The mycosporins, formerly called P310's are secondary metabolites
of fungi closely associated with fungal reproductive processes that
require light. The structurally related iminomycosporins are found in
marine plants and animals and may also have functions related to
light. In this study, approaches toward the asymmetric synthesis of
the mycosporins are...
To investigate the responses of healthy adult women to two
levels of vitamin B-6, a seven week two-part experiment was conducted
with five young adults and eight middle-aged subjects. During the
four unsupplemented weeks, dietary vitamin B-6 was 2.3-2.4 mg/day.
In the final three weeks, the same diet was supplemented...
Five simulated precipitation patterns characteristic of the Columbia
Basin and Plateau region and six fertilization rates were evaluated
for their effect on percent crude protein, percent in vitro dry matter
digestibility, fiber content, and yield of wheat aftermath on a commercial
farm in north central Oregon.
The higher moisture regimes...
Three experiments were conducted (1) to develop and characterize
polyclonal antibodies against ovine adipocyte plasma membranes (APM),
(2) to evaluate the effect of administering the developed antibodies to
lambs on lamb growth and carcass characteristics, and (3) to investigate
the possibility of using the developed antibodies to identify antigenic
components...

The hepatotoxicity of CB was studied in the Sprague-Dawley rat and rainbow trout. In rats, an ip dosage of 9.8 mmol/kg CB (~̲ LD10) produced evidence of liver toxicity over a 72 hr time course. Sulfobromophthalein (BSP) retention maximized 3-16 hr post treatment and normalized after 72 hr whereas plasma...
The purpose of this research was to examine some of
the factors which may affect body composition of
postmenopausal women. The effect of estrogen, physical
activity, diet and lifestyle were examined in 9 women
receiving estrogen replacement therapy and 11 women not
using this drug. For 3 consecutive days, the...
The Tertiary geologic evolution of the Oregon and Washington continental margin was molded by episodic periods of convergence between the Pacific oceanic plates and the North American plate. This margin is the site of a deep basin that is floored by Paleocene to lower Eocene oceanic crust and contains more...
