Three-Dimensional Analysis of the Development of Upper Arm Musculoskeletal Stress Markers in Late Adolescents and Young Adults of Archaic and Mississippian Populations of Tennessee
<p>This study compares three methods for the evaluation of morphology of musculoskeletal attachment sites. Two methods were macroscopic and the third was microscopic, utilizing three-dimensional laser scanning and fractal analysis The morphology of 19 upper limb attachment sites was observed in 33 …

Growing Up in Tell el-Amarna: An Examination of Growth and Non-specific Stress Indicators in New Kingdom Children.
… rates of skeletal indicators of physiological stress within a biocultural framework. The long bone standardization method outlined by Goode et al. (1993) was used to compare the South Tombs cemetery’s cross-sectional growth data to subadult samples from other cemeteries during which major …

The Effects of Poverty and Allostatic Load on the Development of Chronic Disease
… increased exposure to violence, and chronic stress that contribute to the development of chronic diseases. The poverty and chronic disease relationship is potentially associated with chronically elevated stress biomarkers. The present study investigated the relationship between demographics, …

Stress and Recurrent Miscarriage
This thesis investigated the role of stress in RM using both psychometric and biochemical measures. The majority of previous studies on the impact of stress on RM only addressed the psychological aspect without concurrent biochemical stress measurements. In this thesis the stress status in women …

Molecular analysis of the role of mitochondria in aging and lengevity
… that their longevity correlates with oxidative stress resistance. It has not yet been determined whether the mutant mice have inherently lower levels of ROS and whether there are changes in the electron transport chain function compared to wild-type. Therefore, we hypothesize that the dwarf mice …

Role of oxidative stress in photoreceptor degeneration
… represent the major cellular source of oxidative stress. ROS are capable of attacking molecules such as DNA, proteins and lipids, and of compromising either the structural and functional integrity or the survival of cells. Mitochondria also play a key role in apoptosis, the major mechanism of cell …
