Method validation of quantitative analysis of oxylipins in human plasma via mass spectrometry

Creator:: Bloom, Madeline B.
Abstract:: Oxylipins are a class of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. In order to elucidate their overall biological effects, the knowledge of the entire oxylipin profile is needed as oxylipins can have similar or opposing effects in regard to inflammatory events. Their...

The Differences in Reasons for Antepartum Transfer to Hospital by Maternal Characteristics

Creator:: Francis, Ashley B.
Abstract:: Community births are defined as a planned home or birth center birth. Today, the majority of births in the U.S. occur in the hospital, but the U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rates of any developed country. Although community births have comparable outcomes, there is an extreme preference for hospital...

Characterization of Selective Knockout of Thioredoxin Reductase-1 (TR1) in Mouse Melanocytes In Vivo

Creator:: Wyant, Mark B.
Abstract:: Vitiligo is a disease characterized by depigmented patches of skin. The disease is known to involve the loss of melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin in affected areas, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Recent evidence suggests oxidative stress and disruptions to antioxidant pathways contribute to an autoimmune...

The Relationship Between Parent Stress in Low-Income Families and Children's Self-Regulation

Creator:: Elliot, Alexa B.
Abstract:: Self-regulation is a cognitive mechanism that allows children to maintain control over their behaviors and emotions. The importance of this function is well-documented, but there is less understanding of the factors that affect children’s development of self-regulation. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine if parent stress in...

Role of P2Y₁₂ Inhibition in PAR1 Stimulated Platelet Dense Granule Release

Creator:: Laschober, Nicole B.
Abstract:: Platelet activation uses a complex set of pathways to respond to vascular injury during hemostasis. However, thrombosis relies on the same set of pathways. Antiplatelet therapies used to prevent thrombotic events often target the P2Y₁₂ platelet receptor for inhibition but can result in bleeding diathesis or in abnormally high ADP...

Understanding epistasis in linkage analysis : The Kap and lks2 loci in the Oregon Wolfe Barley poputlation

Creator:: McCoy, Serena B.
Abstract:: An organisms' genotype may not be reflected in its phenotype. For example, epistasis - the interaction of non-allelic genes can cause deviations from expected phenotypic ratios. The epistatic interaction between the hooded (Kap) and short-awned (lks2) loci in barley (Hordeum vulgare) precludes the localization of the Kap locus, based on...
