Mercury concentration in muscle, bellyfat and liver from Oreochromis niloticus and Lates niloticus consumed in Lake Albert fishing communities in Uganda

Without surveillance studies on mercury (Hg) levels in rjr-00001 predominant fish species and parts eaten in a fishing community, the FAO/WHO guidelines might be surpassed, hence health risk.A monitoring study in a developing country with 29 Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and 34 Lates niloticus (Nile perch) from landing sites provided muscle,

Molecular pathways identified from single nucleotide polymorphisms demonstrate mechanistic differences in systemic lupus erythematosus patients of Asian and European ancestry

Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-organ autoimmune disorder with a prominent genetic component.Individuals of Asian-Ancestry (AsA) disproportionately experience more severe SLE compared to individuals of European-Ancestry (EA), including increased renal involvement and tissue damage.However, the mechanisms underlying elevated s

Genetic connectivity in scleractinian corals across the Northern Gulf of Mexico: oil/gas platforms, and relationship to the Flower Garden Banks.

The 3,000 oil/gas structures currently hp 14a-na0031wm deployed in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide hard substratum for marine organisms in a region where such has been rare since the Holocene.The major exception to this are the Flower Garden Banks (FGB).Corals are known to have colonized oil/gas platforms around the FGB, facilitating biog
