Composition of flavonoid phenolic polymers isolated from red wine during maceration and significance of flavan-3-ols in foods pertaining to biological activity

Creator:: Aron, Patricia M.
Abstract:: Representing the most common flavonoid consumed in the American diet, the flavanols and their polymeric condensation products, the proanthocyanidins, are regarded as functional ingredients in various beverages, whole and processed foods, herbal remedies and supplements. Their presence in food affects food quality parameters including astringency, bitterness, sourness, sweetness, salivary viscosity,...

Investigations of gluten proteins from functional and historical perspective

Creator:: Zhang, Ying
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the world’s major staple food crops, with flour produced from starchy endosperm being used for breads, cakes, noodles and various other wheat-based foods. The unique bread making properties of wheat are primarily attributed to its gluten-forming storage proteins: gliadins and glutenins. This study investigated...

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....

Estimation of the energy cost of walking 10,000 steps

Creator:: Birdsley, Kari L.
Abstract:: There is a strong campaign underway to promote increased physical activity among the U.S. population. The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have presented physical activity recommendations in terms of the amount of time accumulated in physical activity and/or in terms of energy expenditure over the course of...

Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

Vitamin E and K interactions : investigating mechanisms of reduced vitamin K status in response to excess vitamin E

Creator:: Farley, Sherry Mae
Abstract:: The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...

Impact of weak and strong acids on the destruction of lactic acid bacteria during high pressure processing

Creator:: Sarangapani, Rama Krishna
Abstract:: High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) affects the pH of weak acids due to an increased degree of acid dissociation while under pressure. The temporary pH reduction by high pressure in such a case may influence the barotolerance of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of weak...

The role of leptin in normal and pathological bone resorption

Creator:: Philbrick, Kenneth Alan
Abstract:: Particles generated from wear of prosthesis joint bearing surfaces induce inflammation and promote pathological periprosthetic osteoclast-mediated bone resorption (osteolysis). Obesity increases the risk of prosthesis failure. However, despite being morbidly obese, leptin-deficient ob/ob mice are resistant to osteolysis. These findings suggest that leptin exerts effects that act to increase particle-induced...

Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and protein concentration effects

Creator:: Joshi, Omkar
Abstract:: Adipic dihydrazide-modified heparin was prepared and subsequently immobilized on surface-activated silica wafers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to quantify the elemental composition of the silica surface at each stage of activation and results showed that successful immobilization had taken place. Contact angle measurements were made to verify the high...

Chlordecone pretreatment promoted subcellular distribution of scavenger receptor class B type II to murine hepatic microsomes ; mass spectrometry detected hepatic soluble cholesterol binding proteins and comparison of protein iTRAQ ratios using ESI QTOF and MALDI TOF/TOF

Creator:: Scheri, Richard C.
Abstract:: Chlordecone belongs to the class of persistent organochlorine pesticides that are remarkably resistant to environmental degradation. Even though their use was banned in the United States in 1978, these compounds can still be detected in both humans and wildlife throughout the world. Previous work has shown that the pretreatment of...
