A study of antimutagenicity in yogurt

Creator:: Sudarshan, Nadathur R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to identify antimutagens in yogurt active against the experimental colon carcinogen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Our initial experiments showed that acetone extracts of yogurt, or milk fermented by various lactic acid bacteria were antimutagenic against MNNG and 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) in the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium TA...

Involvement of inflammation and associated Mac-1⁺Gr-1⁺ cells in the immune suppression induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)

Creator:: Choi, Jin-Young, 1964
Abstract:: Exposure to TCDD suppresses the generation of immune responses through unknown mechanisms. Interestingly, TCDD enhances inflammatory responses to various stimuli. The goal of the studies presented in this thesis was to examine the role of hyperinflammation in TCDD-induced immunotoxicity. Previously we observed an increase in Mac-1⁺ cells in the spleen...

The mechanism of interaction of the linker histone with DNA and nucleosomes

Creator:: Ellen, Thomas Patrick
Abstract:: This dissertation examines the interaction of the linker histone with DNA and with nucleosomes. The first goal of the project was to characterize the interaction of the linker histone with DNA. Three factors previously reported to influence the linker histone's interaction with DNA were examined: ratio of linker histone to...

Influence of wetland landscape structure of shorebirds wintering in an agricultural valley

Creator:: Taft, Oriane Williams
Abstract:: Understanding how wetland birds use habitat is pivotal to developing successful and beneficial conservation strategies. Although it has been an ardent topic in forest research for some time, how species interact with the spatial patterning of habitat across a landscape (i.e., landscape structure) has been more or less neglected in...

A novel mechanism of chemoprevention by sulforaphane : inhibition of histone deacetylase

Creator:: Myzak, Melinda C.
Abstract:: Targeting the epigenome, including the use of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, is a novel strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Sulforaphane (SFN), a compound found at high levels in broccoli and broccoli sprouts, is a potent inducer of Phase 2 detoxification enzymes and inhibits tumorigenesis in animal models. SFN also has a...

In vivo assessment of nanomaterial-induced toxicity using embryonic zebrafish

Creator:: Usenko, Crystal Y.
Abstract:: Due to their unique physical, chemical, and magnetic properties, nanomaterials have great potential for industrial development. There is a pressing need to develop rapid whole animal-based testing assays to assess the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials. To meet this challenge the embryonic zebrafish model was employed to determine the toxicity...

A role for ceramide accumulation in age-related cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction

Creator:: Monette, Jeffrey S.
Abstract:: Ceramides are a group of lipids in the sphingolipid family that are potent cell signaling molecules. Elevations in ceramide levels above the norm generally lead to apoptosis. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that accumulation of ceramides within mitochondria leads to dysfunction of the mitochondria. This includes inhibition of the...

The effects of environmental stressors on cardiac gene expression and contractility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Momoda, Tracey S.
Abstract:: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) experience a variety of stressors in their natural environment as well as in aquaculture that can have negative effects on their physiology. The effects of physiological stress and endocrine disruption have been well described in fish. However, there is a scarcity of information on the effects...

Exploring Silicone Wristbands as Personal Passive Sampling Devices in a Disaster Scenario

Creator:: Samon, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Exposure assessment is necessary to determine the frequency and magnitude of environmental contaminants, especially since exposure may lead to adverse health outcomes. Traditional personal exposure assessment tools such as biological samples are limited in their ability to capture a wide range of chemical exposures from a single sample, and others...
