TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a resource of 700 transcriptomes from marine microbial eukaryotes to help understand their role in the world's oceans and their biology, evolution, and ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of Toxoplasma: Clues from the study of sea otters as sentinels of Toxoplasma gondii flow into the marine environment *
Patricia A. Conrad,Melissa A. Miller,C. Kreuder,Erick R. James,Jonna A. K. Mazet,Haydee A. Dabritz,D.A Jessup,Frances M. D. Gulland,Michael E. Grigg +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation into the processes promoting T. gondii infections in sea otters will provide a better understanding of terrestrial parasite flow and the emergence of disease at the interface between wildlife, domestic animals and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
ABCA1 mRNA and protein distribution patterns predict multiple different roles and levels of regulation
Cheryl L. Wellington,Elizabeth K.-Y. Walker,Agripina Suarez,Anita Kwok,Nagat Bissada,Roshni R. Singaraja,Yu-Zhou Yang,Lin-Hua Zhang,Erick R. James,Janet E. Wilson,Omar L. Francone,Bruce M. McManus,Michael R. Hayden +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ABCA1 protein levels are up-regulated specifically in the liver after exposure to an atherogenic diet for 7 days, supporting a major role for the liver in dietary modulation of HDL-C levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased ABCA1 activity protects against atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Although the increase in plasma HDL cholesterol levels was small, HDL particles from BAC(+)ApoE(-/-) mice were significantly better acceptors of cholesterol and phospholipid levels were correlated significantly with their ability to enhance cholesterol efflux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type X Toxoplasma gondii in a wild mussel and terrestrial carnivores from coastal California: new linkages between terrestrial mammals, runoff and toxoplasmosis of sea otters.

TL;DR: Type X T. gondii strains with Type X alleles were identified from two mountain lions, a bobcat and a fox residing in coastal watersheds adjacent to sea otter habitat near Monterey Bay and Estero Bay and supports the hypotheses that feline faecal contamination is flowing from land to sea through surface runoff, and that otters can be infected with T. Gondii via consumption of filter-feeding marine invertebrates.
