  • Relative Health Effects of Intake of High-Fat Diets Enriched with Raspberry Fiber and Raspberry Polyphenol in C57B/J6 Mice

    Creator:
    Sturm, Marlena L.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Consumption of raspberry products have been observed to produce healthful effects and reduce weight gain and positively shift metabolism in mice fed obesigenic diets. In the past, our lab has successfully shown a reduction in weight gain for mice consuming RPC+HF vs. mice fed HF alone. Currently, there is...

  • Evaluation of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) as a model for carcinogenesis

    Creator:
    Tsai, Hsi-Wen
    Abstract:
    Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are small, freshwater teleost fishes in the family Cyprinidae, the true minnows. They are native to the tropical latitudes of India, but have become widespread through their use as aquarium fish and as models for several branches of biological research. Their ease of rearing, short generation time,...

  • Ras oncogenes and p53 suppressor genes in fish carcinogenesis models

    Creator:
    Cheng, Ronshan
    Abstract:
    A digoxigenin-labeled nonradioactive detection system was used to screen a zebrafish cDNA library for p53-like and ras-like genes. One clone was isolated and identified as an incomplete p53-like gene. The insert size of this clone is 1777 bp, which encodes part of evolutionarily conserved region II and all of regions...
