Biomarkers of oxidative stress in models of schizophrenia. (2007)
Thesis
YOUNG, J., 2007. Biomarkers of oxidative stress in models of schizophrenia. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Increasing evidence indicates that oxidative injury exists in schizophrenia. Although it may not be the main cause, oxidative damage has been suggested to contribute to the pathophysiology and may account for deteriorating course and poor outcome in...

Evaluation of the quality of individual quick frozen fish products. (2007)
Thesis
SEREMETI, M.M. 2007. Evaluation of the quality of individual quick frozen fish products. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In the present study the effects of characteristic freezing times and storage time at -22°C on the quality of the adductor muscle of post-rigor scallops (Pecten maximus)and gilthead seabream fillets (Sparusa urata) were studied in regard to the inte...

An investigation into factors influencing the production and degradation of microcystins. (2007)
Thesis
GRAHAM, D.J.L. 2007. An investigation into factors influencing the production and degradation of microcystins. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Microcystins (MCYST) potently inhibit protein phosphatases and these cyclic heptapeptides are powerful hepatotoxins. They are known to be secondary metabolites produced by several species of cyanobacteria. The release of these peptides into water sup...

Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin. (2007)
Thesis
BELLU, E. 2007. Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

A significant issue affecting the aquaculture and water industries is the presence of off-flavour compounds in water, which cause problems by imparting an undesirable earthy/musty flavour and smell to water and fish. Two predominant off-flavour compo... Read More about Detection, analysis, and photocatalytic destruction of the freshwater taint compound geosmin..

Molecular mechanisms of nutrient mediated regulation of hypoxia inducible factor -1a(HIF-1a) in endothelial cells. (2007)
Thesis
HECTOR, E.E. 2007. Molecular mechanisms of nutrient mediated regulation of hypoxia inducible factor -1a(HIF-1a) in endothelial cells. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus is associated with the development of chronic vascular complications, which cause morbidity and premature mortality. Many studies have highlighted that maintenance of normal blood glucose levels in all people with...
