Krenek, Kimberly Ann (2013-08-12)It was hypothesized that ester-linked gallic acid glycosides could be absorbed and metabolized in vivo due to the instability of an ester-linked glycosides at neutral pH. To evaluate in vivo absorption of Mangifera Indica, ...

Yang, Liyi (2010-07-14)Epidemiological evidence has correlated consumption of sorghum with reduced incidences of gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer, especially esophageal cancer. There is little evidence on how phenols of sorghum may affect ...
-
Cho, Young Mi (2012-10-19)Accumulated genetic and epigenetic abnormalities contribute to the development of colon cancer. We have shown that a combination of fish oil (containing decosahexaenoic acid, DHA, 22:6 n-3) and pectin (fermented to butyrate ...
-
Boswell, Sara Elizabeth (2012-02-14)Increasing diagnosis and awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance has created a need for developing improved quality gluten-free sandwich breads. Sorghum is a naturally gluten-free grain with ideal baking ...
-
Leonardi, Tety (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. However, evidence indicates that a proper diet abundant in fruits and vegetables may be protective against colon cancer development. Bioactive compounds ...
-
Covert, Kristy Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)We have previously shown that dietary fish oil and fiber, particularly the highly-fermentable pectin, are protective against colon cancer in a rat model of carcinogenesis. Therefore, based upon the current body of literature ...
-
Mann, John Clifford (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The ability of ionizing radiation to enhance colon carcinogenesis and the role of diet in this process has not been documented. We hypothesized that radiation would enhance the formation of aberrant crypt foci, ACF, known ...
-
Sanders, Lisa Merle (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the US, yet small intestine cancer is a rare event. While there are many similarities between these two tissues, inherent differences such as redox status, may ...
-
Newton, Anne Henry (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)We have previously shown that dietary fish oil and the fiber pectin protect against colon cancer in rats by increasing apoptosis induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the initiation stage of tumorigenesis. We ...

Lemlioglu-Austin, Dilek; Turner, Nancy D.; McDonough, Cassandra M.; Rooney, Lloyd W. (Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2012)

Swift, Sibyl Nichole (2011-10-21)Moderate energy restriction in young, exercising women attenuates the positive effects of exercise on bone density. Studies have shown that in the absence of adequate levels of circulating estrogen, there may not be ...

Wei, Rubin (2014-04-18)This dissertation consists of two main projects in the area of measurement error models with application in nutritional epidemiology. The first project studies the application of moment reconstruction and moment- adjusted ...
-
De Castro Palomino Siller, Angelina (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Fractions from white and tannin sorghums were processed into extrudates, thick porridges, and breads. The effects of sorghum type and fraction on the in vitro starch availability of the products were evaluated, and the ...

Piefer, Leigh (2012-10-19)Quercetin (Q) and chlorogenic acid (CA), two bioactive compounds found in stonefruits, may protect against inflammation and cancer because of anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Since these compounds ...
-
Paulhill, Kimberly Jones (2009-05-15)Quercetin (Q), a water-soluble flavonoid that is ubiquitous to foods of plant origin is postulated to protect against colon cancer due to its antioxidant activity. In contrast, we have shown that a dietary combination of ...

Feng, Shaoyong (2011-10-21)When astronauts travel in space, they are exposed to high energy cosmic radiations. The cosmic ray spectrum contains very high energy particles, generally up to several GeV per nucleon. Currently NASA is funding research ...

Ritchie, Lauren E.; Taddeo, Stella S.; Weeks, Brad R.; Lima, Florence; Bloomfield, Susan A.; Azcarate-Peril, M. Andrea; Zwart, Sara R.; Smith, Scott M.; Turner, Nancy D.; Weir, Tiffany L. (PloS One, 2015)

Apanasovich, Tatiyana Vladimirovna (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In an experiment to understand colon carcinogenesis, all animals were exposed to a carcinogen while half the animals were also exposed to radiation. Spatially, we measured the existence of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), namely ...
