AAV Mediated Alpha CaM-Kinase II Suppression and Up Regulation: Behavioral Studies and Western Blot Analysis
Robinson, Deven (2006-04-01)The goal of the present study was to both inhibit the a-CaM-Kinase II (cc-CaM-K II) enzyme, and to over-express it in neurons in order to observe if the enzyme has a role to play in memory as measured by behavioral and ... -
Alleviation of the negative effects of restraint stress on cognitive learning and memory retention in female rats by estrogen and tamoxifen
Caldwell, Tamara (2006-04-01)Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) either mimic or block the effects of estrogen (Goldstein, 1998). Tamoxifen, a SERM, blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue (Walling, 2005), but its effects in other ... -
Alleviation of the Negative Effects of Restraint Stress on Cognitive Learning and Retention in Rats by Estrogen and Estrogen + Progesterone
Hager, Jonathan (2003-04-01)Although the positive effects of female hormones on central nervous system function have been well documented, the actions of estrogen and progesterone on the known negative effect of stress on learning and retention have ... -
Classification And Initial Characterization Of Symbiotic Chlorella Sp. Isolated From The Freshwater Sponge, Ephydatia Muelleri
Erickson, Michael (1994-04-01)A population of archeocytes was isolated from the freshwater sponge, Ephydatia muelleri, using a Ficoll gradient. From these archeocytes an endozoic Chlorella sp. was removed and cultured. The cultured Chlorella sp. were ... -
Effects of 17-P-Estradiol and Tamoxifen on the Stretch and Failure Load of the Medial Collateral Ligament of Prepubescent Female Rats
Kuehn, Tyner (2005-04-01)The purpose of this project was to test whether the effect of 17-fl-estradiol on the medial collateral ligament (MCL) would duplicate previous studies in which it increased laxity and if these effects would be mimicked by ... -
Effects of Estradiol and Tamoxifen on Leukocyte Distribution in Response to Restraint Stress in Mice (Mus musculus)
Duchesneau, Julianna (2004-04-01)Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), drugs that either mimic or block the action of estrogen but do not have its side effects, have been under intense research since the early 20th century because of their ... -
Effects of Estrous Stage on Leukocyte Distribution in Response to Restraint Stress in Mice (Mus musculus)
Simons, Marilee (2004-04-01)Research has shown that there are interactions between the stress response and the immune system through the glucocorticoids. It has also been documented that estrogen and progesterone may have immunomodulatory effects and ... -
Effects of Gadolinium on Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaR)-mediated Calcium Current in Rat Superior Cervical Ganglia
Brennan, Maire (2003-04-01)Gadolinium, a Calcium-sensing Receptor (CaR) agonist, was applied in different concentrations to rat Superior Cervical Ganglia (SCG) to discover the dissociation constant and the maximum amount of CaR-mediated current that ... -
Elements of an Effective Physical Therapist-Patient Relationship
Helvik, Kevin (1999-04-01)In the field of physical therapy, many aspects are important in developing and executing a successful plan for improving the health of a patient. The relationship between the physical therapist and patient is among the ... -
Neurological Effects of Chlorpyrifos on Prenatally-Exposed Rats
Denning, Kyle (2008-04-01)Though extensively documented, autism is still poorly understood. Possible factors include prenatal or neonatal chemical exposure that causes declined synaptic transmission. One chemical, the pesticide known as chlorpyrifos, ... -
Sexually Dimorphic Effects of Prenatally Applied Fluoxetine (Prozac) on Behavior and Cognition in Rats
Pletnikoff, Elise (2006-04-01)The safety of prenatally applying fluoxetine (Prozac), one of the antidepressant drugs currently most commonly prescribed to pregnant women, has been inadequately studied. The goal of this study was to determine gender ... -
Short-term Recovery from Total Knee Replacement as a Function of Locus of Control Submitted
Ferraro, Rachel (2003-04-01)This study explored the psychological factor of locus of control and how it may relate to short-term recovery from total knee replacement. A group of ten patients (aged 49-74 years) undergoing total knee replacement received ... -
The Effect of Advanced Glycation End Product Inhibition on the Development of Diabetic Encephalopathy in Rats
Gay, Nathanael (2007-04-01)Advanced glycation end product (AGE) endogenous proliferation has been identified as a result of long term hyperglycemia associated with diabetes metillus. These products have been linked to various problems of aging and ... -
The Effect of Locus of Control on Choice of Academic Major
Kirschten, Jessica (2010-04-01)The purpose of this research was to study the relationship between the personality dimension locus of control and choice of academic major. One-hundred-and-seventeen college students voluntarily responded to a locus of ... -
