Evaluation of responses to selection and association among specific traits in three populations of swine

Creator:: Smith, Edward J. M. S.
Abstract:: Oregon State University swine herd records of 456 litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in performance of a Composite population to parental Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat thickness, loin eye...

Effect of a direct-fed microbial on performance of single comb white leghorn chickens

Creator:: Nahashon, Samuel N.
Abstract:: Six experiments were carried out with Single Comb White Leghorn laying chickens to assess the effect of feeding a source of direct-fed microbials (Lactobacillus; Lacto) and its carrier [condensed cane molasses solubles (CCMS)] on the retentions of fat, nitrogen and several minerals; on the status of the pH of the...

Sources of influence on passive and active immunoglobulin G responses in swine

Creator:: Chitko, Carol G.
Abstract:: Thirty-seven Yorkshire sows were bred to one of six boars; 34 of the sows were verified pregnant at 42 d of gestation. These sows were innoculated with ovine serum albumin (OSA) in Freunds' complete adjuvant at 65 d and later given a second injection in Freunds.' incomplete adjuvant 93 d....

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...

Pharmacokinetic modeling and simulations of gastrointestinal transit effects on drug pharmacokinetics from enteric-coated pellet formulations and their applications

Creator:: Watanalumlerd, Prapoch
Abstract:: Effects of gastrointestinal transit on plasma concentrations of drugs from enteric-coated pellet formulations were demonstrated using pharmacokinetic models describing plasma concentrations of drugs from various enteric-coated pellet formulations. Gastric emptying time, lag time of emptying, and drug release rate from pellets in the small intestine, along with other pharmacokinetic parameters...

Improving ecological risk assessment of pesticides for nontarget terrestrial vertebrates

Creator:: Wang, Guiming
Abstract:: The Quotient Method (QM) is used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in ecological risk assessments of pesticides for nontarget organisms. The QM requires several assumptions regarding exposure and hazards of pesticides to wildlife; several of these assumptions have not been tested. During 1997-99, I conducted three experiments...

Wheat flour arabinoxylans in soft wheat end-use quality

Creator:: Asawaprecha, Sunida
Abstract:: Little is known about the effects of arabinoxylans (AX) on noodle quality. The aim of this study was to observe interrelationships between wheat flour AX, SRC tests, and noodle quality attributes, and to investigate the use of SRCs to predict cookie diameter. Cookie diameter is the most common index of...

Advanced studies on cyclic amino acids in neurological signaling and peptide antibiotics

Creator:: Blanchard, David, L.
Abstract:: L-pipecolic acid (L-PA) is the higher homolog of proline. It occurs naturally in many organisms, including primates, as an intermediate in lysine degradation. The pathway by which lysine is converted into L-pipecolic acid employs the enzyme Lpipecolate oxidase (L-PO), and appears to be tissue specific to the central nervous system...

Protein-protein interactions in the bacteriophage T4 dNTP synthetase complex

Creator:: Shen, Rongkun
Abstract:: The enzymes of dNTP synthesis in T4 infection associate to form a multienzyme complex, the T4 dNTP synthetase complex, facilitating the flow of metabolites en route to dNTPs, and their subsequent flow into DNA. Study of protein-protein interactions helps one to understand how the enzymes in the complex are organized...

Factors affecting semen quality and their effects on the fertilizing ability of broiler breeder spermatozoa using a fluorometric assay

Creator:: Bootwalla, Salim Mohsin
Abstract:: Three distinct studies using an ethidium bromidedigitonin fluorometric assay were conducted to determine if the fertilizing ability of individually caged broiler breeder males (BBM) could be enchanced by nutrition, breeding and semen extender viscosity. The first study evaluated the effects on the spermatozoal quality of BBM by feeding corn-soybean meal...
