The Effect of a 20-25 calories % Fat Diet on Plasma Thromboxane B₂ Levels in Human Subjects
… Fasting blood samples were drawn at zero, two, and four weeks and analyzed for plasma TXB₂ and serum lipids. Plasma TXB₂ was significantly increased the first two weeks with a subsequent decrease the final two weeks. Values were still significantly elevated at four weeks when compared with …

Vegetable Entrees in Nitrogen Balance and Obesity Studies
… than diet may have contributed to these results and are discussed in the thesis. Hemoglobin, serum cholesterol and total serum proteins did not change significantly during the study. The average true digestibility of 5 of the subjects was 85 percent. It was concluded that this pure vegetarian …

The Effects of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, Docosahexaenoic Acid and 5-Fluorouracil on Human Breast Cancer Cells
It is well documented that vitamin D and DHA have antiproliferative effects on a variety of human cancers, including breast cancer. Studies have shown that a combination approach to cancer treatment is more effective than any one treatment administered alone. In this study, human mammary epithelial …

Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Blackberry Phenolic and Volatile Compounds
… of this research are to profile the phenolic and volatile composition of 16 blackberry genotypes harvested at the Fruit Research Center of the University of Arkansas and to evaluate the antiinflammatory capacities of three selected genotypes on inflamed cells. Phenolic and volatile profiles …

Antiproliferative Activity of Carotenoids, Phenolic Compounds, and Volatile Terpenoids in Carrots (Daucus carota L.)
… an association between high carrot consumption and low prevalence of cancer. This observation has been thought to be attributed to carrot carotenoids. Despite this, various intervention trials have displayed no changes in incidence or increased incidence of cancer with carotenoid …

Nutritional Supplementation and Skeletal Muscle Health in Chronic Diseases
… include obesity, aging, heart diseases, cancer and many others. This thesis mainly focuses on obesity and aging. Skeletal muscle performance is impaired in obesity and aging conditions. One common reason causing this could be higher fat mass and lower muscle mass. However, there is no study …

Effect Of Dietary Folate Restriction On Colon Carcinogenesis In Dna Polymerase β Haploinsufficient Mice
… repair pathway (BER) plays in the development and progression of colon cancer when dietary folate is deficient. Both cellular folate restriction and BER deficiencies have been shown to result in the accumulation of endogenous damage and lesions that could eventually develop into carcinogenesis. …

Antioxidant properties and anti-cancer effects of polyphenols in sweetpotato leaves
… sweetpotato leaves (SPL) are often discarded and are only consumed in a few countries. In the United States, SPL consumption is limited to private gardens, particularly in the Southeastern United States. Not only are SPL a good source of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, but they also …

Effects of Grain Sorghum Muffin on Blood Glucose and Insulin Responses in Prediabetic Men
… for their potential on blood glucose control and diabetes prevention. A human study with prediabetic men was conducted to investigate the effects of sorghum starch on postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels. Grain sorghum and wheat (control) muffins containing 50 g total starch were …

Novel effects of Prefoldin Pathway on Intestinal Homeostasis via Dietary Restriction in Drosophila melanogaster
… Particular focus is on the extension of lifespan and health-span. Lifespan duration is affected by many factors, one of which is the maintenance of the intestines of the organism. Homeostasis of the intestines is controlled by the regulation of intestine cell apoptosis and intestine cell …

Essential Amino Acid (EAA) Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Protein Turnover with Age
… muscle (SM) is vital for both long term health and quality of life. Recent research suggests an increase in catabolic signals with age triggers pathologic conditions, such as sarcopenia. Although results from in vitro studies model how EAA can regulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS), the …

Computational Prediction of the Agregated Structure of Denatured Lysozyme
Mis-folded proteins and their associated aggregates are a contributing factor in some human diseases. In this study we used the protein lysozyme as a model to define aggregation structures under denaturing conditions. Sasahara et al. (2007), Frare et al. (2009, 2006), and Rubin et al. (2008) …

Development of a Pediatric Model of Nafld in Neonatal Iberian Pigs
… characterized by hyperleptinemia, hyperphagia, and extreme adipogenesis. We hypothesized that neonatal Iberian pigs fed a high fat high-fructose (HFF) diet will develop a pattern of liver injury resembling pediatric NAFLD. In addition, we sought to determine if a mixture of probiotics would …

Ionic Mechanism of Lysosomal Function and Cell Metabolism
… ion channels that are permeable to sodium and calcium. Defects in TPCs have been implicated to impair vesicle trafficking, autophagy and cell metabolism control; however, the detailed mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, I show that TPCs are critical for appropriate cargo …
