Intracellular Chloride Concentration Changes Modulate IL-1β Expression and Secretion in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cultured Cells [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a cAMP‐regulated chloride channel. Several cellular functions are altered in CF cells. However, it is not clear how the CFTR failure induces those alterations.

Isolation of tributyltin-degrading bacteria citrobacter braakii and enterobacter cloacae from butyltin-polluted sediment [PDF]
Tributyltin compound (TBT) released into the aquatic environment is generally degraded by bacteria in water and sediment. The isolation of TBT-degrading bacteria from TBT polluted sediment leads to the indication of specific potential TBT degraders.

ZEBRAFISH EMBRYOS EXHIBITED MORTALITY, ALTERED HATCHABILITY, AND DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMALITIES FOLLOWING TRIBUTYLTIN EXPOSURE [PDF]
: Tributyltin (TBT), an organotin-endocrine-disrupting substance, is recognized as one of the most important toxic environmental pollutants. The present study was carried out to investigate the developmental toxicity of TBT on zebrafish embryos.

Speciation without chromatography: Part 2. Determination of tributyltin by chloride generation flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry [PDF]
A procedure is described for the quantitation of tributyltin in aqueous samples and extracts based on its relatively high volatility in halide media, permitting vapour phase sampling from the headspace above such samples.Tributyltin chloride (TBT-C1) was

Intersex related gene expression profiles in clams Scrobicularia plana : molecular markers and environmental application [PDF]
Intersex, the appearance of female characteristics in male gonads, has been identified in several aquatic species. It is a widespread phenomenon in populations of the bivalve, Scrobicularia plana, from the southwest coast of the U.K.
