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...
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...
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)...
Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...
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...
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...
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...
A study of the relative rates of the alkyl hydrogen abstraction
from a series of meta and para substituted t-butylbenzenes by the
chlorine atom at 70°C has been carried out. Application of the
Hammett equation yielded a ρ value of -0.44 for the para compounds.
Possible explanations for the non-linearity...
Ten T-mycoplasma strains isolated from the urine of male
students with nongonococcal urethritis were compared in immunodiffusion,
indirect hemagglutination (IHA), metabolic inhibition (MI),
and immunoelectrophoretic tests using antigens prepared from these
isolates and specific rabbit antisera. Immunodiffusion, MI, and IHA
tests revealed complex antigenic interrelationships among the
T-mycoplasmas, whereas immunoelectrophoretic...
This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...
