The influence of selenium on selenoprotein W

Creator:: Yeh, Jan-ying
Abstract:: The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...

Purification and characterization of recombinant calpain-5

Creator:: Wang, Mei-Chuan
Abstract:: Recombinant human calpain-5 was expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus system. The expressed calpain-5 was purified by both traditional chromatography and by affinity-column chromatography. Both methods yielded active protease. Calpain-5 displayed very limited hydrophobicity. This indicated that calpain-5 is not a membrane binding protein. Calpain-5 had pI of 8.3....

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and leukotriene production in poultry

Creator:: Jha, Shantibhushan
Abstract:: Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Eicosanoids are lipid mediators of inflammation. Leukotrienes (LT) are 20-carbon eicosanoids produced from arachidonic acid (AA), an n-6 fatty acid (FA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 FA. LT produced from AA are proinflammatory...

Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

Creator:: Gonzalez, Dulmelis
Abstract:: In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...

Regulation of skeletal muscle protein degradation by u-calpain and development of a skeletal muscle-specific inducible expression system

Creator:: Xiao, Ying-Yi
Abstract:: The first goal of this study was to understand the role of u-calpain in skeletal muscle protein degradation in cultured muscle cells. Several strategies were developed to down-regulate endogenous u-calpain activity and m-calpain activity in rat myotubes. These included over-expression of antisense u-calpain (AnsL), dominant negative u-calpain (DN-u-CL), antisense 30K...

Effects of alfalfa on uterine growth of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs

Creator:: Sexson, Clinton
Abstract:: Alfalfa accumulates phytoestrogens and when ingested binds the estrogen receptor and induces morphological changes similar to endogenous estrogens. The objective of this study is to evaluate morphological changes in uteri, vulva, and teats of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs. Eighteen prepubertal ewe lambs were ovariectomized in November 2000 and fed nonestrogenic...

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and immune responses in poultry

Creator:: Selvaraj, Ramesh Kumar
Abstract:: Three experiments were conducted to study the influence of dietary fatty acids on the production performance and immune response of chickens. In experiment I, forty day-old broiler chicks were fed diets containing 5% of either animal fat + conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (Diet I), sunflower oil (Diet II), flax oil...

Analysis of the effect of the potassium ion on fowl sperm motility

Creator:: Gamble, Kari
Abstract:: Fowl sperm are believed to be immotile prior to ejaculation. The concentration of potassium found in deferent duct fluid is approximately 8 times higher than that found in blood plasma, which is 5 mM in Gallus domesticus. The effect of ionic potassium on fowl sperm motion was tested in a...

Fluorimetric analysis of intracellular calcium in high and low mobility fowl sperm

Creator:: Olson, Jill Wardell
Abstract:: Sperm mobility is defined as the net movement of a sperm population against resistance. Previous research demonstrated that the cell-permeant Ca2+ indicator rhod-2 AM gave a fluorescent signal predominantly in the head region of fowl sperm that differed between sperm mobility phenotypes. This thesis served to explore the role of...
