Capacities of metabotropic glutamate modulators in counteracting soman-induced seizures in rats
Myhrer, Trond; Mariussen, Espen; Enger, Siri; Aas, Pål (2013)The mechanisms underlying insulin sensitivity and fat tissue distribution in chronic renal insufficiency remain unclear. Previous studies have shown the benefits of angiotensin II receptor blockers on moderately nourished ... -
Development of neuropathology following soman poisoning and medical countermeasures
Myhrer, Trond; Mariussen, Espen; Aas, Pål (2018)Nerve agent-induced seizures can cause varying degrees of neuropathology depending on level of poisoning and duration of seizing. The intention of this review was to validate a novel approach for establishing effective ... -
Distribution and mobility of lead (Pb), antimony (Sb) and copper (Cu) from ammunition residues on shooting ranges for small arms located on mires
Mariussen, Espen; Johnsen, Ida Vaa; Strømseng, Arnljot Einride (2017)An environmental survey was performed on shooting ranges for small arms located on minerotrophic mires. The highest mean concentrations of Pb (13 g/kg), Cu (5.2 g/kg), Zn (1.1 g/kg), and Sb (0.83 g/kg) in the top soil were ... -
Effects of heavy metals from outdoor shooting ranges on aquatic organisms
Voie, Øyvind Albert; Mariussen, Espen (2010)Metals deposited in shooting ranges (Pb, Zn, Cu and Sb) can affect fish health, fish populations and fish communities through a wide spectrum of mechanisms. In the current report the literature on the mechanisms of metal ... -
