Skeletal muscle proteolysis after fatigue and exercise-induced injury

Creator:: Marley, Kevin
Abstract:: Skeletal muscle damage induced by lengthening ("eccentric" or "pliometric") contractions cause an immediate loss in maximal tetanic force (P₀) and an increase in protein degradation by unidentified endogenous mechanisms. We hypothesized that increased proteolysis following active lengthening injury is mediated by the Ca²⁺ dependent protease calpain. To test this hypothesis...

Effects of Dried Chicory Root on Parasite Loads and Complete Blood Count of Sheep

Creator:: Kirschten, Haley M.
Abstract:: Growing concerns over the rise of anthelmintic resistant populations of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) have led producers to look for alternative means of treatment. These sentiments have been echoed by organic producers, who are restricted from the use of synthetically derived anthelmintics in the US. Chicory has emerged as a potential...

Growth pathways in feline oral squamous cell carcinoma

Creator:: Harris, Krystal, L.
Abstract:: Background Bcl11b, previously CTIP2, is a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor involved in the development of keratinocytes, teeth, T lymphocytes, and nervous tissue. Expression of Bcl11b has been reported in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and increased expression correlates with poorly differentiated tumors. This study aimed to...

The effect of Blastocystis sp. ST1 on the expression of serotonin transporter,tryptophan hydroxylase, toll-like receptor 2, and toll-like receptor 4 in CACO-2 cellculture

Creator:: Lawrence, Yuri Alexander, 1980-
Abstract:: Blastocystis spp. is a common intestinal parasite in humans and animals that has been associated with acute or chronic digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. Serotonin mediates intestinal motility, sensation, and secretory function in the normal intestinal tract. Serotonin (5-HT) signaling is decreased in animal models of colitis, as...

Culturing uncultured environmental microorganisms

Creator:: Connon, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Research on natural environments, over the last decade, is replete with microbial diversity studies that used culture-independent approaches. The cloning and sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes has been the driving force in the expansion of awareness about the great diversity of previously undiscovered microorganisms. Well-known uncultured groups of microorganisms...

Evaluation of serum amyloid A and haptoglobin as prognostic indicators for horses in a referral population

Creator:: Westerman, Trina L.
Abstract:: Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...

Molecular characterization of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in early equine osteochondrosis, Molecular characterization of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in early equine osteochondrosis

Creator:: Kinsley, Marc
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to elucidate the expression of signaling molecules associated with the Wnt signaling pathway in cartilage of prepubescent foals and determine their association with chondrocytes located at the osteochondral junction and cartilage canals. Our hypothesis was that increased expression of the components of the Wnt...

Influence of River Plumes on Larval Fish Distributions, Predator-Prey Relationships, and Fitness in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Axler, Kelia E.
Abstract:: River plumes discharging into continental shelf waters have the potential to influence patchiness of larval fishes, prey, and gelatinous predators. Using a high-resolution plankton imaging system, we sampled larval fishes, copepods, and planktonic predators (ctenophores, hydromedusae, and siphonophores) across multiple freshwater pulses exiting the mouth of Mobile Bay (Alabama, USA)...

Purification and characterization of recombinant calpain-5

Creator:: Wang, Mei-Chuan
Abstract:: Recombinant human calpain-5 was expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus system. The expressed calpain-5 was purified by both traditional chromatography and by affinity-column chromatography. Both methods yielded active protease. Calpain-5 displayed very limited hydrophobicity. This indicated that calpain-5 is not a membrane binding protein. Calpain-5 had pI of 8.3....

Relative influence of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA

Creator:: Lafontaine, Scott
Abstract:: The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...
