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...

Early family risk and children's academic achievement

Creator:: Sektnan, Michaella A.
Abstract:: Children who have multiple family risk factors are at increased risk for poor developmental outcomes, including poor academic achievement. The present study focused on charting the pathways through which early family risk – as indexed by ethnic minority status, low maternal education, low family income, and chronic maternal depressive symptoms...

Variation of nutrients in forest tree foliage : a review

Creator:: Turner, John, Dice, Steven Farnham, 1938-, Cole, Dale W., Gessel, Stanley P., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: Variation in nutrient content of forest trees is discussed using the data from literature plus data collected by the authors. Sections are included on sampling and methods of expression of nutrient content. The emphasis is on possible causes of variation, which involves nutrient variation between years, within the year, and...

Control of p53 tumor suppressor and peroxiredoxin activity through shifts incellular redox balance

Creator:: Stoner, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Aerobic organisms have evolved many sensory mechanisms that allow response to oxidants in the environment. One area of interest is the relationship between the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53 and the redox state of thioredoxin. Human p53 activity is severely compromised in budding yeast lacking thioredoxin reductase. Evidence...

Seismotectonics in the eastern Precordillera, San Juan, Argentina : reconciling earthquakes and structural geology in the vicinity of the 1944 earthquake for a new model of crustal-scale deformation

Creator:: Schiffman, Celia Rose
Abstract:: This thesis synthesizes surficial structural data, a detailed analysis of an earthquake in 1944, and historical seismicity into a new model of crustal scale deformation in the eastern Precordillera in northwestern Argentina in the vicinity of San Juan. The eastern Precordillera was uplifted during previous thin-skinned deformation episodes, and is...
