Development of block copolymer based nanocarriers for the solubilization and delivery of valspodar
DownloadFall 2011
One of the major causes of failure in cancer chemotherapy is multidrug resistance (MDR), where cancer cells become resistant to different types of anticancer drugs. Over-expression of membrane efflux pumps like P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which recognizes different chemotherapeutic agents and...

Evaluating the effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid along with arachidonic acid during the development of the immune system in early life.
DownloadSpring 2023
The immune system is immature at birth and the dietary fats provided during early life play an important role in the development of the infant’s immune system. The precursor omega-3 (n-3) and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) α-linolenic acid and linoleic acids, respectively, are essential...

Influence of lipids (arachidonic acid and cholesterol) on calcium signalling in rodent pancreatic beta cells
DownloadFall 2010
Ca2+ is an important mediator of stimulus-secretion coupling in beta cells of the pancreatic islets, which secrete insulin in response to elevation in plasma glucose concentration. I studied the actions of two lipids, arachidonic acid (AA) and cholesterol, on enzymatically-dissociated single...
