    • Dietary methylmercury alters the proteome in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) kidney 

      Nøstbakken, Ole Jakob; Martin, Samuel A. M.; Cash, Phillip; Torstensen, Bente Elisabeth; Amlund, Heidi; Olsvik, Pål A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-12-19)
      Background: Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental contaminant most known for its severe neurotoxic effects. Although accumulation of MeHg tends to be several folds higher in kidney compared to other tissues, studies on ...

    • Evaluation of potential reference genes in real-time RT-PCR studies of Atlantic salmon 

      Olsvik, Pål A.; Lie, Kai Kristoffer; Olderbakk Jordal, Anne-Lise; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Hordvik, Ivar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005)
      Background: Salmonid fishes are among the most widely studied model fish species but reports on systematic evaluation of reference genes in qRT-PCR studies is lacking. Results: The stability of six potential reference genes ...

    • Genome-wide transcription analysis of histidine-related cataract in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) 

      Tröße, Christiane; Waagbø, Rune; Breck, Olav; Stavrum, Anne-Kristin; Petersen, Kjell; Olsvik, Pål A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-07-09)
      Purpose: Elevated levels of dietary histidine have previously been shown to prevent or mitigate cataract formation in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L). The aim of this study was to shed light on the mechanisms by ...

    • Spatial transcription of CYP1A in fish liver 

      Olsvik, Pål A.; Lie, Kai K.; Sæle, Øystein; Sanden, Monica (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-12-05)
      Background: The aim of this work was to study how evenly detoxifying genes are transcribed spatially in liver tissue of fish. Ten Atlantic salmon Salmo salar were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg of the strong CYP1A ...
