11. Studies of α-synuclein Oligomers-with Relevance to Lewy Body Disorders
Sammanfattning : The protein alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) accumulates in the brain in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). It is believed that the monomeric form of α-synuclein can adopt a partially folded structure and start to aggregate and form intermediately sized oligomers or protofibrils. LÄS MER
12. Odour-mediated nectar foraging in the silver Y moth, Autographa gamma
Sammanfattning : It is well established that floral odours play a significant role in the nectar foraging behaviour in Lepidoptera and other insect orders. Floral odour may elicit searching, alighting and feeding behaviours alone or in concert with visual stimuli. LÄS MER
13. Grazer-induced responses in marine phytoplankton
Sammanfattning : Phytoplankton are the most important primary producers in the world’s oceans, yet little is known of how they avoid the constant threats from the pelagic grazers. From land it is well known that plants defend themselves by having thorns or producing compounds unpalatable to grazers. LÄS MER
14. Experimental studies on acute health effects of acrolein and other aldehydes
Sammanfattning : Aldehydes are reactive and ubiquitous in indoor as well as outdoors and can give rise to significant health problems in humans, e.g. irritation of the eyes and toxic effects on the upper respiratory tract. This thesis focuses on the irritating and inflammatory properties of three commonly occurring aldehydes; acrolein, crotonaldehyde and hexanal. LÄS MER
15. In vivo dosimetry of aldehydes and studies on the origin of malonaldehyde
Sammanfattning : Aldehydes are electrophilic reagents that bind to nucleophilic sites in macromolecules andmany of them have been shown to possess cytotoxic and genotoxic properties.The aim of this study was to develop an analytical method for the measurement of reactionproducts (adducts) of aldehydes with hemoglobin (Hb) and to apply this method for in vivodosimetry of endogenously formed aldehydes, particularly malonaldehyde (MA).
