Journal ArticleDOI
Parental exposure to gamma radiation causes progressively altered transcriptomes linked to adverse effects in zebrafish offspring
Selma Hurem,Leonardo Martín,Leif Christopher Lindeman,Dag Anders Brede,Brit Salbu,Jan Ludvig Lyche,Peter Aleström,Jorke H. Kamstra +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of gamma radiation exposure on gene expression in zebrafish offspring were investigated using mRNA sequencing, and the results indicated latent effects following ionizing radiation exposure from the lower dose in parents that can be transmitted to offspring and warrants monitoring effects over subsequent generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo assessment of reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress effects induced by chronic exposure to gamma radiation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Erica Maremonti,Dag Markus Eide,Lisa M. Rossbach,Ole Christian Lind,Brit Salbu,Dag Anders Brede +5 more
TL;DR: Exposure to gamma radiation caused reprotoxic effects, with >20% reduction in the number of offspring per adult hermaphrodite at dose-rates ≥40 mGy h-1, accompanied by the down-regulation of more than 300 genes related to reproductive system, apoptosis, meiotic functions and gamete development and fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-analytical characterisation of radioactive heterogeneities in samples from Central Asian TENORM sites.
TL;DR: The results suggested that TENORM particles can carry substantial amount of radioactivity, which can be subject to re-suspension, atmospheric transport and water transport, and the potential radioecological and radioanalytical impact of radioactive particles at NORM and TENorM sites worldwide should be taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation-induced bystander effects in the Atlantic salmon (salmo salar L.) following mixed exposure to copper and aluminum combined with low-dose gamma radiation
Carmel Mothersill,Richard W. Smith,Lene Sørlie Heier,Hans-Christian Teien,Ole Christian Lind,Colin Seymour,Deborah Oughton,Brit Salbu +7 more
TL;DR: Fish exposed to cobalt 60 gamma irradiation with or without copper or aluminum in the water showed complex synergistic interactions of radiation and copper, and co-exposure to radiation and heavy metals does not always lead to simple additive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake and effects of 2, 4, 6 - trinitrotoluene (TNT) in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
Espen Mariussen,Espen Mariussen,Siv Marie Stornes,Kari Oline Bøifot,B.O. Rosseland,Brit Salbu,Lene Sørlie Heier +6 more
TL;DR: The rapid excretion and estimated bioconcentration factors (range of 2-18 after 48h in gills, blood, liver, kidney, muscle and brain) indicated a low potential for bioaccumulation of TNT.
