(Master thesis, 2013-08-07)There is a growing interest in assessing human health effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and several studies have reported in vitro or in vivo effects related to cancer. The main aim of this study was to ... -
Effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on the steroidogenesis of primary neonatal porcine Leydig cells
(PhD thesis;2019:7, Doctoral thesis, 2019)After World War II the production of manmade chemicals has increased immensely. They are made to give desired practical properties and functions. Some are added to consumer products to provide conductivity, increase flame ... -
Effects of petrogenic pollutants on North Atlantic and Arctic Calanus copepods: From molecular mechanisms to population impacts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Oil and gas industries in the Northern Atlantic Ocean have gradually moved closer to the Arctic areas, a process expected to be further facilitated by sea ice withdrawal caused by global warming. Copepods of the genus ... -
Effects of pH on steam explosion extraction of acetylated galactoglucomannan from Norway spruce
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Acetylated galactoglucomannan (AcGGM) is a complex hemicellulose found in softwoods such as Norway spruce (Picea abies). AcGGM has a large potential as a biorefinery feedstock and source of oligosaccharides for ... -
Effects of plant-plant interactions on the performance and abundance of Campanula uniflora in Dovre, Norway
