Associations between serum taurine concentrations in mothers and neonates and the children's anthropometrics and early neurodevelopment: Results from the Seychelles Child Development Study, Nutrition Cohort 2
Beggan, Laura A.; Mulhern, Maria S.; Mæhre, Hanne; McSorley, Emeir M.; Yeates, Alison J.; Zavez, Alexis; Thurston, Sally W.; Shamlaye, Conrad; van Wijngaarden, Edwin; Davidson, Philip W.; Myers, Gary J.; Strain, J.J.; Elvevoll, Edel Oddny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-25)Background: High concentrations of taurine are present in the developing human brain and maternal breast milk. Taurine is thought to influence fetal growth and brain development based on experimental rodent studies. As fish is an important dietary source of taurine, we investigated associations between taurine concentrations and child outcomes in a high fish consuming population.<p> <p>Objective: ... -
Sub-arctic mosses and lichens show idiosyncratic responses to combinations of winter heatwaves, freezing and nitrogen deposition
Bokhorst, Stef; Bjerke, Jarle W.; Phoenix, Gareth K.; Jaakola, Laura; Mæhre, Hanne; Tømmervik, Hans (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-25)Arctic ecosystems are increasingly exposed to extreme climatic events throughout the year, which can affect species performance. Cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens) provide important ecosystem services in polar ecosystems but may be physiologically affected or killed by extreme events. Through field and laboratory manipulations, we compared physiological responses of seven dominant sub-Arctic ...
