Inflammation, immune suppression, and iron status in endurance athletes and the effects of antioxidant supplementation

Creator:: Hopkins, Dawn Marie Weseli
Abstract:: During extreme exercise, athletes experience increased inflammation that is similar to the acute phase response. Endurance athletes, distance runners in particular, are also more susceptible to compromised iron stores. This study evaluated inflammation, immune function and iron status in athletes completing a 50K ultramarathon. Twenty-two well-trained distance runners, 11 males...

Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

Creator:: Tong, Tony T.
Abstract:: Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

Assessing the phosphorus and potassium balances in Oregon's dairies

Creator:: Higgs, Kathryn N.
Abstract:: A field study was conducted to assess phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations of both lactating and dry cow diets on Oregon's dairies. Thirty-seven dairy farms, located in western Oregon, were grouped according to geographic region, valley (V) or coast (C), and herd size, small (S) or large (L). Farms...

Fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces : history dependence and adsorption time effects

Creator:: Lee, Hyo Jin
Abstract:: Heparin was modified with adipic diliydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica. Contact angle measurements were made to determine changes in surface at various stages of the derivatization. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze the elemental composition of the surface at each step of immobilizing heparin as well and...

The role of copper and its chelation by tetrathiomolybdate in inflammation and atherosclerosis

Creator:: Wei, Hao
Abstract:: Endothelial activation with increased expression of cellular adhesion molecules, chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines critically contributes to vascular inflammation and the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. By affecting redox-sensitive cell signaling pathways and transcription factors, redox-active transition metal ions, such as copper and iron, may play an important role in these...

Determination of ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate as human biomarkers of alcohol exposure in urine by liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with large volume injection

Creator:: Hu, Yan
Abstract:: This research was undertaken to develop a sensitive, selective, and rapid analytical method to measure ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) in urine as urinary biomarkers of alcohol exposure. Large-volume injection (LVI) coupled with liquid chromatography / electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was used to eliminate the need for either...

Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

Creator:: Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
Abstract:: Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

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...

The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

Creator:: Song, Yang
Abstract:: Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...

Plasma carotenoids and retinol and dietary intake : association with in situ and invasive cervical carcinomas in Bangkok, Thailand

Creator:: Kaunda, Jean R.
Abstract:: There is a strong evidence that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the key causative agent of cervical cancer. However, the majority of women who are exposed to the oncogenic HPV do not develop invasive cervical cancer, suggesting that other factors could play a role in the cause and progression of cervical...
