  2. 1. Biomarkers for DNA damage in human biomonitoring

    Author : Natalia Kotova; Dag Jenssen; Jan Grawé; Lilianne Abramsson-Zetterberg; Mats Ljungman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : biomonitoring; biomarkers; DNA damage; cancer; diet; UV-light; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Genomic DNA in humans is constantly exposed to different kinds of damage. Therefore, it is desirable to implement methods for detecting and measuring of inflicted body burden. Human biomonitoring (HBM) can here be a useful tool as a link between environmental exposure and disease outcome. READ MORE

  4. 2. Basal and Pollutant-induced Expression of CYP1A, 1B and 1C isoforms in Fish : Implications for Biomonitoring

    Author : Kai Gao; Ingvar Brandt; Maria E. Jönsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Aquatic wildlife are exposed to contaminants in their natural habitats, and toxic pollutants may induce toxicity in sensitive target tissues and cells. There is therefore a need to establish biomarkers to determine exposure to certain classes of contaminants and the subsequent biological responses. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation of Biomarker Responses in Fish : with Special Emphasis on Gill EROD Activity

    Author : Carin Andersson; Jan Örberg; Björn Brunström; Lars Förlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; three-spined stickleback; biomarker; EROD; ethynylestradiol; gill; vitellogenin; spiggin; CYP1A inducers; humic substances; sperm quality; biomonitoring; Biologi;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Human Exposure Biomarkers of Some Commonly Used Pesticides

    Author : Moosa Faniband; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; exposure biomarker; Biomonitoring; Pesticides; human experimental exposures; Mass Spectrometry;

    Abstract : The use of pesticides has caused pollution of surface and groundwater, soil and air across the world. Many pesticides cause health effects in humans. General populations are exposed to some degree and diet is reported to be a main source of exposure. READ MORE
