Energy substrates, metabolic regulators, and lipid accumulation during culture of in vitro-produced bovine embryos
… bovine embryonic development, using alternative energy sources and metabolic regulators. Replacing glucose with fructose in culture medium consistently increased blastocyst production per oocyte and decreased lipid content in bovine embryos. The use of phenazine ethosulphate (PES) or fetal calf …

Flash heating of epoxy-based corrosion inhibitor thin films on aluminum substrates
… diameter spot size on two types of aluminum substrates; AA2024-T4 and AA7075-T3. Edge effects were not considered for modeling. A ceramic firebrick insulated the aluminum coated disks to ensure that edge effects are negligible. The Forward Time Center Space (FTCS) model was developed to …

IMPACT OF NUTRIENT IMBALANCE ON THE EPIGENETIC SIGNATURE AND GENE EXPRESSION OF BOVINE EARLY EMBRYOS
… study focuses on how variations in energetic substrates during preimplantation development affect gene expression, differential transcript usage (DTU), and early developmental outcomes in bovine embryos. Using in vitro production techniques, bovine blastocysts were produced in standard and …

Electrochemical nanomoulding through proteins
… potential artifacts to the high surface energy substrates necessary for high nucleation densities. Characterization involved imaging, electron diffraction, spectroscopy, and three-dimensional reconstruction. The S-layer protein of D. radiodurans was further subjected to an atomic force …

Intercollegiate female distance runners' nutrition knowledge and dietary practices
… their understanding of the basic food groups, energy substrates. fluid-electrolyte replacement, vitamin and mineral supplements and the pregame meal. The responses indicated that female distance runners had a limited understanding of nutrient energy sources. The runners' score on questions …

PHYTOCHEMICAL AND SYNTHETIC INVESTIGATIONAL COMPOUNDS AS MODULATORS OF CYTOMETABOLIC AND CYTOSKELETAL DYNAMICS FOR PRE-CLINICAL TARGETING OF PROSTATE CANCER
… Consequently, cancer cells can utilize different energy substrates such as glucose, pyruvate, and glutamine based on their need and availability. Given this, my Ph.D. dissertation research assessed the comparative cytotoxicity under different energy substrate conditions, cellular targets, and …

Multi-scale morphology development in solution coated conjugated polymers
… LC orientation at the top interface to surface energy minimization of alkyl side chains, and the face-on LC orientation in the bulk liquid and bottom interface to symmetry braking effect near the substrate. The out-of-plane molecular orientation is preserved in the LC mesophase and is carried to …

The effect of tris aloe vera (barbadensis miller) gel on chilled and frozen-thawed bull spermatozoa quality
… membrane fluidity and permeability plus provide energy substrates for sperm metabolism. Egg yolk is one of the most common additives of animal origin that are used for semen preservation, however, it has become a suspect for facilitating the transmission of diseases. Tris-aloe vera gel have …

An Evaluation of Adult Freshwater Mussels Held in Captivity at the White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery, West Virginia
… captivity at WSSNFH by evaluating survival, energy reserves, and gametogenesis of captive mussels in a recirculating pond system. I relocated three mussel species in the summer of 2001 and 10 mussel species in the summer of 2002 to a recirculating pond system (reservoir and raceway) at the …

The effects of the modification of energy metabolism on cellular response to ionizing radiation
It is generally accepted that energy is required for repair of radiation-induced damage in living cells. Some of this energy is probably provided by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is derived from energy substrates via energy metabolism. This dissertation follows two general avenues. The first …

Protein kinases in hormonal regulation of adipocyte metabolism.
… to storing lipids that can provide whole-body energy. After a meal is ingested, adipocytes take up glucose from the circulation and use it as a substrate for synthesis of new fatty acids (FAs) in a process known as de novo fatty acid synthesis, as well as for synthesis of glycerol. Adipocytes …
