Effects Of Creatine Supplementation On Muscular Strength And Power Development In Well-Trained Football Players, Josef D. Mcquain
Effects Of Creatine Supplementation On Muscular Strength And Power Development In Well-Trained Football Players, Josef D. Mcquain
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of creatine supplementation on strength and power performance in well-trained football players. Twenty-one subjects were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: 1) creatine monohydrate, 2) creatine monohydrate+dextrose, or 3) placebo utilizing a double-blind design. Prior to assignment, subjects were matched according to lean body mass. After a five day loading dose, a maintenance dose was administered for 12 days. Test protocols included three anaerobic work bouts: l) two 30 s Wingate bike tests interspersed with five minutes recovery were used to ascertain relative and absolute power, 2) two 100 yard …
An Immunomodulating Mycotoxin Interferes With The Development Of Autoimmune Diabetes In Diabetes-Prone Bb/Wor Rats, Honggang Liu
An Immunomodulating Mycotoxin Interferes With The Development Of Autoimmune Diabetes In Diabetes-Prone Bb/Wor Rats, Honggang Liu
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Various fungal products have immunomodulating activity and some have been studied regarding prevention of transplantation rejection. Prior to this investigation, the mycotoxin, gliotoxin (GT), has never been investigated as an immunotherapeutic drug for autoimmune disease. GT is a fungal secondary metabolite and a member of the epipolythiodioxopiperazine (ETP) family which has been shown to inhibit phagocytosis, induction of cytolytic T cells and the proliferation of T cells following mitogen stimulation. GT also induces in vitro apoptosis in certain immune cell types. More importantly, GT exhibits selective activity towards cells of hemopoietic origin.

The Regulation Of Glucose Transport In Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells By Angiotensin Ii And Glucose, Leslie Ann Quinn
The Regulation Of Glucose Transport In Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells By Angiotensin Ii And Glucose, Leslie Ann Quinn
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Glucose transport was assessed in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells by measuring the uptake of a radiolabeled non-metabolizable glucose analog, [3H]-2-deoxglucose. VSM cells, isolated from rat aortae by enzymatic digestion, were maintained in culture in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% newborn calf serum at 37°C with 5% CO2 and air. Angiotensin II (AU) increased glucose transport by 84%. Significant stimulation occurred by two hours of exposure with the maximum effect being observed between six and eight hours. All effects were concentration dependent with a threshold response being detected at 0.1 nM. All-stimulated transport was blocked by an AU …
