1. 1. Katters välfärd under behandling av hypertyreos : en enkätstudie

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Michelle Ciesluk; Rebecca Legge; [2023]
   Keywords : hypertyreos; jodfattigt foder; katt; medicinsk behandling; omvårdnadsåtgärder; radioaktiv jod; symtom; välfärd;

   Abstract : Hypertyreos är den vanligaste endokrina sjukdomen hos katter. Sjukdomen beror på sjukliga förändringar i tyreoidea som leder till en ökning av tyreoideahormon och en ökad ämnesomsättning. READ MORE

3. 2. Examination of pathway crosstalk and functional modules in papillary thyroid cancer dedifferentiation to anaplastic thyroid cancer

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Maria Panagiota Theodorou; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Thyroid cancer, comprising well-differentiated follicular and papillary types, alongside less common medullary and anaplastic subtypes with poor prognoses, exhibits specific anaplastic cases resulting from papillary dedifferentiation, lacking precise molecular evidence. Utilizing Metascape, CTpathway and PathwAX II, the study integrates functional modules and pathway crosstalk for dedifferentiation analysis, conducting a comprehensive two-dimensional assessment of toolset’s functionality, compatibility, and interoperability.

4. 3. 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

5. 4. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Maria Revenikioti; [2023]
   Keywords : Endocrine-disrupting chemical EDC ; Environmental pollutants; Endocrine disruption ED ; Developmental neurotoxicity DNT ; Development; Zebrafish embryos; Estradiol; DHT; BPF; PFOS.;

   Abstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE

6. 5. 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.
