The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

Creator:: Yan, Michelle
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

Creator:: Song, Yang
Abstract:: Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...

Limiting copper loss from treated wood in or near aquatic environments

Creator:: Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
Abstract:: Copper migration from treated wood has created concerns within the environmental community because of the potential effects of this heavy metal on aquatic organisms. Migration can be limited, to some extent, by more controlled treatments and by post-treatment processing, but these actions cannot completely overcome the problem. An alternative approach...

Detection of deforestation and land conversion and estimation of atmosperic emissions and elemental pool losses from biomass burning in Rondônia, Brazil

Creator:: Guild, Liane S.
Abstract:: Biomass burning associated with deforestation and land use in the Amazon, greatly contributes to emissions as well as depletion of elemental pools. We identified deforestation and pasture formation and quantified resultant burning emissions and terrestrial aboveground elemental pool losses during a period of early colonization in the vicinity of Jamari,...

Improving ecological risk assessment of pesticides for nontarget terrestrial vertebrates

Creator:: Wang, Guiming
Abstract:: The Quotient Method (QM) is used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in ecological risk assessments of pesticides for nontarget organisms. The QM requires several assumptions regarding exposure and hazards of pesticides to wildlife; several of these assumptions have not been tested. During 1997-99, I conducted three experiments...
