  1. 11. Assessing the thyroid gland impairing effects associated to GenX exposure : A literature study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Julia Mauritzon; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; GenX; HFPO-DA; Thyroid gland; PFAS; GenX; HFPO-DA; Sköldkörteln;

    Abstract : GenX, a newly synthesized per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), has gained attention as a supposedly safer replacement for the long-chain PFAS, PFOA. Given the thyroid gland being known to be a target organ for the health effects of PFOA, it is crucial to investigate GenX potential impact on the thyroid gland. READ MORE

  3. 12. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  4. 13. Påverkar graden av insulindysreglering effekten av behandling med kanagliflozin hos hästar med ekvint metabolt syndrom?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Ida Ivarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ekvint metabolt syndrom EMS ; Insulindysreglering ID ; Hyperinsulinemi; Kanagliflozin;

    Abstract : Ekvint metabolt syndrom (EMS) kan förklaras som ett antal riskfaktorer som bidrar till utvecklingen av fång hos hästar. Insulindysreglering (ID) och obesitas med eller utan regional fettansättning utgör viktiga riskfaktorer som ingår i syndromet. Hästar med ID får onormalt höga insulinkoncentrationer i plasma, kallat hyperinsulinemi. READ MORE

  5. 14. 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.

  6. 15. Tillskottsutfodring av ren (Rangifer tarandus) på slakterier : rutiner och utmaningar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Ida Suopanki; [2022]
    Keywords : tillskottsutfodring; Rangifer tarandus; slakteri; metabolism; rutiner; utmaningar;

    Abstract : Utfodring av ren blir alltmer vanligt inom renskötseln på grund av krympande betesmarker och förändrade klimatförhållanden. Faktorer som skogsbruk och infrastruktur har bidragit till konkurrens om marken. Vidare har klimatförändringar i form av temperaturväxlingar och mer nederbörd bidragit till svårare vinterbetesförhållanden. READ MORE
