  • Selenium metabolism in the chick and effects of Vitamin E and selenium on heat stress

    Creator:
    Alayan, Mohammad Atta
    Abstract:
    An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the metabolism and distribution of Se⁷⁵-selenite and Se⁷⁵-selenomethionine (SEM) in chick blood. Se⁷⁵-selenite is taken up by RBC (13% within 20 minutes) and expelled into the plasma to become bound to proteins. In contrast, Se⁷⁵-SEM showed a more gradual and continuous buildup...

  • Vitamin E effects on sterility of White Leghorn males following prolonged vitamin E deficiency

    Creator:
    Friedrichsen, Janet Valerie
    Abstract:
    One group of four adult White Leghorn male chickens was fed a diet containing 7.3% linoleic acid and 32.4 mg/ kg of added vitamin E (group IV) for 50 weeks which was designated as the positive control. A second lot (group I) containing 14 males received the same level of...

  • α-tocopherol is specifically delivered to human skin : studies using deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol

    Creator:
    Vaule, Heather D.
    Abstract:
    The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...

  • Removal of E. coli with alternative media Biosand filters

    Creator:
    Fulton, Nathan J.
    Abstract:
    When Biosand filters cannot be constructed with crushed quarry rock due to resource limitations, a suitable alternative filter media is needed. In this research, two crushed quarry rock alternatives were examined. Three bench-scale Biosand filters with crushed rock, beach sand, and heat-treated beach sand media were simultaneously dosed with Willamette...

  • Examining the Effects of High Vitamin E Diets on the Rodent Skeleton

    Creator:
    Kasper, Katherine G.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of my study was to evaluate the effects of high dietary vitamin E on the rodent skeleton. The outcomes from my study assess the impact of high intakes of vitamin E and increased concentrations of its metabolite, carboxy ethyl hydroxy chromanol (CEHC), on bone turnover and skeletal...

  • Effects of vitamin E, ethoxyquin and linoleic acid on reproduction of white leghorn males

    Creator:
    Kuhns, Russell Victor
    Abstract:
    Two lots of six White Leghorn male chickens were fed diets containing 7.3% linoleic acid and either .075% ethoxyquin (lot 1) or 32.4 mg/kg of added vitamin E (lot II) for 47 weeks both of which were designated as positive controls. A third group (lot III) containing 30 males received...

  • Genetics of tocopherol composition in sunflower seed

    Creator:
    Hass, Catherine G.
    Abstract:
    Tocopherols are plant secondary metabolites that are known collectively as vitamin E. Tocopherol compounds act as potent antioxidants by quenching free radicals and protecting fatty acids from oxidative damage. In humans (in vivo) tocopherols protect membrane lipids from breaking down, while in oils (in vitro) tocopherols protect fatty acids from...

  • Effect of the calpain inhibitor E-64-d on the degradation of α-fodrin in damaged muscle

    Creator:
    Boyd, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    We hypothesized that calpain activity is elevated in response to muscle damage. To test this hypothesis, we examined the degradation of α-fodrin into its 150 and 145 kDa fragments following either 20 eccentric or isometric contractions. In addition, experiments were performed in the presence or absence of E-64-d, a calpain...

  • Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

    Creator:
    Lee, Sangeun
    Abstract:
    In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...
