Enzyme-Mediated Conversion of Glucolimnanthin to Bioherbicidal Breakdown Products

Creator:: Bratton, Daniel
Abstract:: The oilseed crop Limnanthes alba (white meadowfoam) is grown in Oregon. Methods were developed for the production of a liquid-based bioherbicide from meadowfoam seed meal (MSM). It was determined that glucosinolate-containing extracts of MSM can be combined with active-enzyme-containing liquid extracts of meadowfoam seed to form a fermented product rich...

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...

“SeW: A Search for Selenosulfide Bonding” and “Severity of Damage Inflicted on Intercellular Disulfide Bonds as a Result of UV Radiation”

Creator:: Dutcher, Kendall
Abstract:: Part 1: White muscle disease (WMD), a degenerative muscle disease brought on by a deficiency of the essential trace nutrient selenium, is thought to be mediated by the protein Selenoprotein W (SeW). In its relationship with WMD, SeW, like many selenoproteins, binds to glutathione, serving some purpose in redox mechanisms...

Metabolic Effects in C57B/6J Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet Supplemented with Chromium Picolinate and Chromium Yeast

Creator:: Yu, Wesley
Abstract:: An estimated total of 30.3 million people have diabetes in the United States, a disease characterized by chronic elevation in blood glucose which over time, can lead to a host of health problems. Currently the most common types of diabetes are type 1, type 2, and gestational. The principal hormone...

Addressing ALS: Corroborating the Methodology of Studying the P2X7R Complex

Creator:: Veytsman, Edward Y.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...

Antibiotic Resistance Gene Transfer in Oysters as a Result of Fecal Pollution

Creator:: Cooper, Rebecca
Abstract:: Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in many species of bacteria today, with pathogens an important focus. Fecal contamination of shellfish is already a concern due to potential pathogens. This report examines the possibility of resistance gene transfer between microbes, due to fecal bacteria, within the oyster. In this study,...

Endometrial Inflammatory Cytokine Expression in Postpartum Beef Heifers Following Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment

Creator:: Perez, Victor O.
Abstract:: Background: Uterine inflammation (e.g., endometritis) causes negative economic effects in the beef industry by reducing reproductive performance. Current treatments for endometritis in beef cattle involve hormones and antibiotics, which can be expensive and are often ineffective. The endometrial immune response regulates the release of cytokines and chemokines in response to...

Functional consequences of microRNA regulation by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in 3D human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:: Mans, Michael-Andres D.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of contaminants ubiquitous in the environment and result from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Many PAHs have been identified as procarcinogenic, and are metabolized to form DNA adducts; however, other mechanisms also may contribute to toxicity and help explain differences in toxicity...

Fungal endophytes as source to combat bacterial infections

Creator:: Green, Jaimie R
Abstract:: Endophytes, foliage inhabiting fungi, are an unexplored source of fungal biodiversity and a potential resource for the production of bioactive natural products. In this research, leaf tissues from the species Arbutus menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and the genus, Ilex and Salix were collected for the isolation of endophytic fungi. Fungal extracts...

Stomach Analysis of Top Aquatic Predators in a Headwater Stream Network

Creator:: Ain, Najma
Abstract:: Top predators play important roles in regulating communities and ecosystem processes in freshwater ecosystems. In the headwater stream network, it is crucial to understand the interspecific interaction between multiple predators. In Oregon forested ecosystems, Coastal Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii) are the top predators in many...
