  • 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...

  • Cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases in the mosquito, Culex pipiens

    Creator:
    Baldridge, Gerald D.
    Abstract:
    A sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation technique for obtaining microsomes has been developed. This technique has advantages over the classic differential centrifugation technique, in that it is faster, is better suited to work with small quantities of tissue, and offers the opportunity to work with a defined microsomal sub-cellular fraction, rather than...

  • B-Naphthoflavone induction and its effect on hepatic phospholipid metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

    Creator:
    Harris, Marcia Elaine
    Abstract:
    The induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes is a complex biochemical process manifested not only by increases in various cytochrome P-450 isozymes and related activities, but also by alterations in endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Little work has been done to examine how cytochrome P-450 inducing agents influence other cellular processes, such as phospholipid...

  • 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...

  • 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)...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • Using p-adic valuations to decrease computational error

    Creator:
    Limmer, Douglas J.
    Abstract:
    The standard way of representing numbers on computers gives rise to errors which increase as computations progress. Using p-adic valuations can reduce error accumulation. Valuation theory tells us that p-adic and standard valuations cannot be directly compared. The p-adic valuation can, however, be used in an indirect way. This gives...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    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...
