Antioxidant Defense In Exercised Skeletal Muscle Of The Aging -Delayed Ames Dwarf Mouse., Mark Andrew Romanick

Theses and Dissertations

The Free Radical Theory of Aging is considered to offer a viable explanation for the phenomenon of the aging process. The rate of aging according to this concept depends on an organism’s ability to control oxidative stress within its cellular environment. The experiments in this study center around the Ames dwarf mouse, a mammalian model of aging that has demonstrated both extended life span and heightened antioxidant defense, and skeletal muscle, a tissue whose function is significantly affected under the influence of aging. Hindlimb skeletal muscle from dwarf and wild type mice at different ages was tested for its antioxidant …

Protein -Protein Interactions Between Aldolase, Lactate Dehydrogenase And The Cytoskeleton Using Green Fluorescent Protein-Labeled Enzymes., Karl Alexander Wald

Theses and Dissertations

Interactions between the glycolytic enzymes lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) and aldolase and F-actin o f the cytoskeleton were studied by constructing enzyme/GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion proteins and measuring the interactions via in vitro co-precipitation analysis and in vivo localization analysis using fluorescent and confocal microscopy. Primers were used to isolate the genes o f LDHA, LDHB and aldolase from human muscle and heart cDNA libraries by PCR. GFP-fusion proteins were designed in N-terminal and C-terminal directions. GFPfusion proteins containing the 10-terminal amino acids from both the N and C terminus o f these enzymes were …

Screening Lytic Phage Display Libraries For Proteins Which Interact With Camp -Dependent Protein Kinase Regulatory Subunit Type I-Alpha., Robert A. Blanco

Theses and Dissertations

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is an essential signaling element involved in the regulation and modulation of cardiac function. It is an integral part of several signaling pathways. Evidence is mounting showing the necessity for subcellular localization of PKA regulatory subunits (R) for linking effector to response. Colocalization of PKA with specific substrates streamlines signaling while maintaining agonist specificity. Discerning which PKA actions require type-specific localization and how localization is effected is important for a better understanding o f the multiple roles PKA plays in the heart. RII is localized through interaction o f its dimerization domain with A kinase …

The Perceptions Of Selected Tribal College Transfer Students Attending The University Of North Dakota, Donna L. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the perceptions transfer students from Tribal Colleges have upon entering The University of North Dakota regarding their own readiness for a four-year institution. This study sought to find out what could be done at the tribal colleges, at UND, and what the institutions could do collaboratively to improve the success of tribal college transfer students. Eleven students participated in the study. They were first semester transfers coming directly from tribal colleges who had transferred in at least 45 semester credits and with grade point averages of 3.0 or higher. …

The Relationship Between Self-Reports Of Delinquent Behaviors And Adolescents' Perceptions Of Parental Care And Protectiveness, Jacqueline A. Bleess

Theses and Dissertations

The current study examined adolescents’ perceptions, in regards to parent levels of Caring and Overprotection, as correlates of self-reported delinquent behaviors in 135 males and female adolescents. As hypothesized, the results showed correlations between perceived Parental Care and self-reported levels of delinquent behaviors in both males and females. This study has shown that more males than females report participation in delinquent behaviors. As hypothesized, low levels of perceived Parental Care correlated to both male and female adolescents’ self-reports of delinquent behaviors, but overprotection (high overprotection) did not. The strongest predictor of adolescent participation in delinquent activities is the adolescents’ perception …

Distribution, Relative Abundance, And Reproductive Seasonality Of Larval Fish In The Red River, Timothy James Resseguie

Theses and Dissertations

Spawning habitat availability and reproductive timing are crucial factors that affect survival of larval fish. To understand temporal and spatial variation in larval fishes in the Red River, samples were collected from the Red River and North Dakota tributaries using ichthyoplankton nets. Collections were made during the spring and summer of 1999, 2000, and 2001. Spatial patterns were examined to uncover any variation in a cross section of the river. Common carp Cypritr j carpio, cyprinid spp. and white bass Morone crysops were more abundant near the surface than at mid-depth. Channel catfish Ictalurus pimctatus were more abundant at mid-depth …

Differences In Levels Of Sports Team Identification And Sports Fan Motivation Among American Indian And Caucasian University Of North Dakota Students, Tami Jollie-Trottier

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to measure the level of spectator identification and fan motivation among University of North Dakota (UND) students. Participants consisted of 57 Northern Plains American Indian students and 90 Caucasian students. Participants completed the Sports Spectator Identification Scale (SSIS) and the Sports Fan Motivation Scale (SFMS). It was predicted that Caucasian students would report higher levels of spectator identification with UND "Fighting Sioux" athletic teams than would American Indian students. It was further hypothesized Caucasian students would be more likely to contest changing the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo. It was also predicted that motivation …

Impact Of Corticosterone And Zinc Deprivation On Memory And Hippocampal Functioning, Patricia Lynn Moulton

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of long-term exposure to corticosterone (CC) and chronic zinc-deprivation (ZnD) on memory performance and hippocampal damage in rats. Previous work has examined the impact of exposure to CC or the impact of ZnD, but no previous work has examined the combined impact on memory performance. Previous work suggests that chronic exposure to CC or ZnD results in hippocampal damage and memory deficits.

The present study utilized a broader range of memory tests than previous studies and administered the memory tests early and late in the time period of CC exposure …
