Adiponectin Expression and Oxidative Stress in Hearts of Mice Fed a High-fat Diet 

Gorman, Teresa (2013-07-09)
Evidence suggests that excess superoxide generation leading to oxidative stress and/or the reduced capacity of organisms to regulate oxidative/redox environments play a major role in the initiation and progression of obesity ...

Cloning and characterization of novel ccdc103 interactors 

Daniel, Jeffrey (2020-07-16)  ETD File Embargoed
Coiled-coil domain containing protein 103 is a homodimeric protein that functions as a dynein attachment factor in motile cilia. Ccdc103 defects in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos lead to paralyzed motile cilia, pronephric ...

Effects of Environmentally Relevant PFOS Concentrations on Unionid Bioaccumulation, Benthic-pelagic Coupling, and Gene Expression 

Strozier, Amanda (2021-08-03)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic chemicals that have high energy carbon and fluorine bonds that make them resistant to metabolic breakdown and degradation. These substances are emerging ...

Heat stress and ischemia/reperfusion cause oxidative stress via NADPH oxidase in hypothalamic neurons 

Rogers, Colin (2009-04-29)
Ischemia/reperfusion-related injuries are associated with a wide range of diverse disorders including but not limited to aging, heat stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Ischemia/reperfusion is known to cause oxidative ...

Heat Stress Induces Downregulation of Hippocampal Superoxide Dismutase-1; a Possible Mechanism for Heat-Related Neuronal Cell Death 

El-Orabi, Naglaa (2006-12-15)
Exertional heat injury represents a major risk for people working or exercising in hot environments. Currently, no pharmacological therapies are available and little is known about the molecular response to heat stress in ...
