Disease relevance of Mediterranean Sea

 

High impact information on Mediterranean Sea

  • It resulted from the closure of marine gateways between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the causes of which remain enigmatic [6].
  • A common glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variant characterized by severe enzyme deficiency and B-like electrophoretic mobility is called "G6PD-Mediterranean" because it is found in different populations around the Mediterranean Sea [7].
  • The instrument implemented on top of a YOYO vertical eulerian profiler was then deployed successfully in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea acquiring 30 nitrate profiles between 200 and 1100 m over a 15-day period [8].
  • Biogeographic patterns of the Symphodus species group and the genus Labrus are dominated by speciation events driven by the closing and opening of the Mediterranean Sea and periodic glaciation events during the past 1 million years [9].
  • This annual herb grows in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea and India. Thymoquinone (TQ) is the bioactive constituent of the volatile oil of black seed [10].
 

Biological context of Mediterranean Sea

 

Anatomical context of Mediterranean Sea

  • The paper reports a histological and immunohistochemical description of oocyte growth and ultrastructural aspects of zona radiata (ZR) formation as well as the relationship between plasma estradiol-17beta, (E2) levels and ovarian development in swordfish (Xiphias gladius L.) from the Mediterranean Sea [15].
 

Associations of Mediterranean Sea with chemical compounds

  • P was found to stimulate bacterial production (BP) in 13 out of 18 experiments, in the eastern and in the western Mediterranean Sea [16].
  • Irgarol 1051 was detected at ng l(-1) levels in the Barcelona marina (northwestern Mediterranean Sea) [17].
  • A new sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain 86FS1, was isolated from a deep-sea sediment in the western Mediterranean Sea with sodium lactate as electron and carbon source [18].
  • Caulerpenyne (Cyn), the major secondary metabolite synthesized by the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia proliferating in the Mediterranean Sea, is a cytotoxic sesquiterpene [19].
  • The effect of phosphate (P), nitrate (N), and organic carbon (C, glucose) enrichment on heterotrophic bacterial production was examined along two longitudinal transects covering the whole Mediterranean Sea during June and September 1999 [16].
 

Gene context of Mediterranean Sea

  • The spectrum of PAH gene mutations in Sicily reflects the complex demographic history of this island at the crossroad of prehistoric and historical migrations in the Mediterranean sea [20].
  • METHODS: The POLA study is a population-based study taking place in the town of Sète, located on the French Mediterranean Sea border [21].
  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase Mediterranean (G6PD Med) is a common G6PD variant around the Mediterranean Sea characterized by severe enzyme deficiency and B-like electrophoretic mobility [22].
  • No substructuring was found between samples within the Mediterranean Sea, theta = 0.003 and RST = 0.007 (P > 0.05) [23].
  • Our data have evidenced a latitudinal cline at loci Gapdh and Gpi-2 within the Mediterranean Sea, with a further steep change across the Almeria-Oran front [24].
