Effects of mercury and probiotics on the microbiome and behavior of the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster)
Ahles, Kathleen (2018-07)The digestive tract is home to trillions of microorganisms. In addition to helping with digestion, these microbes can have profound effects on host mood and behavior through a pathway known as the microbiome-gut-brain axis. ... -
Estradiol influences central control of behavioral responses underlying body fluid regulation
Core, Sheri L. (2018-07)Extracellular fluid depletion and body sodium loss produces physiological and behavioral responses to restore body fluid homeostasis, and these responses are influenced by sex hormones. Sodium depletion produced by the ... -
Estrogen receptor-mediated modulation of inflammatory markers in hepatitis c virus pathogenesis
Groover, Sarah (2020-07)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global health concern whose pathogenesis depends largely on chronic inflammation; chronic infection with HCV is strongly linked to fibrosis/cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma ... -
Mitigation of TNBS-Induced Colitis with the Glutaminase Inhibitor, 6-Diazo-5-Oxo-L-Norleucine
John, Rebekah (2018-05-01)Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain and, on occasion, organ pathology. It is initiated by a traumatic insult inducing acute colitis, i.e., colon inflammation, ... -
RNA-seq of biological fluids for the evaluation of mRNA degradation in relation to sample age
Weinbrecht, Katelyn Deane (2014-07)Research on the forensic applications of RNA analysis has increased greatly in the last decade. Defined uses of RNA in forensic analysis include the use of RNA to identify tissue type, determine sample age, and play a role ... -
Role of the intestinal microbiota in modulating behavior in the adolescent prairie vole
Supeck, David John (2018-12)Introduction: The intestinal epithelium develops during gestation and goes through many changes shortly after birth. During this time period the intestinal epithelium matures into a selective barrier to protect the host ... -
Understanding the mechanism of nerve growth factor signaling during peripheral inflammation
Gujar, Vikramsingh (2020-07)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study is to understand the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling in the development and maintenance of peripheral inflammation. Dermal-epidermal separation technique, ... -
Whole Genome Sequencing and Comparison of Potentially Probiotic Lactobacillus Strains
Abraham, Aaron (2018-05-01)Lactobacillus is a well-known and ubiquitous genus of bacteria, many species of which are probiotic in nature. While many lactobacilli have been characterized as being probiotic, the cellular mechanisms and genes exerting ...
