  1. 6. Effect of FGF21 on short-term white adipocyte adiponectin secretion

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Isidora Anna Kristofersdottir; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Reduced levels of white adipocyte hormone adiponectin have been observed in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Higher adiponectin levels are monotonically associated with a lower risk of T2D and hence increasing circulating adiponectin levels is of great interest in diabetic research. READ MORE

  3. 7. Stråförkortningsmedel i jordbruket : klormekvatklorid och dess effekter på vete, korn och raps

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Elin Lindén; [2020]
    Keywords : stråförkortningsmedel; klormekvatklorid; CCC; gibberellin; växthormon; groning; tillväxt; paklobutrazol;

    Abstract : Syftet med det här arbetet är att undersöka effekterna av stråförkortningsmedel för uppkomst från frö och tillväxt av plantor för en- och tvåhjärtbladiga grödor i relation till växthormonet gibberellin. Stråförkortningsmedel med den aktiva substansen klormekvatklorid (CCC), som hämmar syntesen av växthormonet gibberellin, användes här för att undersöka effekterna på uppkomst och tillväxt hos vete, raps och korn.

  5. 9. Effects of early life exposure to flutamide on sexual development in Xenopus tropicalis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Miljötoxikologi

    Author : Christopher Hampton; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : While endocrine disrupting chemicals have become a serious concern in human and environmental toxicology, many of the methods used for investigating developmental toxicity require long exposure periods, and thus can be technically challenging, labour intensive and expensive. For example, the current standard method, the Larval Amphibian Growth and Development Assay (LAGDA) has an exposure period of ³130 days. READ MORE

  6. 10. The cow eye : function and effect of light on milk yield

    Author : Hanna Tiilikainen; [2018]
    Keywords : cow-eye; light; photoperiod; milk-yield; prolactin; melatonin;

    Abstract : The purpose of this review was to study the cow’s eye physiology, focusing on how light affects the cow’s milk yield. It has been shown in studies that more hours of light per day (16 hours of light a day, as opposed to about 9-12 hours of light a day), increases milk yield for dairy cows. READ MORE
