Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) and Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Impacted Sites : New PFAS Discovery and Sorption of Anionic, Zwitterionic, and Cationic PFASs

Creator:: Barzen-Hanson, Krista A.
Abstract:: Public attention and concern about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are increasing due to detection of PFASs in drinking water supplies, the environment, including remote locations, and wildlife and to the lowering of the federal health advisory levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in drinking water. Aqueous film-forming...

In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

Creator:: Husby, Kirsty A.
Abstract:: Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

Creator:: Apperson, K. Denise
Abstract:: Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...

Novel icosanoids from the red marine alga Farlowia mollis

Creator:: Solem, Michele Lee
Abstract:: Farlowia mollis is a marine red alga that grows in the intertidal region along the coast of Oregon. We began studying the chemistry of this alga after a survey of Oregon seaweeds revealed possibly interesting chemistry and antimicrobial activity in its crude organic extract. Over the past three years the...

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The Dental Hygienist’s Role

Creator:: Swanson Jaecks, Kelli M.
Abstract:: Recent scientific studies show strong correlations between oral and systemic disease, creating a crucial need for increased collaboration between the medical and dental professions. Interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and dental providers is emerging as a critical component to effective patient care. The role of the dental hygienist in interdisciplinary collaboration...

Novel oxylipins and other bioactive metabolites from marine algae

Creator:: Nagle, Dale George
Abstract:: I have participated in a drug discovery program designed to screen marine algae for inhibitors of cancer-related enzymes, antitumor compounds, antiinflammatory substances, and other agents of potential pharmaceutical utility. Over 1,500 lipid and aqueous extracts of marine plants and animals were surveyed for biomedical potential. Assays designed to screen extracts...

Natural products from tropical and temperate marine algae

Creator:: Bernart, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Following surveys of seaweeds in Oregon and the Caribbean, four algal species were selected for study on the basis of their crude extract biological activity or thin-layer chromatographic characteristics. Extracts were fractionated by normal phase chromatography, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Derivatives (methyl esters, acetates, and benzoates) of natural...

Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and alpha-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish, Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and α-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish

Creator:: Lebold, Katherine M.
Abstract:: Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biologically active eicosanoids and the oxidation of DHA gives rise to the...

Effects of dietary selenium and fish oil (MaxEPA) on arachidonic acid metabolism and hemostatic function in the rat

Creator:: Song, Jihyun
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the beneficial effects which the consumption of fish oil imparts on hemostatic function can be modified by the level of dietary selenium. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for eight weeks semipurified diets containing 7% corn oil (by weight) or 5.5%...

Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

Creator:: Gonzalez, Dulmelis
Abstract:: In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...
