Introduction: ABO-incompatible organ transplants (ABOi-Tx) recipients are at high-risk of rapid rejection mediated by ABO antibodies (ABO Abs). To manage and expand ABOi-Tx, it is necessary to understand the mechanism(s) by which natural and induced ABO Abs develop. Prior studies have used...

This thesis examines the cellular basis of the acute (<1 hour) anti-allodynic actions of the clinically-approved neuropathic pain drug gabapentin (GBP) in rats at the level of the spinal dorsal horn and primary somatosensory cortex. Although the clinical effectiveness of the alpha-2-delta (α2δ)...

The reason and functional relevance of why we sleep continues to perplex researchers. One fundamental reason behind why sleep remains a mystery is because it is challenging to study given how easily it is disrupted. Anesthesia has been suggested to be a model for studying sleep given the...

Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a multimeric adhesive glycoprotein that is exclusively expressed in endothelial cells (EC) and megakaryocytes. This procoagulant protein is involved in maintaining primary hemostasis and thrombus formation. However, there are pathological and physiological...

Masters thesis. Qualitatively and quantitatively documents the agonistic behaviour of captive male brown lemmings. Lemmings used in the experiments were originally from Point Barrow and maintained since 1962 as a colony at the Arctic Research Center in College, Alaska. Shipments to the University...

Antagonistic modulation of spontaneous neural network activities in isolated newborn rat brainstem preparations by opioids and methylxanthines
DownloadFall 2012
Apnea of prematurity is a common problem among the infants born before term pregnancy. Administration of respiratory stimulating drugs methylxanthines is the most frequent therapy, often in combination with the use of intubation. Opioids are used to reduce the pain associated with intubation,...

Development and use of a gnotobiotic murine model for beef cattle to evaluate competitive exclusion of Escherichia coli O157:H7 using commensal Escherichia coli strains, and to ascertain the impact of physiological stress on the host-bacteria interaction
DownloadFall 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen, and cattle are considered the primary reservoir of this bacterium. Research was undertaken to ascertain factors that regulate competitive exclusion of E. coli O157:H7. A gnotobiotic (GB) murine model...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...
