MILPAAHEL-Miljøpåvirkning og helse

Toxicological characterization of selected secondary fungal metabolites in Norwegian grain

Grains are commonly infected with toxigenic fungi, particularly with species of the Fusarium and Alternaria genera. Fusarium fungi are producers of a range of well known mycotoxins as well as less known bioactive metabolites for which little toxicological information exists. Food and feed contai...

MILPAAHEL-Miljøpåvirkning og helse

Environmental exposure to phthalates and Bisphenol A and the development of diabetes and asthma - an in vivo and in vitro study

Asthma, allergy and diabetes increased during the last decades. These diseases are caused by dysfunction of the immune system. Diabetes and allergic diseases could share common underlying immunological mechanisms and environmental causes. Our hypothesis i s that the two groups of chemicals, phtha...

MILJØ2015-Norsk miljøforskning mot 2015

LAND: How to prevent invasion of alien species onto urban hills and coastal heathland ecosystems: Sustaining biodiversity in cultural lands

The coastal heath ecosystem is classified as greatly endangered under the EU Habitats Directive. This is because of land-use changes resulting in a dramatic decrease in the utilisation of outfields for grazing. The threatened heathlands are invaded not on ly by native scrub and trees, but also by...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Studies of salmon phagocytic cells - key cells in cellular immune responses.

We propose to investigate, using functional genomics, the relationship between well-known immunostimulants, activation and function of salmon phagocytic cells. The new input to fish immunology is the use of isolated specific cell populations, especially n eutrophils, a salmonid cell line and phag...

VEFO-Velferd, familie og oppvekst

Barndom - i går, i dag, i morgen

Velferd og livskvalitet for barn er nært knyttet til forståelse av "den gode barndom". I nordiske land sees barndom først og fremst som en livsfase knyttet til utdanning og skole, lek og barnekultur, mens arbeid knyttes til voksne. I barndomsforskningen s tår spørsmål som knytter seg til profesjo...
