Oxygen, the invisible orchestrator of metabolism and disease : a focus on mitochondrial And peroxisomal dysfunction
… levels have far-reaching consequences on human physiology and health. Mitochondrial disorders are the most common inborn errors of metabolism, affecting approximately 1 in 5000 live births. Patients can present in infancy or adulthood with symptoms affecting multiple organ systems including …

Distal tubule bicarbonate reabsorption.
… was significantly increased in acidotic animals. Perfusion of tubules with sodium free solutions did not decrease this brisk reabsorptive flux, nor did perfusion of sodium free solutions which also contained amiloride. However, perfusion of tubules with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor …

The vitamins A and C status of the rat and guinea pig, as influenced by the level of vitamins A and C intake, diet composition, calorie intake and exposure to cold.
… A deficient test diet. In addition, the control animals on the new diet had a distinct tendency for a better weight gain, a smaller liver and an increased liver storage of vitamin A. Exogenous vitamin C administered from the onset of the experiment did not retard nor ameliorate the course of the …

The regulation of adrenomedullin and neuroglobin in adult zebrafish during exposure to hypoxia
During exposure to hypoxia, many vertebrates undergo behavioural, biochemical, and physiological changes in an attempt to overcome the lack of oxygen and thus maintain a constant metabolic rate. Numerous genes are known to be influenced by hypoxia in mammalian systems. Many of the genes that have …

The effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on antioxidant status and survival in the zebrafish.
Increased exposure to solar radiation in the UV-B range (280-320 nm) is occurring globally at least partly due to anthropogenic degradation of stratospheric ozone. The direct impact of present ambient (1.95 W/m$\sp2$) and sub-ambient doses of UV-B radiation on muscle and skin tissue antioxidants in …

Physiological Diversity of Centrarchid Fishes
The focus of my dissertation research was assessing the inter- and intra-specific physiological diversity of centrarchid fishes (freshwater sunfish), and examining how this variation shapes their conservation needs. To evaluate inter-specific physiological diversity, an integrated field and …

Interacting Premotor Networks Mediating Behavioral Selection in the Predatory Marine Snail Pleurobranchaea Californica
These results suggest that premotor neurons may have distinct multifunctional or dedicated roles in behavioral selection. Multifunctional neurons like As1-4 may excite multiple networks, whereas one role for dedicated network neurons is to exclude incompatible behavior by inhibiting other …

Genetic and Sex Steroid Hormone Contributions to the Sexual Dimorphism in Murine Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis
We found that the composition of the adjuvant used to induce EAE had important implications on the degree of genetic susceptibility necessary to result in disease. We also found that of the many quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified to date, genetic linkages to mouse chromosomes 7 and 11 were …

Effects of Habitat on Physiology and Infection in Aquatic Turtles
Finally, Salmonella infections in slider turtles were not significantly affected by the host or habitat characteristics measured in this study. No turtles out of 100 were shedding Salmonella. Dissections of 73 turtles, however, revealed that turtles in the region had a moderate prevalence (11%) of …

Estrogen Receptors and Estrogen-Regulated Genes in the Male Reproductive Tract
Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) is essential for male fertility. The bisexual role and importance of estrogen in reproduction was established by the previous studies. However, there is considerable variation, both within and between species, in reports of nuclear steroid receptor localizations in …

Characterization of the Epididymal Region of the Rooster
The epididymal region (rete testis, efferent ductules and epididymal duct) of the male reproductive tract is essential for the production of fertile sperm. Two diseases or dysfunctions of avian efferent ductules resulting in decreased fertility have been reported. Efferent ductules comprise the …

Neural Mechanisms of Decision-Making: Modulation of the Feeding Neural Network by Nitric Oxide and Serotonin in the Predatory Marine Snail Pleurobranchaea Californica
Animals make feeding and avoidance decisions weighing the cost of foraging with potential metabolic gains based on the their experience and internal state (i.e. hunger level). Here, I describe the potential roles and mechanisms of two endogenous neuromodulators, the signal molecule nitric oxide …
