Fall 2015
Abstract The ability to identify and remove sub-fertile boars from the breeding herd is critical to improving reproductive efficiency of pork production systems. Use of semen from sires exhibiting sub-fertility can result in decreased sow pregnancy and farrowing rates, as well as smaller litter...

Characterization of the Mitochondrial Phenotype Associated with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
DownloadSpring 2017
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of intra-hepatic bile ducts. The autoimmune nature of PBC involves humoral and cell-mediated responses that target endogenous mitochondrial proteins. It is thought that the breakdown of...

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...

Combined effect of pressure-assisted thermal processing and antioxidants on the retention of conjugated linoleic acid in milk
Download2015
Saldaña, Marleny D.A., Martinez-Monteagudo, Sergio I.
The effect of pressure-assisted thermal processing (PATP) in combination with seven synthetic antioxidants was evaluated on the retention of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in enriched milk. Milk rich in CLA was first saturated with oxygen, followed by the addition of either catechin, cysteine,...

Design and synthesis of arylthiophene-2-Carbaldehydes via suzuki-miyaura reactions and their biological evaluation
Download2013
Riaz, Muhammad, Zubair, Muhammad, Ali, Shaukat, Rasool, Nasir, Ullah, Aman, Nasim, Faiz-ul-Hassan, Rashid, Umer, Yaqoob, Asma
A series of various novel 4-arylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde compounds were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with different arylboronic pinacol esters/acids. The synthesized products were screened for their antibacterial, haemolytic, antiurease, and nitric...

Development and application of mass spectrometry for bioanalysis of proteins and metabolites
DownloadSpring 2011
The proteome, a hybrid term from protein and genome, is the total set of proteins expressed by a genome in a cell, tissue, or organism at a given time. Proteomics, the study of the proteome, is concerned with a variety of topics such as identity, quantity, activity, structure, protein-protein...

Development and Applications of Mass Spectrometric Methods for Proteome Analysis and Protein Sequence Characterization
DownloadFall 2013
Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in proteomic work for protein identification and characterization. A key to the success of MS for protein analysis is related to sample preparation. Current sample preparation methods do not meet all the needs of protein or proteome analysis. My thesis work...

Development and Applications of Stable Isotope Labelling Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry for Quantitative Proteomics
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis describes the characterization, automation, and applications of a stable isotope labelling method for quantitative proteomics by mass spectrometry. Known as 2MEGA, the method uses guanidinylation to convert peptide lysine residues to homoarginine followed by reductive methylation of...

Fall 2012
The overall goal of this thesis research is to develop a spectral searching strategy capable of identifying peptide sequences from MS/MS spectra with high sensitivity and accuracy. First, a shotgun proteome analysis method was developed and successfully applied to the identification of proteins...
