DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106191
Abstract: Abstract Multi-metric indices (MMIs) are the most common tool used to assess ecological integrity. Traditionally, only the metrics with the highest correlation to disturbance are incorporated. The rationale being that combining the metrics with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.12887
Abstract: Na+/I− symporter (NIS) transports iodide into thyrocytes, a fundamental step for thyroid hormone biosynthesis. Our aim was to evaluate NIS regulation in different status of goitrogenesis and its underlying mechanisms. Wistar rats were treated with… read more here.
