(author), Young, D.B. (author), Thole, J.E.R. (author)We have developed a novel epitope delivery system based on the insertion of peptides within a permissive loop of a bacterial superoxide dismutase molecule. This system allowed high-level expression of heterologous peptides in two mycobacterial vaccine strains, Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette- Guerin (BCG) and Mycobacterium vaccae. The...article 1998

(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)1. In order to study the potential beneficial effects of a vegan diet, a cross-sectional study was performed and several biomarkers of chemoprevention were measured in a population of female 'living food' eaters ('vegans'; n = 20) vs matched omnivorous controls (n = 20). 2. White blood cells obtained from fresh blood samples were subjected to...article 1996

(author), TNO Voeding (author)Objective: Dietary fat intake is higher than recommended in most western countries and is associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and cancer. The growing public concern about the adverse effects of a high fat intake has led to an increased availability of 'reduced-fat' products. Consumption of reduced-fat products...article 1996

(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)Restriction of energy intake (ER), without malnutrition of essential nutrients, has repeatedly been demonstrated to increase longevity in rodents. In the antioxidant theory of aging the lack of balance between the generation of free radicals and free radical scavenging was thought to be a main causal agent in the aging process. From this point...article 1995

van Hemmen, J.J. (author), Meuling, W.J.A. (author), Medisch Biologisch Laboratorium TNO (author)E. coli cells are inactivated by the products of the reaction between dialuric acid and oxygen, of which the primary product is superoxide. The rate of inactivation is decreased by superoxide dismutase, by catalase, and by EDTA, whereas it is increased by addition of cupric ions or hydrogen peroxide. It is concluded that a toxic product is...article 1977
