Hohenheim Research and its Impact

World Zoonoses Day - July 06 [26.06.2018]

In line with the 'One Health' concept, research on zoonoses at the University of Hohenheim has many facets. Next to the groups at the Department of Parasitology, scientists from the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology and from the Department of Livestock Infectiology and Environmental Hygiene engage in that research field.more

Diet in Chronic Kidney Disease - A Practical Guide [25.06.2018]

Chronic kidney disease is associated with metabolic disorders. The nutrient requirement varies considerably and often it is not covered. This is why many patients experience severe deficiencies ("kidney disease wasting"), which limits their quality of life and prognosis. On the other hand sodium, potassium and phosphate must be limited. Nutritional therapy is a relevant part...more

No specific humoral and cellular immune response in rats after feeding genetically modified maize [03.06.2018]

The genetically modified maize event MON810 expresses a Bacillus thuringiensis-derived gene, which encodes the insecticidal protein Cry1Ab to control some lepidopteran insect pests such as the European corn borer. It has been claimed that the immune system may be affected following the oral/intragastric administration of the MON810 maize in various different animal species. A...more

DNA Hydroxymethylation Levels Are Altered in Blood Cells From Down Syndrome (DS) Persons Enrolled in the MARK-AGE Project. [29.05.2018]

A new study involving Nicole Breusing from the Institute of Clinical Nutrition shows decrease in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, TET1, and other components of the DNA methylation/demethylation machinery in DS subjects, indicating that aberrant DNA methylation patterns and related transcriptional changes may be due to a global disturbance of methylation control in Down Syndrome....more

Centenarian offspring has a tighter control of Zn homeostasis which is likely to provide them constant protection against stress stimuli over the whole lifespan [29.05.2018]

The relevance of MT in the aging process has been documented both in animal models and humans as these proteins are responsive to anti-aging interventions including caloric restriction (CR) and inhibition of the insulin/insulin-like signaling (IIS) pathway (MARK-AGE Consortium, 2018)more

Associating genetic loci to human complex traits [28.05.2018]

Newly appointed Professor Claussnitzer is part of a concerted initiative using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to elucidate disease phenotypes in humans.more

Hohenheim's research for healthy dairy products [22.05.2018]

The department of Animal Foodstuff Technology with its allocated Dairy for Research and Training is part of the Institute for Food Technology at the University of Hohenheim. Our main emphasis lies on the examination of process related reactions and changes of milk and milk products during storage. The processing of food is to be studied in the complete depth of its single...more
