Respiration, Acid/Base, Ammonia and Ionoregulatory Strategies in the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii)
DownloadFall 2016
Hagfish feed on putrefied carrion, which poses several environmental challenges to the scavenger including hypoxia (Low PO2), hypercapnia (high PCO2) and high environmental ammonia (HEA). To any other organism, these conditions would be physiologically challenging; however, hagfish seem to have...

Fall 2013
Solubility of glucose and lactose in subcritical water (SCW) was first determined at different pressures and temperatures. Sugar solubility increased with temperature but decreased with an increase in pressure. Then, carbohydrates and phenolics were extracted from lentil husk and cotyledon using...

The effect of oral lipids and lipoproteins on the biodistribution, metabolism and electrocardiographic side-effects of halofantrine
DownloadSpring 2011
In the past, hyperlipidemia (HL) has been shown to affect the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of lipophilic drugs extensively bound to lipoproteins, including halofantrine (HF). The present thesis examined the effect of HL on the biodistribution, metabolism and electrocardiographic...

The Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water on Exercise Capacity and Metabolic Fuel Selection in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
DownloadFall 2022
Hydraulic fracturing is an increasingly popular technique for unconventional hydrocarbon extraction in Canada. As its popularity continues to grow, concerns are being raised regarding its waste product, hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water (FPW), and its effects on the environment....

The interaction of phenelzine with human monoamine oxidase B: characterization and consequences
DownloadSpring 2022
Phenelzine (PLZ) is a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor developed in the 1960s which has been used clinically for psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders. However, despite over 60 years of research, the mechanism by which PLZ exerts its effects on MAO has yet to be...
