DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MICROPLASTICS ON FRESHWATER PREY (CORBICULA FLUMINEA) AND THEIR PREDATOR (ACIPENSER TRANSMONTANUS).

Direct and indirect effects of different types of microplastics on freshwater prey (Corbicula fluminea) and their predator (Acipenser transmontanus).

We examined whether environmentally relevant concentrations of different types of microplastics, with or without PCBs, directly affect freshwater prey and indirectly affect their predators.Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), glitter foam vellen action polyethy

Evaluation of microRNA-192 in patients with diabetic nephropathy

Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of kidney failure.The role 30x24x24 wall cabinet of microRNAs (miRs) which are endogenous RNA oligonucleotides that regulate gene expression in DN is not yet clearly established.This study was designed to evaluate the blood level of miR-192 and its relation to disease severity in patients wi
