Regulation of muscle fat oxidation and storage by ACSL enzymes and effects of acute exercise training in humans

Creator:: Boechler, Victoria
Abstract:: The increase in obesity rates in both children and adults in the United States may be a result of impaired or dysregulation of fat metabolism. Long chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSLs) may be key regulators of skeletal muscle cell fat metabolism, including fat oxidation and storage. The purpose of the study...

Relationship between parasite load and diet quality in two desert bighorn sheep metapopulations in southern California

Creator:: Gibson, Sarah
Abstract:: The increased severity of unseasonal drought conditions in the American Southwest have resulted in herbivorous species, like the desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), receiving lower quality forage in their diet at less reliable frequency. The Mojave Desert and the Peninsular Mountain ranges also contain large variations in elevation, which...

Assessing how morphology of female desert bighorn sheep varies with climate in the Mojave Desert of California

Creator:: Torres, Jose A.
Abstract:: Understanding how spatial variation in climate correlates with phenotypic variation among individuals may offer insights about local adaptation, population performance, and species’ response to climate change. Desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) in the Mojave Desert of southern California experience a broad range of temperature and aridity, inhabiting mountain ranges...

The Effect of Varying Parameters on Web Vibration Analysis Accuracy

Creator:: Gladson, Kathleen Y.
Abstract:: The SpiderHarp is a bio-inspired electronic musical instrument that uses a localization algorithm developed at Oregon State University to translate plucks of its strings into musical notes. This localization algorithm was inspired by the way spiders locate prey in their webs. The SpiderHarp frame, sensors, and web design are also...

Creating Test Baking Methods Specifically for Whole-Wheat Sourdough Breads, In the Context of Local Grain Economies

Creator:: Jansen, Victoria E.
Abstract:: Recently local grains have become an area of economic growth. Local grain products, including whole-wheat and sourdough products, are increasingly in demand for their health benefits, unique flavor profiles, and association with local food movements. These local grain economies are beginning to boom, but they lack the technical aid that...

Examining the Human Relevance of a New Mouse Model of ALS and Observations on the Incidence in Human Populations

Creator:: Winkenbach, Lindsay
Abstract:: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....

Heart Disease Knowledge, Awareness, and Perceived Risk in Oregon State University Students

Creator:: Hirsch, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. but is often thought of as a man’s disease. Women with CVD, however, suffer poorer health outcomes due to previous education of stereotypically “male” signs and symptoms of heart attacks, despite the fact...

The Role of Nrf2 in Brain Cellular Senescence

Creator:: Ross, Grace K.
Abstract:: Aging is a major risk factor for the deterioration of biochemical pathways that lead to many chronic neurodegenerative disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's Disease). Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging, a condition characterized by stable growth arrest resulting in a cell that no longer divides, but is metabolically active....

Oregon's Implementation of Coordinated Care Organizations: An Examination of the Changing Healthcare Structure

Creator:: Diestelkamp, Timothy Ross
Abstract:: Due to inefficiencies and unsustainable growth in health expenditures, a new approach needed to be taken in the realm of healthcare. There was a need to increase efficiency and value in order to achieve health outcomes. Hence, arose the concept of the Coordinated Care Organization (CCO). CCOs are seen as...

The Effects of Toxicity Inhibitors on the Cytotoxicity of Cryoprotective Agents using a High-Throughput Experimental Set-up

Creator:: Ampo, Emi
Abstract:: Even with advanced medical technology, there is still an unmet need for organs to reduce the transplant waiting list and to advance organ-related research. Cryopreservation through vitrification is one possible solution to increase organ availability. A major challenge with cryopreservation of organs is the toxicity of the cryoprotectants (CPAs) that...
