Age-related response of isolated rat hepatocytes to menadione and (R)-[alpha]-lipoic acid

Creator:: Graves, Jason T.
Abstract:: Age-related decline in the capacity of endogenous antioxidant systems complicates pharmaceutical use by the elderly by potentially increasing the toxicity of some compounds. Of particular interest is chemical detoxification via glutathione (GSH) and attendant GSH-requiring detoxification enzymes, e.g. GSH peroxidases (GPX) and GSH S-transferase (GST). These enzymes have been shown...

Identifying microRNAs by automated phylogenetic and structural analysis

Creator:: Smith, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Motivation: It can take considerable amounts of time and effort to use existing computational tools to analyze a small RNA sequence for the purpose of determining if it is characteristic of microRNA. It is similarly tedious to search for homologs to known microRNA sequences in the rapidly growing collection of...

Geographic variation in the seed mycobiome of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)

Creator:: Bergmann, Gillian E.
Abstract:: Seeds are an essential component of plant life histories, and seed endophytes have the potential to influence germination, seedling establishment and development. That said, seed endophytes are a relatively new area of study, both in the factors that influence which taxa are present and how these microbes alter plant function....

Systematically evaluating the developmental toxicity of nanomaterials using the zebrafish model

Creator:: Edwards, Sabrina R.
Abstract:: As engineered nanomaterials (ENM) become more common in consumer products, it is crucial to rapidly assess toxicity of unique ENM. Previous studies rarely focused on standardizing nanotoxicity testing, leading to inconsistent and irreproducible results. This study characterized a variety of ENM of different size, shape, core type, and surface charge...

Toxicity and Mutagenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soils using Mammalian In Vitro Assay

Creator:: Luker, George W.
Abstract:: There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

Exploring the Growth Habits of Sweetpotatoes (Ipomoea batatas) in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon

Creator:: Epps, Charlotte
Abstract:: Sweetpotatoes are a highly nutritious staple crop, playing an important role in global nutritional security. Although the majority of research in the United States (U.S.) focuses on the cultivation of the storage roots, both the leaves and roots are edible. Sweetpotatoes are indigenous to the Andes Region of South America;...

Native wildlife species (Pseudacris regilla) utilizing invasive-dominated habitat in a highly disturbed ecosystem

Creator:: Epperly, Haley K.
Abstract:: The Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) is commonly encountered throughout the Pacific Northwest and can be an indicator for ecosystem health. At each life stage P. regilla utilizes a different habitat and therefore it is important to understand habitat use at all life stages to properly manage the ecosystem, however, few...

Is Advection Important? An Examination of the Advective Dynamics of Sensible Heat and Their Influence onSubcanopy Carbon Fluxes in Heterogeneous Terrain

Creator:: Carrigg, Sean Stephen
Abstract:: Abstract Understanding small-scale bio-atmospheric interactions is becoming increasingly important as the global climate continues to change at breakneck speed. A theoretical model of the sensible heat budget of a forest is developed combining conservation equations and concepts from fluid dynamics. Budget components are computationally evaluated using micrometeorological data taken during...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Esposito, Madison L.
Abstract:: Modifications of histone tail amino acid residues are necessary for many reactions involving chromatin. These processes can produce transcriptionally active, euchromatic, or inactive, heterochromatic, segments of DNA. The formation and maintenance of facultative heterochromatin is critical for the proper growth and development of many eukaryotes. Euchromatin can be changed into...
