The Effect Of Thiamine And Its Antagonists On Plasma And Tissue Lactic Dehydrogenase In Rats, Dong Hwa Park

Theses and Dissertations

The lactic dehydrogenase activity in plasma and tissues was measured in the thiamine-deprived, the oxythiamine-treated and the pyrithiamine-treated rats as well as the control rats. The lactic dehydrogenase levels of brain and kidney were significantly increased by oxythiamine treatment. The enzyme activity in heart was markedly decreased only in the thiamine-deprived rats. Unlike the above tissues, the enzyme levels in liver were decreased by 29-44 per cent in all three types of thiamine deficiency, However, the enzyme activity in plasma was significantly increased only by pyrithiamine administration. The distribution patterns of lactic dehydrogenase isozymes were electrophoretically examined in these deficiencies. …

Weight And Isometric Training In Relation To Certain Aspects Of Golf Performance, Richard L. Wenzel

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a weight lifting and isometric exercise program could be developed, which would enable a golfer to increase his distance off the tee without adversely affecting the accuracy of various golf shots.

One group of ten subjects was used in this study. This group was tested in the fall of 1966 to determine the distance and accuracy with which they could hit the ball off the tee. The golfers were also tested for the degree of accuracy which they possessed in hitting the chip shot both for distance and angle deviation. They …

Studies On The Levels Of Acetylcholine In The Brains Of Thiamine-Deprived And Thiamine-Antagonized Rats, Darwin Leroy Cheney

Theses and Dissertations

Thiamine deficiency has been reported to cause nerve degeneration in the peripheral nervous system and hemorrhage with associated cellular damage in the central nervous system (Prickett, 1934). Koedam (1958) observed convulsions in thiamine-deficient pigeons, but convulsions have only rarely been seen in rats (Gubler, 1961). Rats treated with the thiamine antagonist, pyrithiamine (PTh)* always develop ataxia and convulsions but these neurological symptoms have never been reported in those treated with oxythiamine (OTh), another thiamine antagonist (Gubler, 1961). Hosein, Chabrol, and Freedman (1966) concluded that neurological symptoms occur only when the brain thiamine content is diminished to 2.5%o r less of …

The Effects Of Force Feeding On The Levels Of Pyruvate, Glucocorticoids And Glucose In The Blood And On Adrenal Weight In Thiamine-Deprived And Thiamine-Antagonized Rats, Ronald Adams Bitter

Theses and Dissertations

The discovery of a substance in rice polishings that was useful in preventing beriberi was first shown by Grijns and Vedder (Wuest, 1962). In 1926, Jansen and Donath (Wuest, 1962} crystallized this substance which was subsequently synthesized independently by Williams and Cline (1936} and Grewe (1936). This substance was named thiamine by Williams (1936) because of its structure having the vital thiazole ring and because it was an "essential amine."

Observations On The Life History Of The Goldeye, Hiodon Alosoides (Rafinesque), In Moccasin Bay On The Little Missouri Arm, Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota, Robert N. Hieb

Theses and Dissertations

The life history and population structure of goldeye, Hiodon alosoides (Rafinesque), in Moccasin Bay, Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota, were investigated during 1966 and 1967. This species had not been commercially exploited in this impoundment, but current populations indicate that a commercial fishery can be supported.

A gill net fished from the surface to the bottom captured 885 goldeye in 1966. Total-length, weight, and sex were recorded and scale samples collected. The length-frequency of the catch was plotted, and average rate of growth of seven year-classes was calculated by examination of scales from 365 fish. Length-weight relationships and sex ratios were …

Theses and Dissertations

This study attempted to analyze and synthesize the opinions of a randomly selected sample of typewriting teachers pertaining to the development of composition skill at the typewriter, in first-year typewriting.

The findings of this study revealed the majority of teachers believed the following about composition at the typewriter:

1. A need exists for standards and guidelines in methodology and for a comprehensive booklet on developing composition skill.

2. A student's typewriting rate (speed and accuracy) affects the amount he …
