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...

A pro-inflammatory agent, Lipopolysaccharide, can mimic the effects ofaging on spatial reference memory

Creator:: Escobedo, Emily R. and Magnusson, Kathy R.
Abstract:: A pro-inflammatory agent, lipopolysaccharide, can mimic the effects of aging on spatial reference memory E. R. ESCOBEDO and K. R. Magnusson, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, Coll. of Vet. Med., Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 Humans and rodents experience declines in reference (long-term), working (short-term) memory, and...

A Pro-Inflammatory Agent, Lipopolysaccharide, Can Mimic the Effects of Aging on Spatial Reference Memory

Creator:: Escobedo, Emily R.
Abstract:: Humans and rodents experience declines in reference (long-term) and working (short-term) memory and cognitive flexibility during the aging process. Aging changes in GluN1 and GluN2B subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors show a relationship to both reference and working memory deficits. Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug, enhances working memory and NMDA receptor...

Monitoring Resistance in Onion Thrips to Insecticides, Lannate® and Exirel®, in the Treasure Valley of Eastern Oregon and Southwestern Idaho

Creator:: Sanchez, Kevin
Abstract:: To evaluate and monitor insecticide resistance in onion thrips Thrips tabaci on onion (Allium cepa), we conducted a study using three field populations in the Treasure Valley of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho using the insecticides Lannate (methomyl) and Exirel (cyantraniliprole). To evaluate these two insecticides, biological assays were conducted...

Assessment of Gut Microbiome Role in Diet-Related Changes in Cognition

Creator:: Caballero-Ignacio, Clarisa
Abstract:: Western diets can influence behavior and gut microbiome due to the excessive intake of high fat and sucrose. Altering the microbiome can also influence the brain and behavior. The hypothesis that was tested was that diet-induced changes in the microbiome cause changes in cognitive abilities. A previous study showed learning...

Influences of an Anti-inflammatory Drug, Ibuprofen, on Spatial Memory and NMDA Receptor Subunit Expression During Aging

Creator:: Márquez Loza, Alejandra
Abstract:: One of the first cognitive dysfunctions to arise with aging is memory loss, affecting an estimated 85% of elderly in the U.S. over the age of 80 with Age Associated Memory Impairment. A common feature in humans and animals experiencing memory loss with aging is the decline in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)...

Automated annotation of Caenorhabditis mitochondrial genomes and phylogenetic analysis

Creator:: Campbell, Jessica L.
Abstract:: Motivation Relatively little is known about the evolution of mitochondrial genomes between Caenorhabditis species despite decades of research. Both the worldwide search for new nematode species and the effort to increase sequencing speeds require automated tools to quickly characterize and categorize large amounts of data. Results We developed an automated...

Degradation of Extracellular Matrix Proteins by Bovine Embryonic Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator

Creator:: Hansen, Lance
Abstract:: The bovine blastocyst is composed of a one-celled layer of trophectoderm surrounding a fluid filled sac called the blastocoel and a ball of cells called the inner cell mass (ICM). On Day 8 (Day 0=fertilization) in bovine embryos, endodermal cells leave the ICM, migrate over the extracellular matrix (ECM) on...

Characterization of a Sporulation-Specific Kinase in Clostridium perfringens

Creator:: Danielson, Bryan
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates produce the spore-specific enterotoxin, CPE, upon sporulation in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. Spo0A is a response regulator representing the major transcription factor for sporulation initiation in C. perfringens. In Bacillus subtilis, a multicomponent phosphorelay involving five histidine kinases (KinA-KinE), the intermediate response...

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;...
