Application and modeling of frequency-domain lifetime spectroscopy for microsphere-based optical glucose sensors
(2009-05-15)A new glucose affinity sensor based on a homogeneous fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay system was developed to monitor the competitive binding between concanavalin A (ConA) and dextran. The FRET quenching ... -
COPOLYMER HYDROGELS AS FULLY IMPLANTABLE OPTICAL BIOSENSORS: INVESTIGATING DESIGN PARADIGMS TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM PRECLINICAL FUNCTION
(2017-11-09)Many diagnostic tests for disease management and overall health monitoring provide only an instantaneous measurement of the patient’s state of health, leaving intermediate fluctuations in biochemistry levels undisclosed. ... -
Dealing With the Diabetic Diet.
(Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1989) -
Design and Verification of an Optical System to Interrogate Dermally-implanted Microparticle Sensors
(2012-07-16)Diabetes mellitus affects 25.8 million Americans (8.3%) and over 300 million people worldwide. Clinical trials indicate that proper management of blood glucose levels is critical in preventing or delaying complications ... -
Effects of carbohydrate applications on growth and vitality of live oak (Quercus virginiana)
(2009-05-15)Urban forests grow in stressful environments that can have negativerepercussions on tree energy reserves. The goal of this research was to evaluate theimpact of exogenously applied carbohydrates on growth and vitality of ... -
Effects of Higher Carbohydrate or Higher Protein Diets with Exercise on Individual Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome in Women
(2014-03-18)The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether following a higher protein (HP) diet for 10-weeks promotes a reduction of MetS and the individual NCEP ATP III MetS risk factors better than a higher carbohydrate (HC) ... -
Effects of Maternal Nutrition Manipulation on Mares and Their Foals
(2013-03-14)Previous research documented the fetus is sensitive to nutrition of the dam, but this has not been thoroughly investigated in horses. Objectives of the current studies were to determine effect of manipulation of maternal ... -
Enhancement of a fluorescent sensor for monitoring glucose concentration in diabetic patients
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The need for overnight and continuous monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic patients is profound, especially among juveniles. Implantation of a chemical assay which responds optically to changes in glucose concentration ... -
Glucose oxidation in heart-type fatty acid binding protein null mice
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) is a major fatty acid binding factor in skeletal muscles. Genetic lack of H-FABP severely impairs the esterification and oxidation of exogenous fatty acids in soleus muscles ... -
Heart- and liver-type fatty acid binding proteins in lipid and glucose metabolism
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (H-FABP) is required for high rates of skeletal muscle long chain fatty acid (LCFA) oxidation and esterification. Here we assessed whether H-FABP affects soleus muscle glucose uptake ... -
Influence of Maternal Plane of Nutrition and Arginine Supplementation on Mares and Their Foals: Glucose and Insulin Dynamics
(2012-10-19)Thirty-two Quarter horse mares (468 to 668 kg BW; 3 to 19 yr) were utilized in a randomized complete block design. Animals were blocked by expected foaling date and randomly assigned to treatments within block. Treatments ... -
Insulin Sensitivity in Tropically Adapted Cattle With Divergent Residual Feed Intake
(2012-10-19)Residual feed intake (RFI) is one method to identify feed efficient animals; however, this method is costly and time consuming therefore, identifying an indirect measure of RFI is important. Evaluating the glucoregulatory ... -
The Pathway from Sugar to Self-Control
(2015-04-02)The role of glucose in self-control has been under heated debate. Recent studies have suggested that both swishing and ingesting glucose can improve self-control, casting doubt on the idea that reduced self-control results ...
