High impact information on Kelp

  • Kelp extract inhibited the binding of estradiol to estrogen receptor alpha and beta and that of progesterone to the progesterone receptor, with IC(50) values of 42.4, 31.8, and 40.7 micromol/L, respectively [1].
  • Kelp treatment also led to modest elevations in hLGC culture progesterone levels [1].
  • Concatenated sequences from the plastid-encoded RuBisCo spacer and nuclear-encoded rDNA ITS region of the Alariaceae, Laminariaceae, and Lessoniaceae as currently recognized were used to determine the phylogeny of kelps (Phaeophyceae) [2].
  • Seabird eggs were used as bioindicators of chemical contamination in Chile. Brown-hooded Gull (Larus maculipennis), Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus), Trudeau's Tern (Sterna trudeaui), Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus), and Pink-footed Shearwater (Puffinus creatopus) eggs were sampled at different breeding sites during the 1990s [3].
  • Control of plasma arginine vasotocin in Kelp gulls (Larus dominicanus): roles of osmolality, volume, and plasma angiotensin II [4].
 

Associations of Kelp with chemical compounds

  • Plasma arginine vasotocin and angiotensin II in the water deprived Kelp gull (Larus dominicanus), Cape gannet (Sula capensis) and Jackass penguin (Spheniscus demersus) [5].
