which can be further reprocessed by high-energy chemistry. The resulting mixture (CH4, CO + N2) represents a common reducing atmosphere related e.g. to the chemistry of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, as well as a possible representation of the secondary atmosphere of our planet. Also, photocatalytic reduction of CO2-rich atmosphere can explain the abiotic origin of methane on current Mars or other terrestrial planets. In our subsequent experiments, corresponding equimolar model mixture of CH4 : CO : N2 in presence of water vapour was subjected to reprocessing by high-power laser plasma simulating an asteroid impact - one of a series of impact events which the young Earth experienced during the first 600 million years of her history. Upon delivery...

Studium senzitivity signální dráhy přes receptor Notch na aminokyseliny v potravě
STEFFAL, Pavel
The sensitivity of Notch signaling pathway to metabolism has been proposed in several recent studies but it is unclear if the changes in fly diet composition can directly lead to changes in Notch phenotype in vivo. In this work we show that activity of Notch pathway is sensitive to amino acids via the TOR pathway. In addition we will test a candidate protein as a sensor for amino acid level in the fat body of Drosophila melanogaster but also independently in other tissues.
