Reversal of Inflammation-Induced Bone Loss and Vascular Pathology by Dried Plum's Polyphenols
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)
Recent studies have indicated that a relationship exists between the pathophysiology of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Chronic elevation of inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? and members ...
Studies of surface plasmons and localized surface plasmons at terahertz frequencies
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The goal of this study is to investigate the physical mechanism of field enhancement in plasmonic subwavelength structures in the terahertz regime. Such plasmonic structures were fabricated by ...
Incorporating seepage processes into bank stability analyses
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The overall objectives of this research were to better understand the mechanisms of bank erosion and failure by ground water seepage and to incorporate seepage processes (i.e., seepage erosion ...
Bovine respiratory disease: Effects on performance, immune response, cytokines and gene expression
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective was to determine the effects of timing of an intratracheal Mannheimia haemolytica challenge relative to 72-hour exposure to bovine viral diarrhea type 1b (BVDV1b) persistently ...
Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Paleolake Mababe, northwestern Botswana from sediment chemistry and biological productivity data
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)
Sediment samples were collected from trenches excavated in the Mababe Depression, northwestern Botswana. At present the Mababe Depression is dry Acacia parkland, but has sustained relatively large paleolakes. Sediment ...
Effects of chronic green tea flavonoid supplementation on features of metabolic syndrome, biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation and plasma catechin levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-07-01)
Green tea, rich in anti-oxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is inversely associated with cardio vascular disease (CVD). Metabolic syndrome (MeS) is linked with increased oxidative stress & inflammation ...
