  1. 1. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
    Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

    Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.

  3. 2. Molecular Mechanisms of Endophilin B1-Bax Macromolecular Complexes in Membrane Permeabilization and Cell Death

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tobias Kollberg Hedström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A crucial step during apoptosis is the accumulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax on the mitochondria where it triggers permeabilization of the outer membrane. This causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and is considered a point of no return in programmed cell death. READ MORE

  4. 3. DINCH and DINP Plasticizers Alter Lipid Metabolism in 3T3-L1 cells

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Isabel Häggblom; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Di(isononyl)cyclohexane – 1,2 dicarboxylate (DINCH) and Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) are high molecular weight compounds used as plasticizers. DINCH and DINP use on the market have been increasing recently to replace previously used phthalate plasticizers in polymeric products. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Effect of Chemotherapy Treatment on Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Adipocyte Differentiation

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Hanna Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; Doxorubicin; Dexamethasone; Stromal cell fat differentiation; cytokines; Akut lymfatisk leukemi; Doxorubicin; Dexametason; stromacellers fettdifferentiering; cytokiner;

    Abstract : I ett försök att förstå orsakerna bakom de kardio-, metaboliska- och muskuloskeletala sjukdomar hos barn som överlevt akut lymfatisk leukemi (ALL) har vi studerat den adipogena differentieringen hos mesenkymala stromaceller från benmärg (BM MSCs). Det komplexa nätverket av faktorer som påverkar adipogenes är hittills inte helt kartlagt. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization and optimization of Rhodosporidium toruloides for production of lipids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Niharika Singh; [2021]
    Keywords : chemical engineering; oily yeasts; lipids; nitrogen limitation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oleaginous microorganisms provide an opportunity to produce oils without the use of arable land for cultivation of oil-containing plants. Oleaginous microorganisms are also capable of storing products of pharmaceutical interest alongside storing polymers, which could open new opportunities in the bioplastic industry. READ MORE
