Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Animal science, Growth rate and Ecology. He is interested in Hormone, which is a branch of Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as photoperiodism and Osmoregulation, which intersect with Endocrinology.

As part of the same scientific family, Björn Thrandur Björnsson usually focuses on Animal science, concentrating on Gadus and intersecting with Fish weight. Björn Thrandur Björnsson combines subjects such as Trout, Rainbow trout and Transgene with his study of Ecology. His Fishery research incorporates themes from Capelin and Aquaculture.

His most cited work include:

  • Thyroid hormones in growth and development of fish (520 citations)
  • Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors in fish: where we are and where to go. (311 citations)
  • Optimal temperature for growth and feed conversion of immature cod (Gadus morhua L.) (201 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Björn Thrandur Björnsson focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Animal science, Hormone and Fishery. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Rainbow trout and Salmo. Björn Thrandur Björnsson studied Endocrinology and Receptor that intersect with Gene isoform.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Juvenile, Ecology, Gadus and Aquaculture. His work in Hormone covers topics such as Appetite which are related to areas like Metabolism. He has included themes like Capelin, Haddock, Hatchery and Halibut in his Fishery study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (61.25%)
  • Endocrinology (61.25%)
  • Animal science (22.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (61.25%)
  • Endocrinology (61.25%)
  • Salmo (18.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Salmo, Rainbow trout and Leptin receptor are his primary areas of study. Adipose tissue, Skeletal muscle, Energy homeostasis, Hypothalamus and Endocrine system are the core of his Internal medicine study. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Receptor, Signal transduction and Sea bass.

His Salmo study which covers Insulin-like growth factor that intersects with Smoltification. His Rainbow trout study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phenotype, Dopaminergic and Gastrointestinal tract. In his study, Hormone is strongly linked to Insulin, which falls under the umbrella field of Ghrelin.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Aerobic scope fails to explain the detrimental effects on growth resulting from warming and elevated CO2 in Atlantic halibut (154 citations)
  • Effects of nutritional status on plasma leptin levels and in vitro regulation of adipocyte leptin expression and secretion in rainbow trout. (37 citations)
  • Roles of leptin and ghrelin in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism of rainbow trout adipocytes in vitro. (25 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Rainbow trout, Adipose tissue and Leptin receptor. In his research on the topic of Internal medicine, Receptor is strongly related with Phosphorylation. In general Endocrinology study, his work on Hormone activity often relates to the realm of Cotransporter, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Rainbow trout research includes themes of Protein kinase B, Orexigenic, Hypothalamus, Proopiomelanocortin and Neuropeptide. His research integrates issues of Hormone, Ghrelin, Appetite and Insulin in his study of Adipose tissue. His work carried out in the field of Muscle hypertrophy brings together such families of science as Homeostasis, Somatic cell, Apoptosis, Endocrine system and Chronic stress.
