Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

Plasma cholesterol levels, atherosclerosis and liver damage in rabbits fed cyclopropenoid fatty acids

Creator:: Ferguson, Thomas Lyle
Abstract:: In this five-week feeding study male New Zealand rabbits were fed diets containing cyclopropene fatty acids (CPFA), diets containing cholesterol, and diets with both CPFA and cholesterol added to test the effect of CPFA on cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis induction. When CPFA-fed animals were compared with control animals, they tended...

Impact of weak and strong acids on the destruction of lactic acid bacteria during high pressure processing

Creator:: Sarangapani, Rama Krishna
Abstract:: High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) affects the pH of weak acids due to an increased degree of acid dissociation while under pressure. The temporary pH reduction by high pressure in such a case may influence the barotolerance of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of weak...

Effects of chronic estrogen treatment on uterine nucleic acids

Creator:: Rinard, Gilbert Allen
Abstract:: The effects of estrogen treatment on uterine weight, uterine nucleic acid content and adrenal weight were studied. Daily doses of 0.05μg or 0.1 μg of Estradiol 17-β were administered subcutaneously to seven day castrated female rats for periods varying from 0 to 168 days. After two days of treatment uterine...

Steroids regulate α2,6-sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates in murine uterine epithelium at the time of implantation

Creator:: Gaza-Bulseco, Georgeen S.
Abstract:: Sialic acids are involved in many cellular interactions. They can serve as an adhesion ligand or act as an inhibitor to cellular adhesion by charge repulsion or by masking potential ligands. Although sialic acids are implicated in the process of blastocyst implantation, their expression and regulation in uterine epithelium of...

Elevated ceramide levels contribute to the age-associated decline in vascular endothelial nitric oxide : pharmacologic administration of lipoic acid partially restores function

Creator:: Smith, Anthony R.
Abstract:: The vascular endothelium is a single cell layer that lines the lumen of the entire vasculature. It is the site of synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilatory compound synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). NO causes intracellular calcium sequestration of the vascular smooth muscle cells, relaxing and dilating...

Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

Creator:: Gonzalez, Dulmelis
Abstract:: In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...

Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and alpha-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish, Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and α-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish

Creator:: Lebold, Katherine M.
Abstract:: Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biologically active eicosanoids and the oxidation of DHA gives rise to the...

Growth of lactococci relative to antibiotic and quaternary ammonium compounds

Creator:: Valladao, Marilin
Abstract:: The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the effect of several antibiotics and quaternary ammonium sanitizers upon growth of lactic acid bacteria. Section I reports the purification of beta-lactamase from Lactococcus cremoris PR-108, by ion exchange chromatography, using the chromogenic substrate pyridine-2-azo-p-dimethylaniline (PADAC) as the enzymatic indicator. Section...
