1. Biomarkers for DNA damage in human biomonitoring
Sammanfattning : Genomic DNA in humans is constantly exposed to different kinds of damage. Therefore, it is desirable to implement methods for detecting and measuring of inflicted body burden. Human biomonitoring (HBM) can here be a useful tool as a link between environmental exposure and disease outcome. LÄS MER
2. Basal and Pollutant-induced Expression of CYP1A, 1B and 1C isoforms in Fish : Implications for Biomonitoring
Sammanfattning : Aquatic wildlife are exposed to contaminants in their natural habitats, and toxic pollutants may induce toxicity in sensitive target tissues and cells. There is therefore a need to establish biomarkers to determine exposure to certain classes of contaminants and the subsequent biological responses. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation of Biomarker Responses in Fish : with Special Emphasis on Gill EROD Activity
Sammanfattning : Many chemicals present in the aquatic environment can interfere with physiological functions in fish. Exposure to chemicals can be revealed by the use of biomarkers. Induction of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity is a commonly used biomarker for exposure to CYP1A inducers such as dioxins and polyaromatic hyrdrocarbons. LÄS MER
4. From Proteomic Analysis to Biomarker Application - Studies of Carbonyl Reductase in Fish
Sammanfattning : Many anthropogenic substances are present in the aquatic environment, but there is limited information on how this combination of chemicals affects exposed wildlife. To assess the impact of chemicals, a biomarker approach is frequently applied in environmental biomonitoring programmes. LÄS MER
5. Human Exposure Biomarkers of Some Commonly Used Pesticides
Sammanfattning : The use of pesticides has caused pollution of surface and groundwater, soil and air across the world. Many pesticides cause health effects in humans. General populations are exposed to some degree and diet is reported to be a main source of exposure. LÄS MER
