Interaction With Choline And Pantothenic Acid With Carnitine In Humans And Rodents, James William Daily Iii
Interaction With Choline And Pantothenic Acid With Carnitine In Humans And Rodents, James William Daily Iii
Masters Theses
It had been shown previous to this research that supplementation with choline and pantothenic acid results in reduced plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of carnitine in adult humans. This research demonstrated similar effects in younger human subjects and developed an animal model for future study of the interaction of choline and pantothenic acid with carnitine.
Rats were first used as an animal model but neither choline, pantothenic acid, nor both combined had any effect on urinary or plasma carnitine concentration. It was concluded that rats were not an acceptable model, possibly because of the high choline oxidase activity present in …
The Pilot-Reintroduction Of Red Wolves In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gregory T. M. Schildwachter
The Pilot-Reintroduction Of Red Wolves In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gregory T. M. Schildwachter
Masters Theses
Reintroduction projects are complex; this project attempted to further management and research aspects regarding reintroduction of the red wolf. The management goal was to assess the feasibility of reestablishing the red wolf in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in TN and NC. The research goal comprised 2 objectives: 1) to assess the potential for physical interaction between 4 reintroduced red wolves (1 adult pair and 2 juvenile females) and 6 resident coyotes (5 male, 1 female) by radio-telemetry; 2) to assess the implementation of reintroduction procedures by methods of policy analysis and statistical process control. The combination of research and …
