    • High concentrations of lead (Pb) in blood and milk of free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Scandinavia 

      Fuchs, Boris; Thiel, Alexandra; Zedrosser, Andreas; Brown, Ludovick; Hydeskov, Helle Bernstorf; Rodushkin, Ilia; Evans, Alina; Boesen, Amanda Høyer; Græsli, Anne Randi; Kindberg, Jonas; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Exposure to lead (Pb) is a global health problem for both humans and wildlife. Despite a dramatic decline in human Pb exposure following restrictions of leaded gasoline and industry and thereby an overall reduction of Pb ...

    • Metabolic reprogramming involving glycolysis in the hibernating brown bear skeletal muscle 

      Chazarin, Blandine; Storey, Kenneth B.; Ziemianin, Anna; Chanon, Stéphanie; Plumel, M.; Chery, Isabelle; Durand, Christine; Evans, Alina; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Swenson, Jon; Gauquelin-Koch, Guillemette; Simon, Chantal; Blanche, Stephane; Lefai, Etienne; Bertile, Fabrice (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background In mammals, the hibernating state is characterized by biochemical adjustments, which include metabolic rate depression and a shift in the primary fuel oxidized from carbohydrates to lipids. A number of studies ...

    • Proteolysis inhibition by hibernating bear serum leads to increased protein content in human muscle cells 

      Chanon, Stéphanie; Chazarin, Blandine; Toubhans, Benoit; Durand, Christine; Chery, Isabelle; Robert, Maud; Vieille-Marchiset, Aurélie; Swenson, Jon; Zedrosser, Andreas; Evans, Alina; Brunberg, Sven; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Gauquelin-Koch, Guillemette; Storey, Kenneth B.; Simon, Chantal; Blanc, Stéphane; Bertile, Fabrice; Lefai, Etienne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Muscle atrophy is one of the main characteristics of human ageing and physical inactivity, with resulting adverse health outcomes. To date, there are still no efficient therapeutic strategies for its prevention and/or ...

    • Retention and loss of PIT tags and surgically implanted devices in the Eurasian beaver 

      Mayer, Martin; Lian, Marianne; Fuchs, Boris; Robstad, Christian; Evans, Alina; Perrin, Kathryn; Greunz, Eva M.; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Rosell, Frank Narve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background: Passive integrated transponder devices (PIT tags) are a valuable tool for individual identification of animals. Similarly, the surgical implantation of transmitters and bio-loggers can provide useful data on ...

    • Toxic elements in arctic and sub-arctic brown bears: Blood concentrations of As, Cd, Hg and Pb in relation to diet, age, and human footprint 

      Fuchs, Boris; Joly, Kyle; Hilderbrand, Grant V.; Evans, Alina; Rodushkin, Ilia; Mangipane, Lindsey S.; Mangipane, Buck A.; Gustine, David D.; Zedrosser, Andreas; Brown, Ludovick; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Contamination with arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) is a global concern impairing resilience of organisms and ecosystems. Proximity to emission sources increases exposure risk but remoteness does not ...
