The effects of copper, calcium, and nickel on the olfactory response of fathead minnows: from neurophysiology to behaviour
(2014-01-22)
The olfactory system is essential for a fish to be successful in an ecological context, and has been demonstrated to be sensitive to a variety of toxicants. The current biotic ligand model (BLM) for copper is an acute-toxicity ...
Characterizing the microbial degradation of kraft lignin and lignin-derived compounds
(2014-12-12)
Analytical methods for characterizing the microbial degradation of Kraft lignin
and lignin-derived compounds were utilized with the goal of biologically generating
demethylated lignin for subsequent industrial applications. ...
Metal induced olfactory impairment in fish: gene expression, protection and recovery
(2014)
To play their ecological role in an ecosystem, a fully functioning olfactory system is vital
for fishes. A fish's olfactory system is very sensitive to low concentrations of contaminants. A great deal of research has ...
Cross-talk of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide in vascular endothelial cells
(2014)
Gasotransmitters, like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO), are small gaseous molecules that can be generated in different types of mammalian cells by enzymatic catalyzation. Cystathionine y-lyase (CSE) and ...
