The Nuclear Pore Complex: Birth, Life, and Death of a Cellular Behemoth
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the only transport channels that cross the nuclear envelope. Constructed from ~500–1000 nucleoporin proteins each, they are among the largest macromolecular assemblies in eukaryotic cells. ... -
Nuclear receptor targets for environmental pollutants. Modulation of transcriptional activity of pregnane x receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in polar bears and zebrafish
(Doctoral thesis, 2016)Liganded nuclear receptors can be viewed as transcriptional dimmers whose activity is adjusted by molecular signals. Since the chemical footprint of humans continue to increase, the numbers of chemicals in the environment ... -
Nuclear upregulation of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110β correlates with high 47S rRNA levels in cancer cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunits p110α and p110β are ubiquitously expressed but differently targeted in tumours. In cancer, PIK3CB (encoding p110β) is seldom mutated compared with PIK3CA ... -
Nucleolar roles of the PI3K pathway in cancer and differentiation
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-18)The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is essential for many cellular functions including; proliferation, cell survival, differentiation and metabolism. Although this pathway has been well studied in the cytoplasm, ... -
Nutrient and chemical contaminant levels in five marine fish species from Angola—The EAF-Nansen programme
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fish is a rich source of several important nutrients and an important part of the otherwise plant-dominated diet present in Angola. However, fish may also be a source of contaminants. The aim of this study was to analyse ... -
Nutrient Digestibility, Growth, Mucosal Barrier Status, and Activity of Leucocytes From Head Kidney of Atlantic Salmon Fed Marine- or Plant-Derived Protein and Lipid Sources
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-19)Nutrient digestibility, growth, and mucosal barrier status of fish skin, gills, and distal intestine were studied in Atlantic salmon fed feeds based on marine or plant-derived ingredients. The barrier status was assessed ... -
Nutrient fuxes from an Arctic seabird colony to the adjacent coastal marine ecosystem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Seabirds are important vectors for nutrient transfer across ecosystem boundaries. In this seasonal study, we evaluate the impact of an Arctic colony (Alkhornet, Svalbard) of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and ... -
Nutrient pathways through the microbial food web: principles and predictability discussed, based on five different experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-11)Although explanatory and predictive powers are 2 closely interconnected aspects of conceptual and mathematical models of complex systems, the two are not equivalent. The 2 aspects are discussed here for the microbial part ... -
Nutrient use by tropical ant communities varies among three extensive elevational gradients: A cross-continental comparison
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim: Many studies demonstrate that climate limits invertebrates along tropical elevational gradients, but we have only a rudimentary understanding of the role of nutrient limitation and climatic seasonality. Here we examined ... -
Nutrigenomic study of lipid metabolism in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) : the effects of dietary plant oil inclusion
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-09-08)The two dietary trials conducted in the present study (Papers I-III) used dietary rapeseed oil fed in a regression design and a full plant oil blend replacement for fish oil, respectively. The metabolic response of Atlantic ... -
Nutritional and environmental impacts on skin and mucus condition in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-10-09)The skin and associated mucus layer of Atlantic salmon constitutes its first line of defence against the aqueous environment. Through intensive farming, a range of stressors including both mechanical and environmental ... -
Nutritional composition and heavy metal content in Sardinella maderensis, Decapterus rhoncus, Sardinella aurita, Trachurus trecae and Sphyraena guachancho off the coast of Angola
(Master thesis, 2018-11-20)In sub-Saharan Africa approximately 224 million people are undernourished (FAO, 2017a). Fish play an important role in enhancing the nutritional status and food security in Africa and is an important source of protein and ... -
Observation on the survival of Francisella noatunensis in water and in blue mussel (Mytilus edulis)
(Master thesis, 2009-06-09)Francisellosis was discovered in farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the western parts of Norway in 2004. The bacterium Francisella noatunensis was identified as the causative agent. Today, francisellosis is known as one ... -
Observer agreement of imaging measurements used for evaluation of dentofacial deformity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives: To examine the precision of imaging measures commonly used to assess mandibular morphology in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Secondly, to compare cone-beam computed tomography ... -
The occurrence of biomineralisation products in four lichen species growing on sandstone in western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)High performance thin-layer chromatography/thin-layer chromatography, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy analysis of thallus and lichen-rock interface samples, were undertaken to characterize biomineralization ... -
