[Overweight--an actual problem in modern world].

It is estimated that by 2020 two-thirds of the global burden of disease will be attributable to chronic noncommunicable diseases, most of them strongly associated with diet. The nutrition transition towards refined foods, foods of animal origin, and increased fats plays a major role in the current global epidemics of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, among other noncommunicable conditions. The epidemics cannot be ended simply by encouraging people to reduce their risk factors and adopt healthier lifestyles.

[Synthesis of sesquiterpene metabolites in a Trichothecium roseum culture].

During the cultivation Trichothecium roseum forms biologically active sesquiterpenes in particular trichothecin and trichothecolon. The quantitative ratio of these compounds in cultural liquid changes depending on the cultivation conditions. The compounds taking part in terpenoids shant specifically increase the synthesis of sesquiterpenes in fungus culture.

[Effect of polyploidogenic factors on Trichothecium roseum mycelium in the process of trichothecine and fibrinolytic enzyme biosynthesis].

The effect of colchicine and boric acid on the substrate mycelium of Trichothecium roseum was studied in the course of trichothecin biosynthesis. Addition of boric aicd (0.01%) and colchicine (0.
