Evaluation of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) as a model for carcinogenesis

Creator:

Tsai, Hsi-Wen

Abstract:

Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are small, freshwater teleost fishes in the family Cyprinidae, the true minnows. They are native to the tropical latitudes of India, but have become widespread through their use as aquarium fish and as models for several branches of biological research. Their ease of rearing, short generation time,...

Selenoprotein W : distribution and function in rat tissue and cultured cells

Creator:

Sun, Yu, 1963-

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to further determine the distribution of selenoprotein W (SeW) in tissues from rats and sheep fed different selenium levels and to search for the possible functions of this protein. In the rat study a total of 28 rat tissues were examined and SeW was...

Involvement of inflammation and associated Mac-1⁺Gr-1⁺ cells in the immune suppression induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)

Creator:

Choi, Jin-Young, 1964

Abstract:

Exposure to TCDD suppresses the generation of immune responses through unknown mechanisms. Interestingly, TCDD enhances inflammatory responses to various stimuli. The goal of the studies presented in this thesis was to examine the role of hyperinflammation in TCDD-induced immunotoxicity. Previously we observed an increase in Mac-1⁺ cells in the spleen...
