  1. 1. METABOLIC CRISIS IN humans WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DIABETES : DEVELOPMENT OF AN EX VIVO MODEL IN HUMAN BLOOD CELLS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTI-DIABETics

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Filippa Dahlgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Anti-diabetics; ATP-production; Metabolic crisis; Mitochondrial diabetes; Respiration;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are found in all cells of the body except red blood cells. Mitochondria is the organelle that produces the most ATP in the body, which is the cells energy carrier. All processes in the body require energy in one way or another, hence the function of mitochondria is very important. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Effects of Heat Transfer Fluid from District Heating Networks on Activated Sludge : A respirometric analysis using a dilution series to assess disruption of biological treatment processes in wastewater treatment facilities

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Victor Bergseije; [2014]
    Keywords : activated sludge; respirometry; district heating; industrial waste water;

    Abstract : District heating has a long standing tradition in Sweden and today it is the most common way of producing and transporting heat. A District heating system (DH system) is divided into three parts: a production facility, distribution network (DH network) and one more heat stations. READ MORE

  5. 4. The relationship between personality and basal metabolic rate in Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus)

    University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Åsa Näsström; [2013]
    Keywords : Allocation model; basal metabolic rate; behaviour; chicken; oxygen consumption; personality traits;

    Abstract : ‘Animal personality’ refers to individual behavioural differences that are consistent over time and context. Physiological constraints are suggested to underlie this constraint in behavioural plasticity. As energy is required for physiological processes that generate behaviour, energy metabolism could be a proximate explanation for personality. READ MORE

  6. 5. The effect of different starch levels on oxygen consumption and nitrogen excretion of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis)

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

    Author : Rouzbeh Keihani; [2013]
    Keywords : Starch; Oxygen consumption; Nitrogen excretion; Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis ; Respirometry;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing and valuable industries nowadays. Because fish meal and fish oil are the major components of fish diets, there is growing concern that the rapid growth of this industry will lead to either fish meal scarcity or the depletion of marine fish population.
