Nutritional behavior of pupils in selected primary schools in Vlašim
Dymák, Petr ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Vodáková, Jitka (referee)
Název: Nutritional behavior of pupils in selected primary schools in Vlašim Abstract: The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. I deal with the summary of findings on the effects of nutrition on mental and physical development of children of school age in the theoretical part. It creates their dietary habits, the formation of aversions and preferences for food, social facilitation in the presence of contemporary kids and how to explain the effects on food intake for external or internal conditions. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to chart a method of quantitative research (questionnaires). How do kids use eating in the school canteen and how children perceive the environment of the school canteen. Other topics include the monitoring of satisfaction of children in school canteens, which students have preference in the selection of meals and what are their eating habits. I have chosen my target group of pupils from the first and the second grades of selected elementary schools in Vlašim. At the end of my thesis I try to recommend ratio of use of fast food, comfort food and traditional food in the diets of school children. Selection and control of food schoolchildren have a direct impact on the health not only from the perspective of the individual, but society as a whole.

The role of stable analogs of prolactin-releasing peptide in obesity and hypertension.
Neprašová, Barbora ; Maletínská, Lenka (advisor) ; Poledne, Rudolf (referee) ; Rossmeisl, Martin (referee)
Anorexigenic neuropeptides have the potential to decrease food intake and ameliorate obesity and its complications such as high blood glucose or high blood pressure. However, they are not able to cross the blood-brain barrier after peripheral application. Recently, we have designed and synthesized lipidized analogs of prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP), which resulted in stabilization of the molecule and allowed us to apply the peptide to the periphery to achieve its central biological effect, as it was demonstrated by increased neuronal activity shown by c-Fos in particular hypothalamus nuclei. The aim of this study was to choose the effective dose in acute food intake experiments and then to characterize the subchronic effect of palmitoylated PrRP analogs in mouse and rat models of obesity and diabetes. Several animal models were used: diet-induced obese (DIO) mice (C57Bl/6J), DIO Sprague-Dawley rats, and two rat models with leptin receptor-deficiency: Zucker diabetic (ZDF) rats and spontaneously hypertensive (SHROB) rats. Consumption of a high-fat diet in DIO mice and rats increased their body weight and blood pressure. Two-week intraperitoneal treatment with palmitoylated PrRP31 lowered the food intake, body weight, and returned the blood pressure to normal levels. This treatment also improved...
