Nowadays, it is estimated that about 450 million people suffer from a mental or behavioural disorder in the world. According to World health organization (WHO), 33% of the years lived with disability (YLD) are due to ...
Based on the background showing i) that obesity have a polygenic nature with the implication of different genes of minor effect and lifestyle factors; ii) the high variability between individuals in weight loss outcome ...
[eng] The invasion of alien species is a major global threat to ecosystems, with significant impacts, especially on freshwater ecosystems. The species diversity in freshwater ecosystems has significantly declined worldwide, ...
1. Objetivo General: Estudiar la variación existente en genes candidatos implicados en la neurotransmisión serotoninérgica como factor de riesgo en la depresión mayor y como factor relacionado con aspectos del fenotipo ...
In this work we have analyzed the variation of (i) several X chromosome polymorphic Alu insertions and (ii) several SNPs and microsatellites within and around the genomic regions of the genes coding for coagulation factors ...
After ischemic damage in kidney, alternatively activated or M2 macrophages are key players in resolving inflammation and participating in kidney repair. Obtaining this particular phenotype is a process controlled by ...
The broad objectives of this work are the identification of genes that contribute to the susceptibility to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cocaine dependence, two disorders that co-occur in patients. ...
The present thesis deals with a deep analysis of the genetic structure of extant human worldwide populations, with a special focus on the Mediterranean. Different genetic markers, 18 Alu insertions and 367 single ...
Arabidopsis thaliana is a small ruderal weed with prominent north-hemisphere distribution. It has an autogamous style of reproduction, whereas about 3% of the natural population can exhibit outcrosses. Some of these ...
Aquesta tesi pretenia proporcionar noves perspectives sobre les relacions evolutives entre llagostes de l'infraordre Achelata utilitzant marcadors moleculars, tant d'evolució lenta com d'evolució ràpida, i calcular el temps ...
La cocaïna és una droga psicoestimulant que actua directament sobre sistema de recompensa del cervell tot produint sensació de plaer. A més, els seus efectes sobre altres àrees cerebrals produeixen alteracions en l’estat ...
La cocaïna i l’èxtasi (MDMA, 3,4-metilendioximetamfetamina) són drogues psicoestimulants que incrementen l’activitat del sistema nerviós central i perifèric amb efectes com l’augment de l’estat d’alerta, la resistència, ...
Aquesta Tesi té com a objectiu principal contribuir a l’estudi i a la identificació de factors genètics i epigenètics de susceptibilitat a les addiccions i a trastorns comòrbids, tant en humans com en models animals. Els ...
Els trastorns de l’espectre autista (TEA) són trastorns greus del neurodesenvolupament, caracteritzats per una discapacitat en la comunicació, tant verbal com no verbal, la limitació de la interacció social i comportaments ...
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad debida a factores genéticos y ambientales. Se ha demostrado que existe agregación familiar y que los genes del haplotipo HLA-DR2 son los que mayoritariamente se asocian con la ...
En esta tesis se ha estudiado en detalle la genoarquitectura de la placa neural del anfioxo en desarrollo. La expresión de varios genes había sido descrita en el primordio nerual del anfioxo, pero no existe ningún consenso ...
Colorectal tumors are not homogeneous entities but rather composed of a mixture of cells with different phenotypes, reminiscent of healthy intestinal epithelium cell types. Intestinal epithelium is one of the organs with ...
The diversity of life forms around us is astounding: a walk in the woods, or even down the street, shows us organisms of different morphologies: two legs, four legs, wings; different capacity of interaction with our ...
