A statistical investigation into the sharing of common genetic factors between blood pressure and obesity phenotypes in nuclear families from the Greater Bilbao (Spain)
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2010)
Objectives: Several obesity phenotypes (e.g. body mass and fat, fat distribution) have been suggested to be a risk for elevated blood pressure. This study was undertaken to determine the heritability of four blood pressure ...
Variable Capacity for Acute and Chronic Thermal Compensation of Physiological Rates Contributes to Inter-Individual Differences in Growth Rate in Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09)
The aim of this study was to ascertain if the capacity for acute and chronic compensation of thermal effects on physiological rates represents a trait contributing to inter-individual growth rate differences in the mussel ...
Macrozooplankton predation impact on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) eggs mortality at the Bay of Biscay shelf break spawning centre
(Oxford University Press, 2014-11-23)
A real-time PCR based method involving a species-specific probe was applied to detect Engraulis encrasicolus eggs predation by the macrozooplank-
ton community during the 2011 spawning season. Three locations along the ...
A real-time PCR assay to estimate invertebrate and fish predation on anchovy eggs in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2014-12-12)
In order to investigate the role of predation on eggs and larvae in the recruitment of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and 52 macrozooplankton taxa were assayed for ...
Does neutral red suit the requirements of being a reliable indicator in clearance rate measurements of suspension-feeding bivalves? An empirical refutation
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)
One basic requirement in the measurements of feeding rates in suspension-feeding bivalves when using clearance methods is that the suspended particles that are used in the determination of these rates must reach size ...
Physiological processes modulate acute and chronic responses to dietary protein/energy ratio fluctuations in individuals and families of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) selected for variable growth rates
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
A range of phenotypes differing in growth rate were designed in the Manila clam by combining separate breeding families with size segregation within each family to constitute fast and slow growing groups. Physiological ...
Allometric size-scaling of biometric growth parameters and metabolic and excretion rates. A comparative study of intertidal and subtidal populations of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Allometric relationships between biometric parameters (i.e., soft body and shell weights and shell organic content vs. shell length) as well as for routine and standard metabolic and ammonia excretion rates related to flesh ...
A global survey of CRM1-dependent nuclear export sequences in the human deubiquitinase family
(Portland Press LTD, 2012-01-01)
The mechanisms that regulate the nucleocytoplasmic localization of human deubiquitinases remain largely unknown. The nuclear export receptor CRM1 binds to specific amino acid motifs termed NESs (nuclear export sequences). ...
Molecular characterisation defines clinically-actionable heterogeneity within Group 4 medulloblastoma and improves disease risk-stratification
(Springer, 2023-05)
Group 4 tumours (MBGrp4) represent the majority of non-WNT/non-SHH medulloblastomas. Their clinical course is poorly predicted by current risk-factors. MBGrp4 molecular substructures have been identified (e.g. subgroups/ ...
Celiac Diasease-associated lncRNA Named HCG14 Regulates NOD1 Expression in Intestinal Cells
(Wiley, 2018-08-01)
Objective:
The aim of the study is to identify additional celiac disease associated loci in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) independent from classical HLA risk alleles (HLA-DR3-DQ2) and to characterize their ...
