Decreased Triiodothyronine Binding To The Hepatic Nuclear Thyroid Hormone Receptor In The Diabetic Mouse, Thomas J. Dewind
Decreased Triiodothyronine Binding To The Hepatic Nuclear Thyroid Hormone Receptor In The Diabetic Mouse, Thomas J. Dewind
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The diabetic C57BL/KsJ-db m mouse has abnormal thyroid hormone levels and indications of thyroid hormone resistance. To investigate the basis of these abnormalities, the hepatic nuclear thyroid hormone receptor was extracted with 0.4 M KCl, 1.1 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.9 from hepatocyte nuclei of normal C57BL/KsJ, heterozygous C57BL/KsJ-db m (db/m), and diabetic C57BL/KsJ-db m (db/db) mice. Normal and heterozygous mice were grouped together as the controls. Triiodothyronine (T3) binding studies at 4°C using nitrocellulose filtration to separate free T3 from receptor bound T3 demonstrated an …
The Occurrence Of Fish Remains In Modern Lake Systems : A Test Of The Stratified-Lake Mode, Douglas R. Britton
The Occurrence Of Fish Remains In Modern Lake Systems : A Test Of The Stratified-Lake Mode, Douglas R. Britton
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Theories regarding the taphonomy of fishes in lacustrine environments have traditionally relied on an anoxic water column to explain the excellent preservation. This concept has never been directly tested in modern lacustrine environments that are thought to be analogous to the lacustrine environments predicted by the Stratified-lake Model. This research tested that model by searching for fish remains in 38 collected bottom samples of six modern lacustrine analogues, including Fayetteville Green Lake, New York. The bottom sediments of a warm, holomictic, shallow, and saline lake (Salton Sea, California) were also examined. Although laminated sediments were found in all of the …
Rimforest Landslides, San Bernardino Mountains, Southern California, David L. Hanson
Rimforest Landslides, San Bernardino Mountains, Southern California, David L. Hanson
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The highly visible erosional scars near the crest of the San Bernardino Mountains just east of Strawberry Peak near the community of Rimforest are active landslides. From at least the 1920's to 1988 the primary activity has been mass wasting by rockfall in highly fractured quartz monzonite. Tension cracks in the adjacent area indicate that active landsliding may be spreading. Landsliding in this area had its origin most likely with the uplift of the San Bernardino Mountains and has continued with periods of active movement associated with heavy precipitation and seismic activity separated by long periods of dormancy. The geomorphology …
