Intestinal Absorption And Lipolysis Of Safflower Oil And Other Unsaturated Vegetable Oils In Rats, Robert Leslie Gregory

Master's Theses

The intestinal lipolysis and absorption of safflower, corn, peanut, olive, cottonseed and soybean oils were studied in the rat. Oils and pancreatic lipase were injected into the rat jejunum and ileum (ligated in situ), and the amount of esterified fatty acids absorbed and free fatty acids present in the gut after 3 hours was determined.

Safflower oil was absorbed significantly less than the other oils. There was no significant difference between the absorption rates of the other oils. When the oils were subjected to porcine pancreatic lipase in vitro, safflower oil also exhibited the lowest rate of hydrolysis.

The rates …

A Comparative Study Of Solubilized Proteins From Phycomyces Blakesleeannus By Disc Electrophoresis, Douglas Burton Gillespie

Master's Theses

Mycelial, sporangiophore, and zygospore solubilized protein fractions o Phycomyces blakesleeanus Burgeff were separated on polyacrylamide gels and stained. Protein patterns of 8 and 13 day old mycelia of the + strain were identical as were the patterns of the same two age groups of the - strain. The + mycelia exhibited 9 protein bands while the - strain contained 10 bands. Seven bands were homologous to both strains. Sporangio­phore samples of 5 and 10 day old cultures from + and - strains contained 4 protein bands homologous to all 4 samples. The protein band at 9 mm was also …

The Induced Differentiation Of Mouse Ectoderm To Epidermis By Growth On Freeze-Thawed Dermis, Albert Joseph Banes

Master's Theses

Previous investigators have grown or maintained adult or embryonic skin in tissue culture and on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of chickens. These studies have revealed two important factors involved in culturing skin: (1) the presence of an inducer which originates in the dermis and affects the phenotype of epithelial cells; and (2) the influence of the physical surface of the substrate on which epidermis is cultured.

The current investigation presents evidence that ectoderm from the limb buds of 10 to 12 day-old mouse embryos can form an epidermis when combined with dermis killed by alternate freezing and thawing, and cultured …

Mrs. Gaskell's Industrial Novels: Mary Barton And North And South, Yvette D. Marambaud

Master's Theses

Since 1910, when Mrs. Gaskell's centenary was celebrated, few articles have been written about her. Except for her Life of Charlotte Bronte, she is not really well known in America. Few people read her tales or her short stories, and her novels are quite neglected. Yet her industrial novels, Mary Barton (1848) and North and South (1855), were very successful when they were first published. Mary Barton was an immediate success - perhaps in part because of the controversies it aroused.

A Study Of The Acetic Anhydride Method For The Determination Of Citric Acid, Russell Kent Odland

Master's Theses

Citric acid is an important compound of many systems. Numerous methods, both qualitative and quantitative, have been used for the determination of the compound. Some of the biological systems investigated include fermentation studies, action on yeasts, antioxidant in fruits, additive in bakery goods and salad dressing preparations, amounts in vegetables, and others.The above examples are not complete; they only show the varied applications of citric acid. The purpose of this project was to investigate a quantitative spectrophotometric method using anhydrous conditions based on the citric acid-acetic anhydride-pyridine reaction. Conditions affecting the reaction were investigated and optimized for maximum sensitivity and …

A Determination By Thin-Layer Chromatography Of The Chemical Nature Of The Poison Produced By The Bryozoan Lophopodella Carteri (Hyatt), John Michael Dolan

Master's Theses

A study was undertaken to isolate and characterize by thin-layer chromatography the poisonous principle produced by the freshwater bryozoan, Lophopodella carteri (Hyatt).

The bryozoan homogenate was divided into a lipid and non-lipid portion and each was assayed for toxicity. Only the lipid extract was lethal to fishes. The lipid part was divided into six classes by thin-layer chromatography. When tested, four of the six classes were toxic. Thin­ layer chroatography was used to subdivide each class into fractions. Assays showed toxicity in nine of fourteen fractions.

Evidence indicates that the poisonous princi ple is a lipid and the large number …

Influence Of Vicarious Reinforcement On An Observer's Speed Of Conflict Resolution, Nola R. Powell

Master's Theses

Conflict, expressed parsimoniously yet meaningfully, result from "competition between incompatible responses" (miller 1944). Conflict identified in this manner must be distinguished from a psychoanalytic definition invoking internal dynamic states and forces as explanatory concepts. In the interest of working with behaviors that are more readily observable and measurable, this paper will focus on conflict as defined in the first sense.

Lewin (1931), in particular, was instrumental in launching a concept of conflict based psychological field forces. Field forces, which were considered to be acquired, were said to have valences which had a point of application, strength, and direction. Valences could …

Substituted ℓ-Dialkylaminomethyl-3-Phenyl-1-Naphthalenemethanols, Richard Elroy Davis

Master's Theses

Malaria is still a world health problem. Established antimalarial drugs have become ineffective in many areas because of the emergence of resistant strains of malaria. New efforts have been initiated to study variations of new untried compounds and earlier structures shown to have activity. The 4-quinolinemethanols fall into the latter class. The great activity of the 4-quinolinemethanols is offset by their phytotoxic activity.

The possibility that substituted o(-dialkylaminomethyl-3-phenyl-1- naphthalenemethanols, as analogs of the 4-quinolinemethanols, would be effective antimalarials, yet not have the phototoxic side effect, is discussed in this paper. Synthetic pathways to the naphthalenemhethanols are discussed. Experimental procedures are …
