Quantifying the Relationship of Bilateral Blood Flow in Glabrous Skin at Rest and During Sympathetic Perturbations
… nervous system regulation of blood flow within glabrous skin occurs through control of vasoconstrictor tone, with vasodilation being a passive process. As bursts of sympathetic vasoconstrictor activity occur simultaneously at separate sites of the body, blood flow patterns should also be closely …

Molecular Analyses of the Soybean Glabrous Mutation (P1) and of Transgenic Lines Designed to Modify Seed Composition
The second project aimed to reduce the expression of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) gene by RNAi. The PDHK gene regulates the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) by reversible phosphorylation of the E1alpha subunit of the PDC. The PDC catalyzes the oxidative …

Influence of upper limb ischaemia-reperfusion injury on the regulation of cutaneous blood flow during local thermal hyperaemia
… reliability of the local heating response in non-glabrous and glabrous index finger skin. Study 2 investigated the effects of I-R on the local heating response in non-glabrous and glabrous skin of the index finger. Study 3 investigated within- and between-day reliability of the local heating …

Temporal Dynamics of Heat Pain Sensations
… of sharp pain quality evoked in hairy and glabrous skin, and 4) determine the role of absolute stimulus temperatures on sex differences in pain adaptation and habituation. A broad-based heat pain model was developed for this study that incorporates a temporally-continuous assessment of …

SCI-Induced Chronic Pain is Driven by a Central to Peripheral IL-1 Mediated Signaling Pathway
… measured levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-1R1 in glabrous and hairy skin for 7 days following SCI. The RNAseq data shows that the expression of IL-1 family of cytokines, particularly IL-1β, was highly enriched at 1 day post injury in the SC and DRG at the level of injury but not below. Expression …

Mechanical and psychophysical studies of surface wave propagation during vibrotactile stimulation
… the frequency and amplitude of vibration on the glabrous skin on the palm as compared to the hairy skin on the arm and thigh. The palm had the highest frequency and lowest amplitude surface waves, and the forearm and thigh were very similar with lower frequency higher amplitude surface waves. No …

Perceptual and comparative analyses of a passive, linear, multiple degree-of-freedom skin stretch device for proprioceptive substitution
… contact pads that are adhered to the skin on the glabrous forearm and that are each attached by a wire to the metacarpophalangeal joint of one prosthetic finger. When a finger rotates about its metacarpophalangeal joint, the attached wire pulls the corresponding contact pad, which stretches the …

The Long-Term Teratogenic Effect of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on the Somatosensory and Motor Cortex of Rats
… FBS morphology and the area of the peripheral glabrous forepaw (Chapter 3). The FBS morphology and peripheral glabrous forepaw areas were significantly reduced in juvenile rats following PAE.</p> <p><strong>Experiment 4:</strong> This experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that PAE …

Risk assessment of the transfer of imazethapyr herbicide resistance from Clearfield rice to red rice
… in F2 populations for segregation of pubescent/glabrous leaves. F1 hybrids between Clearfield rice and red rice in general did not show increased fitness in flowering characteristics over Clearfield rice, as most hybrids did not flower or produce seeds in the field. However, increased fitness in …

Genetic Determinism of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) Resistance, Fruit Quality, and Phenological Traits in Peach and Incorporation of Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) in the University of Arkansas Peach and Nectarine Breeding Program
… SLP-based DNA tests, the indelG (pubescent vs. glabrous) and PpCCD4b-SSR (white vs. yellow flesh) were advanced to test in marker-assisted seedling selection (MASS).</p> <p>In the final step, QTL analysis was conducted for Xap fruit, Xap leaf, and Xap leaf-assay resistance along with seven fruit …

Phenology, canopy development, biomass and grain yield of annual canarygrass (Phalaris canariensis L.)
… associated with grain yield instability. Two glabrous- and one pubescent-hulled canaryseed cultivars were compared with a cultivar each of a spring wheat with minimum vernalization requirement and an oat cultivar sown at different dates (SDs). Young seedlings were then exposed to vernalizing …

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology
… females than in males, and in hairy compared to glabrous skin. The PIN biopsy procedure fulfils the criteria of a nerve biopsy and was well tolerated by the patients. It demonstrated reduced myelinated nerve fibre and endoneurial capillary densities in the forearm of both diabetic and …

Mechanisms of thermal sensitivity in rodent primary afferent neurons innervating the skin
… against TRPV2 wild-type mice in both hairy and glabrous skin. Mice lacking TRPV2 had normal heat sensitive nociceptors and afferents retained mechanical sensitivity. The involvement of potassium (K+) channels in mediating and/or modulating thermosensation has been suggested. Based on these …

Vibration intensity difference thresholds
… for the perception of vibration in the glabrous skin have been modelled by ‘channels’ within the somatosensory system that predict the effects of vibration frequency, vibration magnitude, vibration duration and contact conditions. Difference thresholds are less well understood and there …
