  • Investigation of Procyanidins Used in Botanical Dietary Supplements

    Creator:
    Rue, Emily A.
    Abstract:
    Polyphenolic compounds found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, are an integral part of the human diet. Within polyphenols, proanthocyanidins are referred to as condensed tannins and encompass procyanidins, propelargonidins and prodelphinidins. Among these, procyanidins are the largest group. Recent interest in these compounds is related...

  • Emily Dickinson : Sensibility Against Rational Religion

    Creator:
    Johnson, Wendy L. (Wendy Louise), 1951-
    Abstract:
    Emily Dickinson's religious poetry of the nineteenth century reveals a sensibility that resists traditional, orthodox Christianity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate Dickinson's two-fold critique of rational religion. The poet does not merely oppose the existing pattern of interpretation with another; she questions the whole process of construing...

  • The role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the retina from light damage

    Creator:
    Derenick, Rhianna A.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: The xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula lutea of the retina. It is thought that the two plant pigments may play a role in preventing the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exposure to damaging light plays a role in retinal deterioration and AMD. The...

  • Brassicas, microbes, and metabolites : a multi-omic investigation of cruciferous vegetable phytochemical metabolism

    Creator:
    Bouranis, John A.
    Abstract:
    Phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, contain a multitude of bioactive compounds that prevent and suppress cancer and promote optimal health. Some of the health promoting effects of cruciferous vegetables are attributed to a class of compounds known as isothiocyanates (ITCs), a potent nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2...

  • The Effect of Intracellular Zinc Concentration on Immune Activation and Proinflammatory Response in THP-1 Monocytes

    Creator:
    Rinaldi, Nicole A.
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for many cellular functions, including the development and function of the immune system. The biological consequences of zinc deficiency illustrate the significance of zinc in human health. Zinc deficiency has been shown to cause the dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses, as...

  • 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....

  • Dietary soy and green tea in the prevention of prostate cancer

    Creator:
    Hsu, Anna
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared to the US, which has prompted interest in the chemo-preventative action of dietary components such as soy and green tea commonly found in Asian diets, such as soy and green tea. Studies have suggested that soy isoflavones and green tea...

  • 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...
