Occurrence of imposex in Thais haemastoma: possible evidence of environmental contamination derived from organotin compounds in Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, Brazil Ocorrência de imposex em Thais haemastoma: possíveis evidências de contaminação ambiental por compostos organotínicos no Rio de Janeiro
There are indications that the widespread use of organotin compounds (TBT and TPT) as antifoulings, as stabilizers in plastic and as pesticides, has severely affected several species of marine organisms. The most striking effect of TBT and TPT as hormonal disruptors is the development of male organs in females of gastropods, currently denominated imposex. This syndrome can lead to the steriliza...
متن کاملRegulation of hepatic nitrogen metabolism in ruminants.
As befits its anatomical position between the sites of nutrient absorption and deposition the liver provides the metabolic hub of the body. Although the present review is confined to the regulation of N substrates it must not be forgotten that both lipid and carbohydrate metabolism are important and interactive components of hepatic function. Furthermore, hepatic production of insulin-like-grow...
متن کاملRegulation of Bone Metabolism
Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...
متن کاملGenetic regulation of nitrogen metabolism in the fungi.
In the fungi, nitrogen metabolism is controlled by a complex genetic regulatory circuit which ensures the preferential use of primary nitrogen sources and also confers the ability to use many different secondary nitrogen sources when appropriate. Most structural genes encoding nitrogen catabolic enzymes are subject to nitrogen catabolite repression, mediated by positive-acting transcription fac...
متن کاملRenal and hepatic nitrogen metabolism in systemic acid base regulation.
Renal and hepatic nitrogen metabolism are linked by an interorgan glutamine flux, coupling both renal ammoniagenesis and hepatic urea production to systemic acid-base regulation. Reconsideration of established pathways and recent observations led to a conceptional change with a movement from a two-organ concept (lungs and kidney) of acid-base balance to a three-or-more organ concept (lungs, kid...
