2. 1. Proteomics in biomarker research : Insights into the effects of aging and environment on biological systems

   Author : Hanna Amelina; Susana Cristobal; Jean-Charles Sanchez; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteomics; biomarker; peroxisomes; 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis 2-DE ; mass spectrometry MS ; aging; marine pollution; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Environmental toxicology; Miljötoxikologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Proteomics is the global analysis of proteins that covers a broad range of technologies aimed at determining the identity and quantity of proteins expressed in the cell, their three-dimensional structure and interaction partners. In contrast to genome, proteome reflects more accurately on the dynamic state of the cell, tissue, or an organism. READ MORE

4. 2. Proteomic Analysis of Peroxisomal Proteins

   Author : Jia Mi; Susana Cristobal; Bettina Warscheid; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; peroxisome; proteomics; biomarker; aging; pollution assessment; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Peroxisome is a ubiquitous eukaryotic organelle with a single-layer membrane. It maintains various functions that differ depending on the species and cell types, as well as the environmental or developmental conditions. READ MORE

5. 3. From Proteomic Analysis to Biomarker Application - Studies of Carbonyl Reductase in Fish

   Author : Eva Albertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Fish; Proteomics; Biomarker; Carbonyl Reductase; AhR agonists; Oxidative stress; Biomonitoring;

   Abstract : Many anthropogenic substances are present in the aquatic environment, but there is limited information on how this combination of chemicals affects exposed wildlife. To assess the impact of chemicals, a biomarker approach is frequently applied in environmental biomonitoring programmes. READ MORE

6. 4. Urinary Clara cell protein and alpha 1-microglobulin – biomarkers of changes in kidney and airway function

   Author : Lena Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : biomarker; Clara cell 16 kDa protein CC16 ; alpha 1-microglobulin A1M ; ambient air pollution; renal function; pyelonephritis; children;

   Abstract : Validated biomarkers are useful tools for screening large populations. The benefit of screening may be improved risk assessment or early indications of adverse effects before detection or onset of symptoms. READ MORE

7. 5. Oxidative Damage in Fish Used as Biomarkers in Field and Laboratory Studies

   Author : Bethanie Carney Almroth; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; oxidative stress; antioxidant enzymes; glutathione; protein carbonyls; lipid peroxidation; biomarkers; pollution; aging;

   Abstract : Many toxic xenobiotics entering into the aquatic environment exert their effects through redox cycling. Oxidative stress, incorporating both antioxidant defences as well as oxidative damage, is a common effect in organisms exposed to xenobiotics in their environment. READ MORE
