Vitamin E and K interactions : investigating mechanisms of reduced vitamin K status in response to excess vitamin E

Creator:: Farley, Sherry Mae
Abstract:: The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...

Metabolic effects of consumption of quercetin, ellagic acid, cherry, and apple phytochemical extracts in high-fat fed mice

Creator:: Smith, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Metabolic improvements and changes in gene expression were measured in mice fed polyphenol-rich extracts derived from apples and sweet cherries, and the common phytochemicals, quercetin and ellagic acid. Polyphenol-rich extracts were produced by solid phase extraction and column chromatography. Extracts and purified compounds were mixed into a high-fat (HF, 60%...

In Utero Exposure to Arsenic and Mercury : Epigenome-Wide Associations and Newborn Health Outcomes

Creator:: Cardenas, Andres
Abstract:: Mercury and arsenic are known developmental toxicants and environmental exposures are ubiquitous worldwide from natural and anthropogenic sources. Prenatal exposure to both contaminants are independently associated with adverse perinatal health outcomes and latent disease risk that could be in part mediated by epigenetic reprogramming events. Fetal programming events involving DNA...

The Roles of Dietary Nitrate in Bone and the Gut in an Ovarian Hormone-deficient Rodent Model

Creator:: Conley, Melissa N.
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease, affecting a third of women and a fifth of men over age 65. In the US, annual health care costs associated with osteoporosis are estimated to be over $20 billion. Osteoporosis is associated with increased fracture risk, which has been demonstrated to predict...

Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

Creator:: Lee, Sangeun
Abstract:: In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...

The role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the retina from light damage

Creator:: Derenick, Rhianna A.
Abstract:: Purpose: The xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula lutea of the retina. It is thought that the two plant pigments may play a role in preventing the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exposure to damaging light plays a role in retinal deterioration and AMD. The...

DHA and Low-fat Low-cholesterol Diets as Treatment Strategies for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Creator:: Lytle, Kelli Anne
Abstract:: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of excess neutral lipids within the parenchymal cells of the liver. The primary etiology is diet-induced and most often exists as a comorbidity with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and/or Type 2 Diabetes. The development of excess liver lipid can be self-limiting...

Metabolic and Renal Effects of Consumption of Five Phytochemicals in High-Fat Fed C57BL6J Mice

Creator:: Hansen, Allysa
Abstract:: A significant body of research demonstrates that phytochemical intake favorably influences hepatic metabolism via a number of different biological mechanisms. Other research has shown a positive effect of certain phytochemicals on kidney health, specifically in ameliorating symptoms of kidney disease. The current research used three separate studies that tested the...

Contractile function and calpain activity in mouse skeletal muscle during hypoxia

Creator:: Hu, Hui
Abstract:: Calcium activated proteases, or calpains, are activated in cardiac muscles under conditions of ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia. Their activity in skeletal muscle under similar conditions is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that hypoxia elevates calpain-mediated proteolysis in isolated glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and oxidative (soleus, SOL) mouse muscles studied...

Translational Studies of the High Molecular Weight Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon, Dibenzo[ def,p] Chrysene; Carcinogenesis and Metabolism

Creator:: Madeen, Erin
Abstract:: The objective of this work is to add to the body of translational data between high dose animal model research and the environmentally relevant human metabolism of the persistent pollutant dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC). We furthered the knowledge of gene/exposure interactions by determining the carcinogenesis risk based on Cyp1b1 genotype following in...
