Chandra, Richa (2009-06-02)Since cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of mortality all over the world, it is becoming increasingly important and relevant to develop new analytical techniques for the analysis of the mechanisms of this ...
-
Bennett, Joseph Alden (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Cf-252 plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS) has been applied to the characterization of compounds which are difficult to analyze by conventional mass spectrometry. These included organic dyes (individual and mixtures) ...
-
Moore, D'Vesharronne J. (2012-07-16)An array of analytical methods including density gradient ultracentrifugation, capillary electrophoresis, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), were utilized to analyze serum high ...

Macfarlane, Ronald D.; Hosken, Brian D. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2003-07-15)Methods of forming a density gradient by applying a centrifugal field to a solution of one or more metal ion chelate complexes are disclosed. The density gradients are self-forming equilibrium gradients and are useful for ...
-
Myers, Christine Lee (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)A method for the oxidation of lipoproteins in vitro was developed using the free radical initiator, 2,2?-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH). Following in vitro oxidation, the susceptibility to oxidation of ...

Krailler, Ramona E. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Laser induced photodissociation of fast (3-8 keV) ion beams has been developed for use in both a coaxial and perpendicular beam arrangement. The laser-ion beam photodissociation technique has been used as a probe for ...
-
Trivedi, Chintan A. (2010-07-14)The design and development of a versatile time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (TRFS) system capable of near real time data acquisition and processing for potential clinical diagnostic applications is reported. The TRFS ...

Development of ²⁵²Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometry for high molecular weight protein analysis Wolf, Barbara Potts (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Studies were undertaken in instrumentation and methodology to advance the capability of [252]Cf-PDMS for high molecular weight protein analysis. Instrumentation was developed to reduce the background in [252]Cf-PDMS spectra ...
-
Espinosa Garcia, Irma Leticia (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) has been described as an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The complexity of the Lp(a) molecule sets a challenge for the determination of the risk it represents for the cardiovascular ...
-
Beckendorf, Joy Annete Ahlgren (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Two hypotheses exist to explain the origin of biomolecular homochirality; (i) that the selection of D-sugars and L-amino acids was determined by chance, a "frozen accident" or (ii) that the asymmetry of biomolecules is ...
-
Cao, Xiaojuan (2009-05-15)Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is currently the most common cause of death in the United States. Some dietary factors contribute importantly to ASCVD and other factors can reduce risk of ASCVD. Oleic acid ...
-
Henriquez, Ronald Rene (2009-05-15)Fluorometric density gradient ultracentrifugation is used to measure the lipoprotein density profile for cardiovascular disease risk assessment. The work presented establishes the effectiveness of using a single-spin ...
-
Larner, Craig (2012-10-19)With the severity of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the related mortality rate to this disease, new methods are necessary for risk assessment and treatment prior to the onset of the disease. The current paradigm in CVD ...
