Barnes, Ryan Crispen (2016-11-10)The composition, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of gallic acid, monogalloyl glucose, and gallotannins in mango (Mangifera indica L.) pulp were investigated. Each galloyl derivative was hypothesized to have a different ...
-
Schreckinger Minoli, Maria Elisa (2016-07-27)Cellular targets for the majority of dietary phytochemicals remain unknown, presenting a challenge for the understanding of how these dietary components provide health benefits. Recently a new methodology, drug affinity ...

Apigenin and Naringenin Increase Apoptosis and Decrease Proliferation via Transcriptional Regulation Daniels, Wesley Danielle (2014-11-26)Previous studies have shown that apigenin and naringenin (flavonoids) suppress colon carcinogenesis by inducing apoptosis and suppressing proliferation in rats. The goal of this thesis was to test the hypothesis that ...

Gonzalez, Yesenia Amanda (2016-10-06)A proton recoil detector was acquired from LND, Inc. to be used in neutron counting experiments with an 241AmBe source. Neutrons elastically scatter off of and ionize hydrogen atoms creating protons that can be detected. ...

Impact of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Bone Adaptations to Simulated Resistance Training Camp, Kaleigh Ann (2013-04-30)Young and ovariectomized animals eating diets rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exhibit enhanced bone formation and decrease bone loss, respectively. Eicosapentaenoic acid, an n-3 PUFA found in fish ...

Cox, Bradley (2012-10-19)The energy deposition characteristics of heavy ions vary substantially compared to those of photons. Many radiation biology studies have compared the damaging effects of different types of radiation to establish relative ...
-
Wei, Jiawei (2011-10-21)This dissertation consists of five independent projects. In each project, a novel statistical method was developed to address a practical problem encountered in genomic contexts. For example, we considered testing for ...

Skeletal Impacts of Continuous Low-Dose-Rate Gamma Radiation Exposure During Simulated Microgravity Bokhari, Rihana (2018-07-03)One of the greatest unknowns in human spaceflight is the effects of low-dose-rate galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The majority of radiation studies deliver the total radiation dose expected on a 2-3 year mission in minutes. ...
