Numerous investigations have suggested that dysregulation of the neurotransmitter glutamate (Glu) plays an important role in certain neuropsychiatric disorders, like depression. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with the most substantial physiological alteration of female...

Amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and the disease-modifying effects of phenelzine treatment
DownloadFall 2011
The project described in this thesis began with a broad analysis of the changes to amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations in the central nervous system (CNS) during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, an animal model of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). That study identified...

Amino acids are building blocks for protein synthesis and are essential to every metabolic process. A well-balanced diet is one in which all required amino acids are present in the food that is eaten. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and nutritional supplements can be used to make up...

Conformations of Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solutions by Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2012
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy has been utilized to reveal the detailed conformational distributions of the dominant serine species and leucine species in aqueous solutions under three representative pH conditions, together with vibrational absorption (VA) spectroscopy, density...

Sourdough fermentation can generate various peptides and amino acids to improve bread quality, such as taste, flavor and texture. The aim of this PhD dissertation was to investigate the synthesis mechanisms of bioactive and taste active peptides or amino acids during fermentation and their effect...

In rodents, stress and corticosteroids rapidly increase excitatory neurotransmission. During excitatory neurotransmission, glutamate concentrations are maintained by conversion of glutamine to glutamate. The hypothesis was that cortisol would alter human prefrontal glutamine or glutamate...

Effect of starter cultures on taste-active amino acids and survival of pathogenic Escherichia coli in dry fermented beef sausages
Download2018-08-01
Tang, Kai Xing, Shi, Tiange, Gänzle, Michael G.
The accumulation of taste-active compounds during ripening determines the taste of fermented meats; however, the contribution of defined starter cultures to glutamate during sausage ripening remains unknown. This study investigated the role of lactic acid bacteria and Staphylococcus carnosus on...

Evaluation of the threonine requirement and the bioavailability of threonine in feedstuffs in pregnant sows
DownloadFall 2010
Current recommendations for amino acid intake during pregnancy are for a constant amino acid intake throughout. However, the demand for amino acids changes from maternal tissue growth in early gestation to fetal, conceptus and mammary tissue development in late gestation. The availability of...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...
