The effect of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on T cell subset activation-induced cell death (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been shown to potently attenuate T cell-mediated inflammation, in part, by suppressing T cell activation and proliferation. Apoptosis is an important mechanism for ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Severe bloody diarrhea and subsequent serious post-diarrheal illnesses, including the hemolytic uremic syndrome and central nervous system complications, may develop following infections with Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing ...
-
(2012-10-19)Hormone replacement therapy and estrogen replacement therapy have shown the ability to reduce risk of colon cancer development in clinical and animal studies, but in vitro research has been unable to reproduce an estradiol ...

Large scale total synthesis of apoptolidinone and progress towards the total synthesis of ammocidin (2009-05-15)Apoptolidin 1.1 was isolated in 1997 by Hayakawa and co-workers from a soil bacterium Nocardiopsis sp. during screening for specific apoptosis inducers. The primary biological test revealed that this polyketide macrolide ...
-
(2011-08-08)Mechanical loading is an integral component to maintaining bone mass during periods of disuse (i.e. bedrest or casting) or reduced weightbearing activity. Recent data has shown a direct relation between the sympathetic ...
-
(2020-03-13)‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso), is an emerging and serious bacterial pathogen of solanaceous crops, and it can cause very damaging plant diseases (e.g., zebra chip in potatoes). Presently, two haplotypes of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Thelohania solenopsae are intracellular pathogens found in the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. These pathogens cause detrimental effects to their fire ant hosts. The present study revealed that the midgut and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This dissertation examines the effects of postharvest treatment and processing on biologically active compounds of orange juice, and ??Rio Red?? grapefruit and their ability to prevent chemically induced colon cancer in ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Epidemiological data indicate that the consumption of dietary fiber and fish/marine products favorably modulate colon tumorigenesis. Docosahexaenoic ...
