  2. 1. Functional Genomics of Bone Metabolism : Novel Candidate Genes Identified by Studies in Chicken Models

    Author : Carl-Johan Rubin; Andreas Kindmark; Östen Ljunggren; Leif Andersson; David Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular medicine; QTL; Bone; Osteoporosis; Gene expression; Microarray; Domestication; Molekylärmedicin;

    Abstract : Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to decreased bone mineral density (BMD), an altered bone micro-architecture and fragile bones. The disease is highly heritable and numerous genes are thought to be involved, making it difficult to identify the causative genetic elements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interaction between Calcium, Calciotropic Hormones and the Gastrin-ECL-cell Axis

    Author : Rebecca Gagnemo Persson; Hälsofrämjande komplexa interventioner; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; rat; chicken; parathyroid gland; stomach; vitamin D; PTH; CT; calciotropic hormones; Gastrin; calcium; ECL cell; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Histology; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture; Histologi; cytokemi; histokemi; vävnadskultur;

    Abstract : Calcium homeostasis involves mainly the interaction of PTH, vitamin D and CT. The stomach may be important for calcium homeostasis. Gastric acid is thought to mobilize calcium from the diet, thereby facilitating the absorption of calcium in the small intestines. READ MORE

  5. 3. Genomics of chicken domestication and feralisation

    Author : Martin Johnsson; Dominic Wright; Per Jensen; Dirk-Jan de Koning; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Domestication can serve as a study system of rapid evolutionary change with wide-ranging effects on traits in animals. The chicken was domesticated from the Red Junglefowl and has diverged in behaviour, morphology and life history traits. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantitative genetics of gene expression and methylation in the chicken

    Author : Andrey Höglund; Dominic Wright; Per Jensen; Rie Henriksen; Kees van Oers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In quantitative genetics the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is investigated. The identification of these variants can bring improvements to selective breeding, allow for transgenic techniques to be applied in agricultural settings and assess the risk of polygenic diseases.

  7. 5. Isolation and characterization of regulatory peptides and bioactive compounds

    Author : Åke Norberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Isolation of peptides and other bioactive compounds is an important and often necessary step to get the total information about their structures. This is demonstrated by a number of different characterizations in this thesis. READ MORE
