Effect of prepartum protein restriction on brown adipose tissue thermogenic activity in newborn calves
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis was evaluated in Wagyu-sired calves from Angus heifers fed isocaloric diets with adequate (PA, 10%) or restricted (PR, 5.8%) dietary protein levels during the last 150 d of gestation. ...
The metabolism of butyrate, glucose and glutamine in colonic epithelial cell lines
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
In order to delay the onset and advancement of cancer, this research focused on inspecting the utilization, interaction, and fate of metabolic substrates normally obtained either from colonic bacteria, i.e. short chain ...

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United States, especially for postmenopausal women. It is a condition in which many risk factors and dietary factors have been implicated, such as alcohol and estrogen deficiency. ...
Effects of humate on in vitro digestibility, and performance, carcass characteristics, and mineral status of wether lambs
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of humate on in vitro digestibility, and performance, carcass characteristics, and mineral status of growing wether lambs. Experiment 1 consisted of three trials to ...
Human platelet aggregation and phospholipid fatty acid composition during omega-3 fatty acid enriched egg consumption: influence of nutrient intake and omega-3 fatty acid source
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The current study investigated the usefulness of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) enriched eggs for duplicating health benefits of consuming fish, specifically decreasing platelet aggregation via changes in ...
Effects of level and source of copper on copper status of ewes and newborn lambs
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Experiment one was conducted to determine the Cu status of mature ewes fed two sources Of CU (CUS04 VS CU proteinate) at one of three levels (10, 20 and 30 mg/kg). Ewes were fed a basal diet containing cottonseed hulls, ...

Data from a pilot study on the dietary intake, health behaviors, and the presence of coronary heart disease risk factors among 14-and 15-year old Texas adolescents was used in the analyses of this thesis. Adolescent ...
The impact of binge drinking on the young growing female rat skeleton
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Previous research indicated that chronic alcohol consumption has a detrimental impact on the skeleton in both humans and alcohol-fed rats. The decreased bone mass seen in alcoholics increases their risk for fractures over ...
The effect of alcohol on the bone growth spurt of rats at a time equivalent to adolescent females
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of long-term alcohol consumption on the growth spurt in adolescent rats. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed one of three diets (alcohol, pair-fed or chow) for 3 months. ...
