  1. 1. Inhibited surface-thiols in Geobacter sulfurreducens : Mercury uptake and methylation rates

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Andreas Granström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to daily human (anthropogenic) industrial activity, a lot of elemental mercury (Hg0) has been released to the atmosphere. The mercury can then spread globally, since mercury has the ability to remain atmospheric for up to a year. When mercury deposits, it can end up in anaerobic environments such as sediments and soil.

  3. 2. Designing the Superplant: Increasing Lipid Signaling for Enhanced Phosphorus Uptake

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Louise Jedemark; [2021]
    Keywords : Lipid flippases; Arabidopsis; Yeast; Transport biology; Applied Biochemistry; Tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hästars insulinnivåer – koppling till ras och hull

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Cecilia Winkler; [2019]
    Keywords : insulinresistens; fång; överhull;

    Abstract : Insulin är det viktigaste anabola hormonet som reglerar cellernas upptag av glukos. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om överhull är relaterat till förhöjda insulinnivåer och insulinresistens och om det finns några rasskillnader i insulinsvaret hos häst. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of an equine-optimized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of serum insulin in canine and feline samples

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Ylva Moberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Cross-reactivity; hypoglycaemia; immunoassay; insulinoma; validation;

    Abstract : Background: Insulin is an important hormone for glucose homeostasis. It is released from β-cells in the endocrine pancreas as a response to increased concentrations of plasma glucose. The major effect of insulin is the facilitation of cellular uptake and storage of glucose as glycogen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Circumventing Gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer using drug delivery systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Gabriella Willman; [2017]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Gemcitabine is the first line treatment of pancreatic cancer, a treatment that is relying on the expression of human Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 for cellular uptake. Combined with its short blood half-life and intracellular activation steps, Gemcitabine treatment has many limitations. READ MORE
