  1. 11. Environmental Monitoring of Refuse Dump Leachate Toxicity in Fish

    Författare :Erik Noaksson; Lennart Balk; Louis J. Guillette Jr; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fiskar; miljögifter; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : The global economy is driven by the consumption of goods and materials. Used products are often deposited on refuse dumps, making them potential point sources for all man-made chemicals. Water soaking through landfill waste results in a wastewater termed leachate. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Investigation of degradation of toxic substances in fungal cultures by mass spectrometric techniques

    Författare :Åke Stenholm; Mikael Hedeland; Pablo Campo Moreno; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; UHPLC-Q-TOF MS; filamentous fungi; immobilization; polyurethane foam; removal; biodegradation products; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Micropollutants in water are biological or chemical contaminants that are present in ground and surface waters in trace quantities. They are a result of human activity and include pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Male Subfertility and Prostate Cancer Risk: Epidemiological and Genetic Studies

    Författare :Yasir Ruhayel; Malmö Molekylärgenetisk reproduktionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytoplasmic and nuclear; Receptors; Prostatic neoplasms; genetic; Polymorphism; male; Infertility; Hypogonadism; Genetic association studies; Case–control studies; Androgens;

    Sammanfattning : Androgen action plays a pivotal role in male reproductive tract physiology and pathology. The androgen receptor (AR) gene harbors two codon repeat tracts: the CAG and GGN repeats, encoding corresponding amino acid sequences of variable length; the polyglutamine and polyglycine stretches, respectively.

  5. 14. Diverse effects of endocrine-disruptive chemicals on Leydig and adrenocortical cell steroidogenesis in rodents and humans

    Författare :Iuliia Savchuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : We are living in a man-made world and often exposed to different chemicals known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that negatively influence our hormonal system. These compounds have the potential to interrupt a normal steroidogenesis and result in harmful effects on the reproductive health of humans and among other organisms. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Molecular mechanisms of AhR mediated endocrine disruption of estrogen and retinoic acid signalling pathways

    Författare :David Wahlström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Dioxins and similar compounds are toxic substances ubiquitously present in the environment. The most potent dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), is considered to be one of the most toxic compounds known to man. LÄS MER
