Effect of estrogen on temporally targeted food restriction: Role of gastric, hormonal and metabolic factors.
Naukam, Rebecca Jane (2015-05)These studies used targeted temporal food restriction (TTFR; access to chow limited to two hours/day) in rats to model the eating pattern of some obese people who restrict their consumption of food to the evening, when ... -
Glutamate receptor subunits in the rat cornea
Carr, Branden Kenneth (2017-05)The purpose of this study was to identify if topical application of an ionotropic Glutamate receptor (iGluR) antagonist could effectively reduce pain in the cornea and to identify the presence and location of the 16 different ... -
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, ... -
Neuromelanin and alpha-synuclein modulation of inflammatory signaling in human astroglial cells
Saffarian Tousi, Neda (2011-07)Scope and Method of Study: The scope of this dissertation was to study the effects of two Parkinson's disease associated molecules, neuromelanin and a-synuclein, on inflammatory signaling and expression in A172 astroglial ... -
New age: Quantitative morphometry for the 21st century - Advances in the study of dorsal root ganglion neurons
Anderson, Michael Brian (2021-12)Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons transduce sensory information in peripheral tissues, transmitting centrally as action potential frequency, along second and third order neurons for processing in the somatosensory cortex. ... -
Phenotypic Study of Intraflagellar Transport and FLA10 in the lf4 Mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtII
Pargeter, Kevin M. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a biflagellate, unicellular green alga that serves as an ideal basic science organism (Harris, 2008a). Compared to eukaryotic primary cilia, it shares many homologous flagellar genes with humans, ... -
Role of dorsal root ganglion glutaminase in acute and chronic inflammatory pain
Zhang, Zijia (2013-12)Scope and methods of the study. -
Role of dorsal root ganglion glutaminase in nociception - A novel therapeutic target for inflammatory pain
Hoffman, Ernest Matthew (2009-05)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of the enzyme glutaminase in rat dorsal root ganglion and determine its potential as a target for analgesic development. The study used ... -
Role of glutamate in corneal nociception
Ibitokun, Bernadette Olayinka (2012-07)Scope and Method of Study: At sensory peripheral nerve terminals, glutamate is released into tissues, e.g., skin, where it sensitizes surrounding afferent nerves and resident cells. Sensitization of peripheral sensory ... -
Signaling pathways involved in IL-1beta-induced regulation of MOR expression in human neurons
Mohan, Shekher (2008-12)Scope and Method of Study: -
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, ...
