Microplastic pollution and ecological risk assessment of a pond ecosystem
Microplastic (MP) pollution has been observed in various ecosystems as a result of the rapid increase in plastic production over the past half-century. Nevertheless, the extent of MP pollution in different eco...

Microplastics in a dam lake in Turkey: type, mesh size effect, and bacterial biofilm communities
The evaluation of microplastic (MP) pollution has been drawing attention for the last decades. MP pollution has been studied widely in marine environments, but limited data exists for freshwater ecosystems on ...

The influence of nutrient loading, climate and water depth on nitrogen and phosphorus loss in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment
Losses of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) have important influences on in-lake concentrations and nutrient loading to downstream ecosystems. We performed a series of mesocosm experiments along a latitudinal gr...

Inferring past environmental changes in three Turkish lakes from sub-fossil Cladocera
Cladocerans are increasingly used in palaeolimnological studies as their community composition is sensitive to both anthropogenic and natural forces in lakes. We present the results of a palaeolimnological inv...

Temperature effects on body size of freshwater crustacean zooplankton from Greenland to the tropics
The body size of zooplankton has many substantive effects on the function of aquatic food webs. A variety of factors may affect size, and earlier studies indicate that water temperature may be a particularly i...

Inducible nitric oxide synthase and apoptosis in human B cell lymphomas
Nitric oxide synthases are isoenzymes that catalyse the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO). NO plays both pathological and physiological roles depending on its rate of synthesis and concentration in cellular sourc...

Neuroprotective Effects of Indomethacin and Aminoguanidine in the Newborn Rats with Hypoxic-Ischemic Cerebral Injury
Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PG) play important roles in delayed mechanisms of brain injury. While NO disrupts oxidative metabolism, prostaglandins are responsible for free radical attack in reperfusi...
