Heart Disease Knowledge, Awareness, and Perceived Risk in Oregon State University Students

Creator:: Hirsch, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. but is often thought of as a man’s disease. Women with CVD, however, suffer poorer health outcomes due to previous education of stereotypically “male” signs and symptoms of heart attacks, despite the fact...

Effect of Perinatal Low Protein Diet on the Expression of Renal Organic Cation Transporter 2 and Novel Organic Cation Transporter 2 in Adult Rats

Creator:: Nguyen, Paulina M.
Abstract:: Studies have established that there is a greater risk for onset of adult metabolic syndrome disease such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity in subjects born with low birth weight (LBW). Undernourished fetuses make adaptions that result in structurally, morphologically, and functionally altered organs. In terms of drug pharmacokinetics,...

Molecular Analysis of Tomato Seed Germination and Tomato Production in Almería, Spain

Creator:: Nguyen, Theresa T.
Abstract:: Tomato is considered to be one of the most important vegetables for its value as a source of nutrients and antioxidants, and as a model crop for biological research, including seed biology. In this thesis, tissue-specific gene expression and its regulation in tomato seeds were analyzed to understand the mechanisms...

Plant responses induced by Ptr ToxA and Ptr ToxB, host-selective toxins produced by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

Creator:: Mankaney, Aakash
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the causal agent of the disease tan spot of wheat, which can be responsible for the destruction of up to 50% of a wheat crop harvest. Tan spot disease results in chlorotic and/or necrotic lesions triggered by the pathogen’s production of one or several host-selective toxins...

Writing down what no echo can ever repeat

Creator:: O’Donnell, Nicolette
Abstract:: This thesis consists of an autoethnography of a sexual assault survivor written using poems, journal entries, annotations, photographs and song lyrics. The ethnography is a chronological record of feelings the author experienced during the day prior to the attack and emotions she navigated during the year and a half after...

Antisense Antibiotics

Creator:: Mitev, Georgi Mitko
Abstract:: Two different types of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) were used to inhibit growth in pure cultures of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and in mouse macrophages infected with S. typhimurium. Both PMOs were 11 bases long and complementary to bases 6-16 of acyl carrier protein mRNA. A membrane-penetrating peptide, (RXR)4XB, was...

Chemical screening of the secondary metabolites of Streptomyces cellulosae

Creator:: Fifield, Rory E.J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this project was to isolate gabosines and other compounds through chemical screening of secondary metabolites of Streptomyces cellulosae subsp. griseorubiginoses strain S1096. Two different media were used to cultivate S. cellulosae. The first contained soybean and mannitol. The other contained oatmeal and trace element solution. After cultivation...

Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Staphylococcus aureus Sortase A Enzyme

Creator:: Bateman, Katherine B.
Abstract:: The Sortase A (SrtA) enzyme is a potential target for a new class of anti-infective drugs because it is responsible for anchoring virulence factors to the surface of pathogenic, Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. High throughput screening yielded low molecular weight compounds that inhibit purified SrtA from S. aureus....

Localization of the CB1 receptor in the brain of Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Aubert, Jolene E.
Abstract:: The psychoactive component of marijuana, A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is known to have effects in humans that are mediated by the cannabinoid receptor (CB 1). Although a great deal of research has been done to confirm the interaction of exogenous cannabinoids with the CB 1 receptor, little is known about the receptor's...

Investigating the age-related loss of endoplasmic reticulum stress response

Creator:: Fallahi, Anahita
Abstract:: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle in the cell where protein folding and processing occurs, and conditions that negatively affect ER functions are highly detrimental to the cell. The accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER leads to a condition known as ER Stress. The ER has developed...
