  1. 6. A PCOS-like Drosophila Melanogaster model

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande; Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Författare :Aisha Badji; [2019]
    Nyckelord :polycystic; ovary; syndrome; testosterone; drosophila; melanogaster;

    Sammanfattning : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrine disorder defined by high androgen levels and presence of polycystic ovaries. PCOS is characterized by menstrual irregularities, anovulation, infertility, hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, chronic inflammation and increased hair growth. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Polycystic ovary syndrome : A Drosophila Melanogaster Melanogaster disease model induced by DHT and/or high sugar diet

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Författare :Andreas Mlekov Andersson; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Polycystic ovary syndrome; PCOS; DHT; high sugar diet; drosophila melanogaster;

    Sammanfattning : Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder with symptoms of hyperandrogenism, insulin-resistance and anovulation in women which creates a disposition for other disorders, like Type 2 Diabetes. Drosophila Melanogaster flies have short generation, low cost-management and share several signaling pathways with humans and are therefore an excellent tools to study disease aetiology – yet no such model exists for PCOS.

  4. 8. Factors explaining variation in the fecundity of female Baltic salmon (Salmo salar) : the influence of length, body condition and growth rate at sea

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Författare :Ulrika Tollerz Bratteby; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Atlantic salmon; Baltic Sea; fecundity; body size; body condition; growth rate; scale reading;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding factors influencing variation in fecundity is crucial to manage Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in the Baltic Sea. Larger individuals usually have a higher size-specific reproductive investment than smaller individuals, thus leading to a higher fecundity. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The effect of sexual selection and mating on personality traits and behavior consistency of Callosobruchus maculatus

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Jiaqi Lu; [2019]
    Nyckelord :seed beetles; sexual selection; mating; personality traits;

    Sammanfattning : Animals’ personality traits are defined as consistent behavior tendencies and the function of them in life-history strategy and reproductive success has been given a lot of explanations in a large amount of research. However, the behavior consistency of individuals in different sexes, mating status and selection regimes is rarely mentioned. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Effects of global warming on Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) in the Baltic Sea : does the growth response to increased temperatures differ along a latitudinal gradient?

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Författare :Mattias Grunander; [2018]
    Nyckelord :body-length at age; growth; size dependent growth; Perca fluviatilis; climate change; temperature; Baltic Sea; latitude;

    Sammanfattning : Anthropogenically caused climate change, i.e. global warming, is anticipated to affect all living organisms. Particularly ectotherms are predicted to show strong responses to the increased warming, as their body temperature closely tracks ambient temperatures and because body temperature profoundly affects many physiological functions e.
