Elliff, Connie Jo Swenson (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Normal weight (NW) and overweight (OW) pregnant women were compared longitudinally regarding weight gain, pregnancy outcome variables, body composition, energy intake, and activity patterns. Subjects were measured during ...

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 ...
-
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 ...
-
Seo, Jeongmin (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Correct localization of lipidated cytosolic proteins to the plasma membrane (PM) is mediated by interactions between lipid anchors of proteins and cell membranes. Previously, dietary fish oil and its major n-3 polyunsaturated ...
-
Glagolenko, Anna Anatolievna (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)This study examines the carcinogenic effect of HZE radiation and protective effects of different types of diets against colon carcinogenesis in a rat model. The effect of HZE radiation on health state and colon cancer ...
-
The effect of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on T cell subset activation-induced cell death Switzer, Kirsten Collette (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 ...
-
King, Nancy (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)It has been hypothesized that boron (B) is an essential element for animals, especially in bone metabolism. Two studies were conducted to evaluate this. The first experiment assessed boron's physiological dose effect. At ...
-
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 ...
-
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 ...
-
Weige, Charles (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 ...
-
Warren, Cynthia Ann (2011-08-08)Current national dietary policy recommends that half, or three, of the six daily servings of grain foods be consumed as whole grains. However, most American children prefer to consume enriched, refined over whole grains. ...
-
Dunsford, Bart Roberts (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A study, using the prematurely weaned rat as an animal model for the pig, was undertaken to determine the effect of dietary cholesterol and carbohydrate source on small intestinal structure and function. Duodenal and jejunal ...
-
Maslowski, Amy Jesse (2009-05-15)A major limiting factor for long-term, deep-space missions is the radiation dose to astronauts. Because the dose to the astronauts is a mixed field of low- and high-LET radiation, there is a need to understand the effects ...
-
Chapkin, Robert S.; Davidson, Laurie A.; Lupton, Joanne R. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2001-07-10)A noninvasive method utilizing feces, containing sloughed colonocytes, as a sensitive technique for detecting diagnostic colonic biomarkers as well as a method for isolating poly A +RNA from feces. The method allows the ...

Li, Yehua; Wang, Naisyin; Hong, Meeyoung; Turner, Nancy D.; Lupton, Joanne R.; Carroll, Raymond J. (Annals of Statistics, 2007)
-
Rooney, Tammy Kay (1990)The effects of sorghum and millet bran on blood and liver cholesterol levels and colonic physiology were examined using 110 male Sprague-Dawley rats. A white sorghum (low tannin), a brown sorghum (high tannin) and a pearl ...
-
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 ...
