Xenobiotic metabolism and its physiological consequences in high‑Antarctic Notothenioid fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Antarctic ecosystem is progressively exposed to anthropogenic contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). So far, it is largely unknown if PAHs leave a mark in the physiology of high-Antarctic fish. ... -
Younger Dryas ice margin retreat triggered by ocean surface warming in central-eastern Baffin Bay
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-18)The transition from the last ice age to the present-day interglacial was interrupted by the Younger Dryas (YD) cold period. While many studies exist on this climate event, only few include high-resolution marine records ... -
The zebrafish cationic amino acid transporter/glycoprotein-associated family: sequence and spatiotemporal distribution during development of the transport system b 0,+ (slc3a1/slc7a9)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)System b0,+ absorbs lysine, arginine, ornithine, and cystine, as well as some (large) neutral amino acids in the mammalian kidney and intestine. It is a heteromeric amino acid transporter made of the heavy subunit SLC3A1/rBAT ... -
The zebrafish genome encodes the largest vertebrate repertoire of functional aquaporins with dual paralogy and substrate specificities similar to mammals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-02-11)Background: Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living organisms. In ... -
The zebrafish homeobox gene Hox(zf-114): primary structure, expression pattern and evolutionary aspects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1992)It is gradually becoming accepted that vertebrate homeobox genes, like their counterparts in Drosophila, are crucial for normal development of the embryo. Most vertebrate homeoboxes reported so far are related to the ... -
Zinc uptake in fish intestinal epithelial model RTgutGC: Impact of media ion composition and methionine chelation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12)Apical uptake of zinc as ionic Zn(II) or as Zn-methionine (Zn-Met) was studied in RTgutGC cell line in vitro under media compositions mirroring the gut luminal ionic concentration of freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) ... -
Zooplankton (Cladocera, Ostracoda), Chironomidae and other benthic faunal remains in sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes: the CASSARINA Project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Palaeolimnological studies were carried out on sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes. The lakes represented a variety of habitats ranging from freshwater to mixohaline conditions and with and without direct ... -
Zooplankton abundance and distribution around on a seamount in the Andaman Sea, Thailand, measured with acoustic methods and biological sampling
(Master thesis, 2011-08-30)Studies of abundance and distribution of zooplankton with acoustic instruments is new methodology in Thailand. In order to evaluate if the zooplankton could be detected and measured, a specific area around a seamount in ... -

α-lactalbumin: oleic acid complex spontaneously delivers oleic acid to artificial and erythrocyte membranes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-19)Human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a tumoricidal complex consisting of human α-lactalbumin and multiple oleic acids (OAs). OA has been shown to play a key role in the activity of HAMLET and its ...
