  1. 1. Differential gene expression in the heart of hypoxic chicken fetuses (Gallus gallus)

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Yves Nindorera; [2009]
    Keywords : Cardiac myocytes; hypertrophy; hypoxia; microarray; quantitative PCR;

    Abstract : Evidence has shown that hypoxic hearts have greater heart/fetus mass ratio. However, it is still unclear if either hyperplasia or hypertrophy causes the relatively increased heart mass. Furthermore, the genes that might be involved in the process have not yet been identified. READ MORE

  3. 2. Expression of B-adrenergic receptors in chicken fetuses

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sebastian Hedlund; [2006]
    Keywords : Chicken fetus; β-adrenergic receptor; Hypoxia; mRNA; Heart;

    Abstract : Chicken fetuses exposed to chronic hypoxia suffer from growth retardation and induces an overall sympathetic activity, including elevation of the concentration of circulating catecholamines. Simultaneously, hypoxic fetuses display a lowered β-adrenoreceptor (βAR) density in myocardial tissue. READ MORE
