Characterizing blood plasma proteins from organ tissue in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using a non-targeted proteomics approach
(2021-12-01)
Protein expression patterns adapt to various cues to meet the needs of an organism. The dynamicity of an organism’s proteome can therefore reveal information about an organism’s health. Proteome databases contain limited ...
Determining the differences in effect of chromate, chromite and chromium picolinate in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at environmentally relevant concentrations
(2021-11-01)
The Ring of Fire is a region in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario that houses a rich deposit of chromite and is slated for mining development. The goals of this study were to better understand the relative effects ...
Investigating proteomic profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2022-08-01)
The Ontario Ring of Fire located in the James Bay Lowlands is a nickel rich ore with ongoing mining proposals. This raises the possibility of nickel contamination in one of Ontario’s most precious freshwater regions and ...
Effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the freshwater gastropod (Planorbella pilsbryi) in the laboratory and in situ integrating a multi-omic approach
(2023-09-01)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are globally used in consumer and industrial applications. Specifically, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been under scrutiny due to its ...
Metabolic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects of PFAAs and their mixtures on the proteome of plasma and head kidney from rainbow trout
(2023-03-01)
PFAAs (Perfluoroalkyl acids) are a class of bioaccumulative, persistent and ubiquitous aquatic contaminants. A paucity of toxicological information exists for short chain PFAAs and PFAA mixtures. In order to address these ...
