Environmental contaminants modulate the transcriptional activity of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA)

Routti, Heli Anna Irmeli; Berg, Mari Katrine; Lille-Langøy, Roger; Øygarden, Lene Eidsvik; Harju, Mikael; Dietz, Rune; Sonne, Christian; Goksøyr, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alfa (PPARA/NR1C1) is a ligand activated nuclear receptor that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism in tissues with high fatty acid catabolism such as the liver. Here, we cloned ...
Polar bear adipose tissue-derived stem cells as an in vitro model for effects of environmental contaminants on adipogenesis

Øygarden, Lene Eidsvik (Master thesis, 2015-09-03)

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is currently listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN red list, mainly due to the predicted decline in sea ice caused by global warming. Polar bears are dependent on sea ice for hunting ...
