Sadness in the heart of the good one : the tone of Beowulf.
Get PDFii, 156 leaves.Bibliography: leaves 152-156."Although at the end of Beowulf the hero dies defeating a dragon, his victory is overshadowed by the gloom of the ending, which predicts the enslavement and extinction of his people. Beowulf critics have argued that the poet is using the doom of the Geats to criticize the hero or heroism. Whether they think that Beowulf should not have fought the dragon alone, or that he is the victim of old age, or that he should have left the Geats with an heir, their arguments ignore the fact that the death of the Geats is an essential part of the elegiac tone of the poem. By killing the Geats, the poet immortalizes the hero.
MeHg-induced DNA oxidation in mice brains.
No full textii, 44 leaves : illustrations.
Bibliography: leaves 37-44.Interest in the cellular and biochemical mechanism of MeHg toxicity has stemmed from observed motor and cognitive impairments caused by this organometallic cation in adult humans and rodents. This lab group has confirmed that chronic oral MeHg exposure causes coordinated motor deficits and increased levels of oxidative stress in brain tissue. In the present study, we investigate specific neuroanatomical areas associated with motor and cognitive behaviors that are damaged by MeHg-induced oxidative stress. Adult male mice received 4.8 μg/g/day MeHg orally for 28 days. In order to assess oxidative stress, 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was immunohistochemically labeled and analyzed as a biomarker of MeHg-induced DNA oxidation. As hypothesized, MeHg treatment increased 8-OHdG immunoreactivity in the motor cortex. Interestingly, MeHg treatment caused no change in 8-OHdG immunoreactivity in the CA3 region of the hippocampus (CA3) and decreased 8-OHdG immunoreactivity in the magnocellular red nucleus (RMC) and accessory oculomotor nucleus (MA3). These data indicate that 8-OHdG can be used as a sensitive and reliable measure of region specific MeHg-induced oxidative stress in adults. Further investigation is necessary to confirm areas of MeHg-induced neurodegeneration, determine how MeHg-induced oxidative stress causes this degeneration, and identify how this damage produces motor and cognitive impairments
