(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The leaner mouse carries an autosomal recessive mutation in the α1A subunit of neuronal P/Q-type voltage gated calcium ion channels. Due to this mutation, the leaner mouse exhibits severe ataxia, absence seizures and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The measurement of pain has had a growing importance in animals for both privately owned animals and those animals involved in clinical research. Lameness is considered to be 1 aspect of the pain experience. The ability ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Chronic exposure to manganese (Mn) causes the neurodegenerative movement disorder, manganism. A mouse model was developed to elucidate mechanisms involved in the etiology and progression of injury. Twelve-week old female ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Paraquat (PQ) is a cationic non-selective bipyridyl herbicide widely used in agriculture to control weeds and grasses. Epidemiologic studies indicate that exposure to pesticides can be a risk factor in the incidence of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Mutations of the á1A subunit of P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels are responsible for several inherited disorders affecting humans, including familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type 2 and spinocerebellar ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Substantial environmental contamination has occurred from coal tar creosote and pentachlorophenol (C5P) in wood preserving solutions. The present studies focused on the characterization and remediation of these contaminants. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Together with the advancements in animal cloning, the ability to efficiently target specific genes in somatic cells would greatly enhance several areas of research. While it has been possible for quite some time to target ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The advent of somatic cell nuclear transfer in cattle has provided the opportunity for researchers to generate genetically identical animals as well as animals that possess precise genetic modifications for agriculture and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system. Over 80% of MS patients are in the relapsing remitting stage. Symptoms range from fever, fatigue, emotional distress, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Stressful life events have been associated with the onset and/or exacerbation of multiple sclerosis (MS). To investigate the effects of stress on the pathogenesis of MS, we employed restraint stress (RST) in the TheilerâÂÂs ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The validity of Johne??s disease herd status programs and on-farm disease control programs that rely on established ??cutpoints?? (e.g., S/P ratios) for ELISA serological tests such as the HerdChek?? (IDEXX Laboratories ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Steroid hormones, such as estrogen, are produced in one tissue and carried through the blood stream to target tissues in which they bind to highly specific nuclear receptors and trigger changes in gene expression and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Stallion fertility is of significant economic importance in the multibillion dollar equine industry. Presently, the underlying genetic causes of infertility in stallions are unknown. Analysis of the human genome has shown ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In order to identify genes or markers responsible for economically important traits in the horse, the development of high resolution gene maps of individual equine chromosomes is essential. We herein report the construction ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)In this research, important stress and redox regulatory genes present in Hydra vulgaris were isolated and characterized to facilitate our understanding of the evolution and mechanisms of stress response. H. vulgaris heat ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a genomic region containing genes of immunomodulatory importance. MHC class I genes encode cell-surface glycoproteins that present peptides to circulating T cells, playing a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes and genotypic characteristics (Class 1 integron and AMR gene cassettes) in commensal Escherichia coli (EC) and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (EF) ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Elderly people are at high risk for conditions associated with inactivity, and lack of motivation is an important factor contributing to this inactivity. It is believed that a dog can provide the necessary motivation to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a genomic region comprised of a linked cluster of genes and gene families that play an important role in both the adaptive and innate immune responses. Genes within the MHC ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)It is well documented that aflatoxin contamination in foods presents significant economic and public health burdens worldwide. Aflatoxins, particularly aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), have been implicated in the etiology of disease and ...
