The effects of N-acetylcysteine infusion on performance, glutathione and ion regulation during voluntary exercise in humans
The production of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle has been linked with muscle fatigue. Infusion of the antioxidant compound 7V-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced fatigability in electrically evoked human muscle contractions, but numerous adverse reactions were reported. No studies have …

Characterization of neural ion regulation dysfunction during insult and evaluation of micro-opioid receptor activation during simulated ischemia in the pre-botzinger complex
… dependent upon the cells' abilities to maintain ionic homeostasis across their plasma membranes. Even slight alterations in intracellular or extracellular can have a devastating effect on excitability and neural vitality. This thesis investigates several concepts related to ion flux. First, it …

Characterization of Na+/H+Exchanger-3 (Nhe3) in the Gills of Longhorn Sculpin (Myoxocephalus Octodecemspinosus)
Acid-base regulation is a vital mechanism in homeostasis. Fish must maintain optimal physiological acid-base parameters during changes in an aquatic habitat. Environmental factors such as changes in salinity affect fish ability to maintain optimal blood plasma ion concentrations. Ion regulation …

Accelerated simulations and computer-aided drug design of membrane proteins
… They play key roles in physiological functions, such as signal transduction, transport, ion regulation and enzymatic activities. Malfunction of these proteins result in deadly human diseases, such as paralysis, cancer, heart failure and Alzheimer’s diseases (AD). Despite the importance, the …

Effects of acidification on the crayfish Cambarus bartonii bartonii in southern Appalachian streams
Population biology and acid tolerance of the crayfish Cambarus bartonii bartonii (Fabricius) from southern Appalachian Mountain streams were investigated. Field studies were conducted primarily from May through October, 1985 at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory (U. S. Forest Service Southeastern …

The physiological effects of elevated carbon dioxide, in the context of non-physical fish barriers, on unionid mussels
… by both natural (daily and seasonal fluctuations) and anthropogenic (climate change and more recently non-physical fish barriers) sources. Carbon dioxide has proven very effective at causing avoidance and deterring fish movement. This is promising for its use as a non-physical barrier; …
