Assessment of the mechanisms exerting glucose-lowering effects of dried peas in glucose-intolerant rats
Download2012
Jin, Alena, Field, Catherine J., Yee, Homun, Kozicky, Lisa, Morris, Jill, Chan, Catherine B., Bell, Rhonda C., Ha, Christine, Whitlock, Kevin A., Ozga, Jocelyn A.
The present study compared the effects of feeding uncooked pea fractions (embryo v. seed coat) on glucose homeostasis in glucose-intolerant rats and examined potential mechanisms influencing glucose homeostasis. Rats were made glucose intolerant by high-fat feeding, after which diets containing...

Biofouling is a serious problem in the medical, marine, and several other industrial fields as it poses significant health risks and financial losses. Therefore, there is a great need to endow surfaces with antifouling and antimicrobial properties to mitigate biofouling. For long-term biofouling...

Characterizing the Mesolimbic Dopamine Reward Pathway in a Magel2-null Mouse, a Model of Prader-Willi Syndrome
DownloadFall 2016
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by extreme hyperphagia that can lead to severe obesity. The abnormal motivation to eat in PWS suggests a disruption in the hedonic feeding pathway, which is feeding based on reward as opposed to physiological need. Hedonic feeding is...

Ia afferents conveying proprioceptive information to the spinal cord, and the regulation of action potential conduction along these afferents, are vital for motor function. After injury to the central nervous system (CNS), hyperexcitability in proprioceptive and other afferent pathways to the...

Cuticular plasticization in the tick, Amblyomma hebraeum (Acari: Ixodidae): possible roles of monoamines and cuticular pH
Download2010
Reynolds, S. E., Flynn, P. C., Kaufman, W. R.
Abstract: The degree of plasticization of the alloscutal cuticle of a 'hard' (ixodid) tick, Amblyomma hebraeum, and a 'soft' (argasid) tick, Ornithodoros moubata, was assessed throughout the blood-feeding period. Cuticle viscosity was calculated from rate of creep of cuticle under constant load...

GABAA Receptors and Tonic Inhibition: Towards an Improved Understanding of Agonist Binding and in vivo Expression of the Extrasynaptic a4b3d Subtype
DownloadFall 2013
The GABAA receptor is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the central nervous system. Receptors containing the delta subunit generate tonic inhibition due to their extrasynaptic expression, high affinity for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and slow densensitization kinetics. The...

Hypophysiotropic action of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the goldfish: Immunohistochemical demonstration of PACAP in the pituitary, PACAP stimulation of growth hormone release from pituitary cells, and molecular cloning of goldfish pituitary type I PACAP receptor
Download1998
Shea, W.L.C., Wong, A.O.L., Chang, J.P., Tse, L.Y., Leung, M.Y., Chow, B.K.C.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a member of the glucagon/secretin peptide family, and its molecular structure is highly conserved in vertebrates. In this study, the functional role of PACAP in regulating GH release in the goldfish was investigated. Using...

Investigating the Effects of N2-Acetylphenelzine in the Sexes in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
DownloadFall 2017
Chronic pain is a highly prevalent symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and affects approximately half of patients at some stage of the disease. MS affects women more frequently than men and neuropathic pain is also reported as more severe, and frequent, in females with the disease. The underlying...
