(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An in vitro method is described which was designed to study the activation by copper of lysyl oxidase in aortas from 10 day copper deficient chicks. The optimum conditions for the activation by copper of lysyl oxidase were ...
-
(2019-11-12)Studies from Africa report supplementation with Dichrostachys glomerata (DG; 200–400 mg/d) has led to significant reductions in weight and fat in obese individuals, without exercise or diet intervention. The purpose of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Laboratory investigations were carried out with the marine mysid, Praunus flexuosus, to assess the degree of coupling between glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3; GDH) activity and the rate of whole animal ammonium excretion. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A well-defined subregion of the mammillary knob of the avian eggshell, designated the calcium reserve assembly (CRA), is identified as a specialized structure housing the calcium reserve for the embryo. Embedded in the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The major objective of this study was to characterize the regions of poly(A) signals, which in addition to the AAUAAA are sufficient for accurate and efficient polyadenylation. In addition, this study was designed to test ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Thirteen standard metabolism trials were conducted from May 1986 to June 1987 with white-tail deer (Odocoileus virginianus) utilizing a pelleted diet or one of 3 browse species (guajillo, Acacia berlandieri; blackbrush ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The solubility, oxidation, reduction, adsorption, and reactivity of iron are known to influence its bioavailability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the above factors in digestive mixtures using spectrophotometry ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Radiocarbon from resmethrin labeled in either the acid or alcohol moiety and administered orally to lactating Jersey cows at 10 mg/kg is rapidly absorbed, metabolized, and excreted. The cis isomer was primarily eliminated ...
-
(2020-07-31)My dissertation research is a multidisciplinary approach to characterize the ecology of the bearded fireworm, Hermodice carunculata (Phylum Annelida: Family Amphinomidae). This species is often considered a nuisance as it ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The research described in this dissertation concerns the investigation of selected 6-mercaptopurine metallo complexes. Syntheses are developed, the compounds are screened for anti-carcinogenic activity in two in vivo ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Hymenoxon is a toxic sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the range plant bitterweed (Hymenoxys odorata). Sheep, goats and cattle poisoned by ingestion of bitterweed have central nervous system (CNS) depression which, in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The metabolism of aflatoxin B₁ to aflatoxins M₁ and Q₁ by rat liver microsomes from animals pretreated with polychlorinated or polybrominated biphenyl congeners depended on the structure of the halogenated biphenyl inducers. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Trial I. Twelve mature Thoroughbred horses were used to evaluate the efficacy of a fat-supplemented diet to maintain muscle glycogen stores and reduce thermal stress in exercising horses. In this study, exercising Thoroughbred ...
-
(2020-01-16)Tannins are polymers of polyphenols that are abundant in the diet. Due to their large size, tannins are not bioavailable unless extensively metabolized by the intestinal microbiome into phenolic acid metabolites. Despite ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Lipid is a vital macronutrient that provides energy and fatty acids which mediate important biochemical processes. Lack of information on the specific essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements of red drum, as well as their ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Lysine and threonine turnover was measured in two growing Angus steers by infusion of L-4,5-('3)H-lysine and L-G-('3)H-threonine for 12 hours. Deuterium oxide (75 ml) was injected at the beginning of the infusion period ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Initially, assay conditions were established for the fatty acid elongation and desaturation pathways of bovine liver and adipose tissue microsomes; rat liver microsomes were used as a reference. Rat liver elongation activity ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The Great Lakes are surrounded by heavily industrialized regions. High frequency of hepatocellular neoplasm in fish has been found. This study was undertaken to assess the environmental contamination by analyzing polycyclic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The objectives of the present study were 1) to determine the heritability (h^2) of bovine postrigor calpastatin activity and the phenotypic (r[p]) and genetic (r[g]) correlation coefficients between bovine postrigor ...
-
(2020-06-18)Nanomechanical responses of brittle materials, such as glass and ceramics, are important for various industrial applications. Understanding their deformation and failure mechanisms would offer new knowledge and help design ...
