The Depth Of Porphyrin In A Membrane And The Membrane's Physical Properties Affect The Photosensitizing Efficiency, Adina Lavi, Hana Weitman, Robert T. Holmes, Kevin M. Smith, Benjamin Ehrenberg Jan 2002

The Depth Of Porphyrin In A Membrane And The Membrane's Physical Properties Affect The Photosensitizing Efficiency, Adina Lavi, Hana Weitman, Robert T. Holmes, Kevin M. Smith, Benjamin Ehrenberg

Faculty Publications

Photosensitized biological processes, as applied in photodynamic therapy, are based on light-triggered generation of molecular singlet oxygen by a membrane-residing sensitizer. Most of the sensitizers currently used are hydrophobic or amphiphilic porphyrins and their analogs. The possible activity of the short-lived singlet oxygen is limited to the time it is diffusing in the membrane, before it emerges into the aqueous environment. In this paper we demonstrate the enhancement of the photosensitization process that is obtained by newly synthesized protoporphyrin derivatives, which insert their tetrapyrrole chromophore deeper into the lipid bilayer of liposomes. The insertion was measured by fluorescence quenching by …

A Combined Analysis Of Genomewide Linkage Scans For Body Mass Index, From The National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute Family Blood Pressure Program, Xiaodong Wu, Richard S. Cooper, Ingrid Borecki, Craig Hanis, Molly Bray, Cora E. Lewis, Xiaofeng Zhu, Donghui Kan, Amy Luke, David Curb Jan 2002

A Combined Analysis Of Genomewide Linkage Scans For Body Mass Index, From The National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute Family Blood Pressure Program, Xiaodong Wu, Richard S. Cooper, Ingrid Borecki, Craig Hanis, Molly Bray, Cora E. Lewis, Xiaofeng Zhu, Donghui Kan, Amy Luke, David Curb

Faculty Publications

A combined analysis of genome scans for obesity was undertaken using the interim results from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Blood Pressure Program. In this research project, four multicenter networks of investigators conducted eight individual studies. Data were available on 6,849 individuals from four ethnic groups (white, black, Mexican American, and Asian). The sample represents the largest single collection of genomewide scan data that has been analyzed for obesity and provides a test of the reproducibility of linkage analysis for a complex phenotype. Body mass index (BMI) was used as the measure of adiposity. Genomewide linkage analyses …

Predicting Incident Diabetes In Jamaica: The Role Of Anthropometry, Lincoln A. Sargeant, Franklyn I. Bennett, Terrence E. Forrester, Richard S. Cooper, Rainford J. Wilks

Faculty Publications

Objective: To evaluate the performance of the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHTR) in predicting incident diabetes in Jamaica. Research Methods and Procedures: A cohort of 728 non-diabetic adults (290 men and 438 women), ages 25 to 74 years and residents of Spanish Town, Jamaica, were followed for a mean of 4 years. Participants had fasting and 2-hour postchallenge glucose concentrations measured at baseline and follow-up. Results: There were 51 cases of incident diabetes (17 men and 34 women). All indices were independent predictors of diabetes, and none was clearly superior. The area …

Ethnic-Difference Markers For Use In Mapping By Admixture Linkage Disequilibrium, Heather E. Collins-Schramm, Carolyn M. Phillips, Darwin J. Operario, Jane S. Lee, James L. Weber, Robert L. Hanson, William C. Knowler, Richard Cooper, Hongzhe Li, Michael F. Seldin

Faculty Publications

Mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium (MALD) is a potentially powerful technique for the mapping of complex genetic diseases. The practical requirements of this method include (a) a set of markers spanning the genome that have large allele-frequency differences between the parental ethnicities contributing to the admixed population and (b) an understanding of the extent of admixture in the study population. To this end, a DNA-pooling technique was used to screen microsatellite and diallelic insertion/deletion markers for allele-frequency differences between putative representatives of the parental populations of the admixed Mexican American (MA) and African American (AA) populations. Markers with promising pooled …

Faculty Publications

Background: The prevalence of obesity is higher among populations in industrialized than in developing countries. Objective: We sought to compare the relations of activity energy expenditure (AEE) with adiposity and weight change in 2 black populations with different levels of obesity. Design: Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and resting energy expenditure (REE) were measured and AEE was calculated in 58 Nigerian and 34 US black women and men. Weight was remeasured after ≥1 y in a subset of participants. AEE adjusted for body size and TDEE adjusted for REE were calculated with the use of the residual regression method. The …

Effect Of Sweeteners On The Microstructure Of Yogurt, Zahur Z. Haque, Kayanush J. Aryana Jan 2002

Effect Of Sweeteners On The Microstructure Of Yogurt, Zahur Z. Haque, Kayanush J. Aryana

Faculty Publications

The objective was to determine the effect of a peptide sweetener, Aspartame, compared to a carbohydrate sweetener, sucrose, on the microstructure of yogurt. Microstructure was determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Without the sweeteners, casein micelles, that make up the yogurt matrix, were observed in single longitudinal polymers. When Aspartame was used, casein micelles formed double longitudinal polymers. In comparison sugar caused casein micelles to form clusters. Data show that type of sweetener impacts state of association of casein micelles and thus effects microstructure.

Faculty Publications

A participatory research model was used in six village communities in the Central Region of the North West Province of South Africa in order to achieve the following broad objectives: to obtain information on the challenges owners face in raising livestock in these areas and to evaluate the livestock owners' level of knowledge of internal parasites in their animals. Information obtained at participatory workshops clearly indicated a need for improvements in water supply, schools, job creation, and health services. Lack of pasture for grazing livestock was also cited as being important. Other most frequently mentioned livestock problems included 'gall sickness' …

Faculty Publications

A longitudinal study was conducted on the differential faecal egg counts, haematocrits and body condition scores of sheep belonging to resource-poor farmers at Rust de Winter, Gauteng province, and Kraaipan, North West Province, South Africa. The animals were scored for level of anaemia using the FAMACHA© method, an assay for the clinical evaluation of anaemia caused by Haemonchus spp. Periods of higher Haemonchus egg counts occurred from October to March for sheep at Rust de Winter and from September/October to February or April for sheep at Kraaipan. Lower haematocrit values were registered during these periods as was a higher incidence …
