Antioxidants in Chicken Egg Yolk: Effects of Cooking, Storage and Gastrointestinal Digestion
DownloadSpring 2015
Nimalaratne, Liyana Arachchilage Chamila K.
Eggs are one of the most nutritious and economically affordable foods. They contain high quality proteins and lipids and serve as an important source of vitamins and minerals. Despite the nutritional importance, the egg industry is vulnerable to the consumers’ perception about egg cholesterol and...

Are Sex and Estrogen Modulators of Sympathetic Vascular Control in Resting and Contracting Skeletal Muscle?
DownloadSpring 2018
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether sex and estrogen modulate sympathetic neurovascular control in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. This thesis also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of sex and estrogen on neurovascular control would be mediated by the signal...

MacDonald, G., Radermacher, A.
The calibrated DOSTOC, NUSTOC and UNSTOC models from 1989 were used effectively to simulate measured 1990 Athabasca River water quality. Changes in effluent loadings at the two pulp mills and an increase in river flows in the lower Athabasca Basin accounted for some noticeable improvements in...

Beneficial effects of simulated gastro-intestinal digests of fried egg and its fractions on blood pressure, plasma lipids and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Download2014
Majumder, Kaustav, Jahandideh, Forough, Morton, Jude S., Davidge, Sandra T., Kaufman, Susan, Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Panahi, Sareh, Wu, Jianping
Background We have previously characterized several antihypertensive peptides in simulated digests of cooked eggs and showed blood pressure lowering property of fried whole egg digest. However, the long-term effects of this hydrolysate and its fractions on blood pressure are not known. Therefore,...

Abstract: Introduction: Partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO) is a ubiquitous problem that results in renal damage. We hypothesize that change in the bladder progresses over time. Methods: Fischer rats underwent surgical pBOO for 2, 4, 8, or 13 weeks and were compared to shams. Urodynamic...

Can L-arginine Influence the Acute Hormonal, Metabolic, and Physiological Responses at Rest and Prior to Exercise?
DownloadFall 2012
L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid and has recently been purported as ergogenic for both strength and aerobic athletes; however, the value of oral L-arginine supplementation in physically active participants is controversial. The purpose of this dissertation was threefold: first...

Characterization of hypertrophic scar formation in nude and knockout mice deficient in T, B and natural killer cells
DownloadSpring 2012
Introduction: Hypertrophic scar (HSc) is a fibroproliferative disorder lacking a relevant animal model. Our objective is to characterize proliferative scars in human xenografts generated after grafting human skin onto mice deficient in T, B and natural killer cells. Methods: Nude, T-cell receptor...

CHROMATOGRAPHY APPROACHES FOR ANALYZING FRYING OILS AND ASSESSING THE ANTIOXIDATIVE ABILITY OF SITOSTEROL
DownloadFall 2013
The novel utility of sitosterol as an antioxidant in frying oils is explained mechanistically based on physical organic chemistry principles. The antioxidative effect of sitosterol is attributed to the conversion of sterol to steradiene by the 1, 2 elimination of water, which may be catalyzed by...
