  4. 2. Control of bioluminescence. Operating the light switch in photophores from marine animals

    Author : Jenny Krönström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioluminescence; physiological control; nitric oxide; krill; fish;

    Abstract : Physiologically controlled photocytes, capable of producing bioluminescence, are a common feature in the ocean among animals ranging from cnidarians to fish. The aim of this thesis was to study and compare the nature of this control, in both distantly and closely related species from the groups Teleostei Crustacea, and Cnidaria. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of Antioxidant and Lipid Lowering Treatment on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease : With special reference to Mixed Tocopherols and Stable Fish Oil

    Author : Meilin Liu; Afaf Kamal-Eldin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Cardiovascular disease; Antioxidants; Tocopherols; Endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase; Superoxide dismutase; Protein kinase C; Fish oils; Fatty acids; Simvastatin; Lipoprotein; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine;

    Abstract : Vitamin E in food, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and lipid lowering treatment with statins have been found to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiac death. However, clinical trials revealed no beneficial effect of intake of alpha-tocopherol alone. READ MORE

  6. 4. Signaling for color change in melanophores : and a biosensor application

    Author : Annika M. Karlsson; Samuel Svensson; Margareta Wallin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : color change; melanophores; tyrosine; phosphorylations; melatonin; nitric oxide; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Melanophores are dark brown pigment cells located in the skin of fish, amphibia, reptiles, and many invertebrates. The color of the animal can change via rearrangement of pigment granules, melanosomes, in the cells. The dark melanophores can either hide colorful cells so that the animal appears dark, or let through colors from underneath. READ MORE
