The CODATwins Project: The Cohort Description of Collaborative Project of Development of Anthropometrical Measures in Twins to Study Macro-Environmental Variation in Genetic and Environmental Effects on Anthropometric Traits
(2015-05-27)
For over 100 years, the genetics of human anthropometric traits has attracted scientific interest. In particular,
height and body mass index (BMI, calculated as kg/m2) have been under intensive genetic research.
However, ...
Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index from infancy to the onset of adulthood: an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts participating in the COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) study
(Elsevier, 2016-07-13)
Background: Both genetic and environmental factors are known to affect body mass index (BMI), but detailed understanding of how their effects differ during childhood and adolescence is lacking. Objectives: We analyzed the ...
Enantioselective Construction of Tetrasubstituted Stereogenic Carbons through Brønsted Base Catalyzed Michael Reactions: α´-Hydroxy Enones as Key Enoate Equivalent
(ACS, 2014-11-25)
Catalytic and asymmetric Michael reactions constitute very powerful tools for the construction of new C–C bonds in synthesis, but most of the reports claiming high selectivity are limited to some specific combinations of ...
α-Hydroxy Ketones as Masked Ester Donors in Brønsted Base-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions to Nitroalkenes
(ChemPubSoc Europe, 2018-02-15)
The Genetic Background of Metabolic Trait Clusters in Children and Adolescents
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017)
Background: It is well known that metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases are correlated, but the
background of this clustering in children is more poorly known than in adults. Thus, we studied the contribution
of ...
Acute toxicity of zinc and arsenic to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi as compared to its coldwater counterpart Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Springer, 2016-07-12)
Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the acute effects of arsenic and zinc to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi. Relative sensitivity with the coldwater species Tubifex tubifex was compared. Implications ...
Derivation of sediment Hg quality standards based on ecological assessment in river basins
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)
The Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) directive was an important improvement of long-term water quality monitoring at the European level, leading to the use of sediments and biota as relevant matrices for assessing ...
Association between birth weight and educational attainment: an individual-based pooled analysis of nine twin cohorts
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05-30)
Background There is evidence that birth weight is
positively associated with education, but it remains
unclear whether this association is explained by familial
environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauteri ...
Sensitivity of macroinvertebrate indicator taxa to metal gradients in mining areas in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
The study of macroinvertebrate communities using a Reference Condition Approach (RCA) is a powerful tool for detecting the impacts of mining activities due to heavy metal contamination in rivers. However, studies on this ...
Baseline tissue levels of trace metals and metalloids to approach ecological threshold concentrations in aquatic macroinvertebrates
(Elsevier, 2018-04-24)
Within the framework of the European Environmental Quality Standards Directive, the biota was recognized as a suitable matrix for monitoring water quality. In the Nalón River basin (North Spain), a catchment subject to ...
