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...

Designed zinc finger proteins as novel therapeutics inhibiting the transcription of hepatitis B and duck hepatitis B viruses
DownloadFall 2010
The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronically infects 350 million individuals worldwide, leading to mortality by end-stage liver disease, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The vaccine to prevent HBV infection is highly effective but is not extensively available in endemic areas, resulting...

Forsyth, George W., Romancyia, D. A., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Wong, Jonathan P.
The B subunit of cholera toxin has been covalently attached to the surface of Uposomes made from a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphati- dylcholine and cholesterol. Adenylate cydase inhibitors and chloride conduc- tance inhibitors were encapsulated within the liposomes. These...

Oxidative stress mediates estrogen receptor independent killing and contributes to tamoxifen resistance
Download2016
Godbout, Roseline, Brindley, David N., McMullen, Todd, Mackey, John R., Benesch, Matthew, Mi, Si, Venkatraman, Ganesh, Liu, Rong-Zong, Curtis, Jonathan M., Tang, Xiaoyun, Bekele, Raie T.
Tamoxifen is the accepted therapy for patients with estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-positive breast cancer. However, clinical resistance to tamoxifen, as demonstrated by recurrence or progression on therapy, is frequent and precedes death from metastases. To improve breast cancer treatment it is vital...

Structural and functional analysis of transmembrane segment VI of the NHE1 isoform of the na+/H+ exchanger
Download2009-01-01
Tzeng, Jennifer, Lee, Brian L., Sykes, Brian D., Fliegel, Larry
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein. It resides on the plasma membrane of cells and regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of...

Structural and functional analysis of transmembrane XI of the NHE1 isoform of the na+/H+ exchanger
Download2009-01-01
Lee, Brian L., Li, Xiuju J., Liu, Yongsheng, Sykes, Brian D., Fliegel, Larry
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is a ubiquitously expressed integral membrane protein that regulates intracellular pH in mammals by extruding an intracellular H+ in exchange for one extracellular Na+. We characterized structural and functional aspects of the critical transmembrane (TM) segment XI...

The pulmonary vasculature during exercise in health and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the response of the pulmonary vasculature to exercise in health (including a pharmacological intervention) and in individuals with mild chronic obstructive lung disease. The first project studied the effect of a dopamine receptor blockade on...

The secretogranin II-derived peptide secretoneurin stimulates luteinizing hormone secretion from gonadotrophs.
Download2009
Chen, A., Grey, C.L., Wong, A.O.L., Somoza, G.M., López, G.C., Canosa, L.F., Zhao, E., Trudeau, V.L., Chang, J.P., Basak, A., Ko,W.
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...

Using EEG to examine inhibitory abilities in children: The effects of time pressure, physical activity, and emotion
DownloadFall 2018
The ability to inhibit inappropriate actions and irrelevant information is crucial for adaptive functioning. Inhibitory skills emerge early in life, with significant growth occurring during the period of early and middle childhood. The objective of this dissertation was to utilize...
