1. Strategies for Monitoring of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Aquatic Environment
Sammanfattning : The protein biomarker vitellogenin in fish is discussed alongside alterative strategies for monitoring of endocrine disrupting chemicals. The first objective was to find a cheap, robust and generic method for the quantification of vitellogenin. LÄS MER
2. 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
3. Reproductive physiology of the female three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus
Sammanfattning : Reproduction in vertebrates, including fishes, is under control of the brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis. The female three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, produces egg clutches at intervals of a few days and spawns them in a nest built by male. LÄS MER
4. Interactions between cytochrome P450 and estrogenic compounds in fish
Sammanfattning : DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Hasselberg, Linda. Interactions between cytochrome P450 and estrogenic compounds in fish. Department of Zoophysiology, Göteborg University, Box 463, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden Contamination by various pollutions is an environmental concern. LÄS MER
5. Teleost reproduction: Aspects of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) oocyte growth and maturation
Sammanfattning : In all vertebrate species, reproduction is a hormonally controlled process, important for growth and maturation of gonads and germ cells. Production of functional germ cells is of outmost importance to secure the survival of a species. Fish comprises 50% of the known vertebrates and are found in aquatic habitats all over the world.
