  • The epidemiology of sudden oak death in Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Peterson, Ebba K.
    Abstract:
    The phytopathogen Phytophthora ramorum (Werres, DeCock & Man in't Veld), causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD) of oaks (Quercus spp.) and tanoaks (Notholithocarpus densiflorus syn.

  • Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

    Creator:
    Rattray, Rogan MacKay
    Abstract:
    There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...

  • Vitamin E and the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein during zebrafish embryogenesis

    Creator:
    Miller, Galen W.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis and type 2 diabetes complications

    Creator:
    Tripathy, Sasmita
    Abstract:
    Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease of multi-complications affecting more than 20 million US adults. Hyperglycemia is the classic clinical feature of diabetes, and uncontrolled hyperglycemia leads to deadly health complications. Thus, control of blood glucose represents a major goal for diabetics. Human and rodent studies revealed another...

  • Long-chain (n-3) PUFA and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    Creator:
    Depner, Christopher Michael
    Abstract:
    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as excess hepatic lipid accumulation, in the absence of excess alcohol consumption and chronic liver disease. NAFLD can range in severity from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is defined as hepatic steatosis with inflammation and hepatic injury and describes...

  • A proteomic approach to 1,2-dichloroethane bioactivation and reaction with redox-active protein disulfide isomerase

    Creator:
    Kaetzel, Rhonda Sue
    Abstract:
    Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a member of the thioredoxin superfamily, contains two domains with significant sequence homology to the active sites in thioredoxin. PDI facilitates the folding of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), binds hormones and Ca²⁺, catalyzes the glutathione dependent reduction of dehydroascorbate, serves as a major...

  • The Response to Sulforaphane in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cells

    Creator:
    Watson, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables and has been under investigation as a cancer chemopreventive agent for over two decades. The compound is well tolerated and has been shown to slow cancer progression in several different pre-clinical models of carcinogenesis, such as of the lung, breast and colon....

  • Numerical study of flow maldistribution in microchannels using fully resolved simulation

    Creator:
    Martin, Mathieu Georges Charles
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses numerical simulation of flow maldistribution in microchannels. Microchannels are often associated with two phase-flows which can generate many problems such as plugging the channel or perturbing the flow. In this study we have used CFD and fully resolved technique to simulate what would happen in the case...
