Generational Effects of Bisphenol A on Growth and Stress Performance in Rainbow Trout
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-25)The aquatic environment is severely impacted by xenobiotics that are released due to anthropogenic activities, threatening ecosystem health. Some of these contaminants accumulate in lipophilic fish tissues and are maternally ... -
GPCR and RTK Regulation in Neurons: The Impact of Stress on GPCR and RTK signalling and Crosstalk
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-14)Crosstalk between receptors allows for the integration of diverse and complex signalling pathways. Transactivation is a form of crosstalk between G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). ... -
Impact of the antidepressant venlafaxine on the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal axis function in rainbow trout
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-27)Over the recent years, venlafaxine has become the predominant antidepressant drug detected in municipal wastewater effluents (MWWE) and aquatic systems. However, very little is known about the effect of this drug in the ... -
MicroRNAs and their role within the teleost (Oncorhynchus mykiss) stress response
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)The stress response is a highly conserved signalling cascade that signals between tissues to increase energy availability. Changes in glucose regulation are studied extensively due to the glucose intolerant phenotype of ... -
Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ... -
The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Zebrafish Development
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-28)These studies present a series of novel roles for glucocorticoid signaling in the developing zebrafish embryo. The best-characterized roles of cortisol, the primary circulating corticosteroid in teleost fish, are known to ... -
Stress Physiology of Bears: Cortisol Dynamics and Identification of Novel Serum Proteins
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-19)There is a need to understand how free-ranging animals respond and adapt to stress. However, little is currently known regarding the physiologic adaptations to stress in bears, and there are few tools available to wildlife ...
