The detection of superoxide and implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Creator:: Robinson, Kristine M.
Abstract:: Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations declined range wide during the past 50 years. Grouse populations were 2-3 times larger than the current population as recently as the early 1970's. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, declines were attributed habitat degradation that caused reduced productivity. Because chick survival remains the...

The role of pre-event canopy storage in throughfall and stemflow by using isotopic tracers

Abstract:: Stable isotopes can be a valuable tool for tracing the redistribution, storage, and evaporation of water associated with canopy interception of rainfall. Isotopic differences between throughfall and rainfall have been attributed to three mechanisms: evaporative fractionation, isotopic exchange with ambient vapor, and temporal redistribution. We demonstrate the potential importance of...
