Furthermore, results suggest that the Bufo boreas alarm response can be elicited by a natural predator when it feeds on...

Sulforaphane Regulation of LncRNA in a Transplacental Nrf2 Knockout Mouse Model Exposed to Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene

Creator:: Patel, Karan A.
Abstract:: Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a highly potent, but less prevalent, environmental carcinogen belonging to a class of compounds known as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). They are highly ubiquitous and arise as a byproduct of natural and anthropogenic combustion processes. Previous studies have documented carcinogenic effects upon in utero exposure of PAHs....
