New doctoral thesis
Rikard Landberg defended on 27 February 2009 at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences his doctoral thesis "Alkylresorcinols as Biomarkers of Whole Grain Wheat and Rye Intake". The results support that alkylresorcinols can be used as biomarkers in intervention studies on whole grain wheat and rye and probably also in epidemiological endpoint- and validation studies. The thesis summary is available at http://epsilon.slu.se/eng/index.html
