The role of the intestine in the osmoregulation of the European eel
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisEuropean silver eels 378g ± 11 (SEM) were transferred freshwater - freshwater and freshwater - seawater, their blood sampled and plasma ions, osmolality and circulating concentrations of Cortisol and ANG-II measured to ... -
Appetitive associative conditioning in the basolateral amygdala
(University of St Andrews, 2005) - ThesisThis thesis is concerned with the neural basis of appetitive associative conditioning or 'reward learning' in rats. Research has implicated several brain structures within what is known as the cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic ... -
In situ' analysis of the biomass and distribution of microphytobenthos
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisThis thesis investigates the use of fluorescence techniques for the remote sensing of microphytobenthic biomass and distribution. Firstly, hardware was developed to facilitate the use of fluorometry for measuring ... -
Aspects of the distribution of Na⁺,K⁺ ATPase in cultured cells with particular reference to the effects of fluid shear stress
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisA two-part study was conducted into aspects of the distribution of Na⁺,K⁺ATPase α1 and β-1subunits in HeLa and bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). The primary experimental emphasis was to examine Na⁺,K⁺ATPase distribution ... -
The effect of exercise on muscle growth and muscle-specific gene expression in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum)
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisForced exercise training has long been known to be a powerful stimulus for muscle growth in several families of teleosts. The effect of exercise on muscle growth in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) was studied in five ...
