  1. 6. Trophic effects on the maintenance of biodiversity in the Fucus zone

    Författare :Sonja Råberg; Lena Kautsky; Christer Brönmark; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; epiphytes; eutrophication; faunal assemblage; filamentous algae; Fucus radicans; Fucus vesiculosus; grazers; nutrient supply; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Ecologically important macroalgae with large thalli and complex structures are threatened worldwide due to anthropogenic activities such as pollution. In the northern Baltic Sea the salinity is very low; the only large algae producing complex structural habitats found there are the fucoid species Fucus radicans and F. vesiculosus. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Regulation of CGRP expression in rat spinal motoneurons

    Författare :Fredrik Piehl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; motoneuron; axotomy; peptides; CGRP; trophic factor; FGF; IGF; BDNF; CNTF; GAP-43; cell culture; plasticity; mRNAregulation; regeneration;

    Sammanfattning : The normal distribution and lesion-induced changes in the expression of neuropeptides and growth-related proteins, with special reference to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP),were studied in the motor system of the rat. In addition, factors that influence the expression of CGRP in motoneurons were identified. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Food web structures and carbon transfer efficiencies in a brackish water ecosystem

    Författare :Kristin Dahlgren; Ulf Båmstedt; Agneta Andersson; Marja Koski; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon transfer efficiency; Food web efficiency; zooplankton; production; pelagic; benthic; fatty acids; wax esters; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Two differently structured food webs can be distinguished in the pelagic habitat of aquatic systems; the classical one (autotrophic) with phytoplankton as a base and the microbial food web (heterotrophic) with bacteria as a base. Energy (produced at the basal trophic level) reaches higher trophic levels, i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Response of marine food webs to climate-induced changes in temperature and inflow of allochthonous organic matter

    Författare :Rickard Degerman; Agneta Andersson; Risto Lignell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; bacterial production; mesocosm; food web efficiency; Baltic Sea;

    Sammanfattning : Global records of temperature show a warming trend both in the atmosphere and in the oceans. Current climate change scenarios indicate that global temperature will continue to increase in the future. The effects will however be very different in different geographic regions. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Histochemical, biochemical and electrophysiological studies on dorsal root ganglion cultures : focusing on galanin, neuropeptide Y and glutamate

    Författare :Nora Kerekes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute and long-term DRG cultures; aFGF; BDNF; bFGF; bradykinin; excitability; galanin; glutamate; leukemia inhibitory factor; neuropeptide Y; : NGF; regeneration; whole cell patch clamp.;

    Sammanfattning : Galanin (Gal) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are two peptides, which are strongly up- regulated in a population of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons after peripheral nerve injury (axotomy). Both peptides may be involved in the control of pain sensation, especially after nerve injury (neuropathic pain). LÄS MER
