Composition of flavonoid phenolic polymers isolated from red wine during maceration and significance of flavan-3-ols in foods pertaining to biological activity

Creator:: Aron, Patricia M.
Abstract:: Representing the most common flavonoid consumed in the American diet, the flavanols and their polymeric condensation products, the proanthocyanidins, are regarded as functional ingredients in various beverages, whole and processed foods, herbal remedies and supplements. Their presence in food affects food quality parameters including astringency, bitterness, sourness, sweetness, salivary viscosity,...

Estimation of the energy cost of walking 10,000 steps

Creator:: Birdsley, Kari L.
Abstract:: There is a strong campaign underway to promote increased physical activity among the U.S. population. The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have presented physical activity recommendations in terms of the amount of time accumulated in physical activity and/or in terms of energy expenditure over the course of...

Impact of weak and strong acids on the destruction of lactic acid bacteria during high pressure processing

Creator:: Sarangapani, Rama Krishna
Abstract:: High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) affects the pH of weak acids due to an increased degree of acid dissociation while under pressure. The temporary pH reduction by high pressure in such a case may influence the barotolerance of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of weak...

Steroids regulate α2,6-sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates in murine uterine epithelium at the time of implantation

Creator:: Gaza-Bulseco, Georgeen S.
Abstract:: Sialic acids are involved in many cellular interactions. They can serve as an adhesion ligand or act as an inhibitor to cellular adhesion by charge repulsion or by masking potential ligands. Although sialic acids are implicated in the process of blastocyst implantation, their expression and regulation in uterine epithelium of...

The effect of two levels of glucose ingestion on plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate concentration

Creator:: Huang, Ying-Hui
Abstract:: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of glucose on plasma pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP) concentration. The objective was to determine whether there was a negative relationship between glucose ingestion and plasma PLP concentration and to evaluate the possible mechanism of decreased PLP after acute glucose ingestion. Seven healthy...

Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and protein concentration effects

Creator:: Joshi, Omkar
Abstract:: Adipic dihydrazide-modified heparin was prepared and subsequently immobilized on surface-activated silica wafers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to quantify the elemental composition of the silica surface at each stage of activation and results showed that successful immobilization had taken place. Contact angle measurements were made to verify the high...

Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and adsorption time effects

Creator:: Lee, Hyo Jin
Abstract:: Heparin was modified with adipic diliydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica. Contact angle measurements were made to determine changes in surface at various stages of the derivatization. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the elemental composition of the surface at each step of immobilizing heparin as well and...

Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

Creator:: Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
Abstract:: Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

Inflammation, immune suppression, and iron status in endurance athletes and the effects of antioxidant supplementation

Creator:: Hopkins, Dawn Marie Weseli
Abstract:: During extreme exercise, athletes experience increased inflammation that is similar to the acute phase response. Endurance athletes, distance runners in particular, are also more susceptible to compromised iron stores. This study evaluated inflammation, immune function and iron status in athletes completing a 50K ultramarathon. Twenty-two well-trained distance runners, 11 males...

Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

Creator:: Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
Abstract:: Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...
