Suppression Of Dgat2 Expression Improves Hepatic Steatosis And Prevents Fat Induced Insulin Resistance, Ameya Kulkarni
Suppression Of Dgat2 Expression Improves Hepatic Steatosis And Prevents Fat Induced Insulin Resistance, Ameya Kulkarni
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
It is well known that metabolites resulting from the accumulation of fat in tissue results in fatty liver, obesity, and insulin resistance. Because triglyceride synthesis is essential for this process, inhibition of the final step of TG synthesis has been considered as a new therapeutic target for hepatosteatosis and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the metabolic impact of acyl CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) and 2 (DGAT2) suppression. We used antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to reduce the expression of these enzymes in liver and fat in Sprague Dawley rats fed a 27% safflower oil high fat diet (HFD) for …

Response Of A Native Bamboo [Arundinaria Gigantea (Walt.) Muhl.] In A Wind-Disturbed Forest, Paul R. Gagnon, William J. Platt, E. Barry Moser
Response Of A Native Bamboo [Arundinaria Gigantea (Walt.) Muhl.] In A Wind-Disturbed Forest, Paul R. Gagnon, William J. Platt, E. Barry Moser
Faculty Publications
Numerous bamboos are known to form extensive single-species stands, including species in the United States. Formerly prominent in the southeastern US, canebrakes are dense stands of the bamboos collectively called "cane" [Arundinaria (Michx)]. Canebrakes are now a critically endangered component of the bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem. Cane still occurs in its historic range, primarily in small remnant patches. A poor understanding of the ecological processes that generated large canebrakes limits their restoration and management. We hypothesize that cane's spreading clonal structure enables these bamboos to persist beneath a forest canopy and then respond rapidly to large-scale wind disturbances. We quantified …
Cranberries: The Use Of A Naturally Occurring Compound To Fight Against Periodontopathogens, Debbie L. Darius
Cranberries: The Use Of A Naturally Occurring Compound To Fight Against Periodontopathogens, Debbie L. Darius
Undergraduate Student Symposium
This literature review focuses on the use of a naturally occurring compound found in cranberries (proanthocyanidins) to fight against periodontopathogens and thus the development of periodontal disease. Periodontopathogens and their invasion in gingival tissues and periodontium is the usual cause of periodontitis. Oral microorganisms coaggregate to become major bacterial complexes, allowing their proteases to digest similar components of the gingival crevicular fluid located in subgingival sites. The most common microbe associated with this disease is P. gingivalis where its proteolytic enzymes gingipains and dipeptidyl peptidases IV break down collagen and create large supplements of iron for the bacteria. However, recent …
Utilization Of Passive Acoustic Tracking To Determine Artificial Habitat Use And Movement Of Nurse Sharks, Ginglymostoma Cirratum, Michael Palozzola
Utilization Of Passive Acoustic Tracking To Determine Artificial Habitat Use And Movement Of Nurse Sharks, Ginglymostoma Cirratum, Michael Palozzola
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The ecological characteristics of many cryptic and evasive marine vertebrates, such as sharks, are widely unknown, largely, due to the inability to efficiently monitor and track them over extended periods of time. Recent advances in ultrasonic acoustic telemetry now allow scientists to collect data on these highly elusive predators more efficiently then ever before. Marine animals, such as the nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, have been observed at artificial reefs, such as sunken vessels, but how long they spend at or near these habitats is unknown. This research aims to determine the habitat use of the nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum …
The Synthesis Of Building Blocks For Metal-Organic Frameworks (Mof): Potential For Gaseous Fuel Storage, Richard C. Wheeler
The Synthesis Of Building Blocks For Metal-Organic Frameworks (Mof): Potential For Gaseous Fuel Storage, Richard C. Wheeler
Undergraduate Student Symposium
There is currently considerable interest in the use of hydrogen as an energy transport medium. While hydrogen provides clean combustion, storage and transport raises complex engineering challenges, resulting in potentially expensive design restraints. Current research indicates that transition metal complexes of mononucleating ligands, such as 1,3-bis(pyridylimino)benz(f)isoindoline (NBAII), spontaneously form uniform channels in the crystalline matrix that may be suitable for hydrogen storage. Furthermore, the alteration of the ligand substituents may yield the ability to tailor the shape and size of the crystalline channel to optimize the geometric configuration. Specifically, the x-ray crystallography of the divalent copper complex of NBAII indicates …
The Effects Of Academic Stress On Immune Functioning, Maureen Green, Lara Murphy
The Effects Of Academic Stress On Immune Functioning, Maureen Green, Lara Murphy
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Stress associated with academic examinations is thought to cause immunosuppression in students. However, it is currently unclear whether the immunosupression associated with academic pressure is related to increases in the stress hormone, cortisol. Indeed, it is possible that factors independent of cortisol may control the emotional and immune response. In the current study, we were interested in untangling the complex relationship between academic stress and immunusupression through comparing both subjective and objective measures of academic stress and immune functioning. Students were assessed before, during, and after an academic examination period. During each assessment, self-reported subjective reports of stress were collected …

The Effect Of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (Dmso) On The Growth Of A2780 Cancer Cell Line, Fatima Nassriyeh, Terry-Ann Dawes, Sarah Siddiqui
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a by-product of the wood industry, has been in used as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most used but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time. In the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant. In the research laboratories DMSO is commonly used as a vehicle to solubilize and water insoluble drugs and to increase the membrane permeability of drugs during in vitrotreatments. In cell culture laboratories DMSO is also used as a cryoprotectant to help protect the …
Post-Absurdism: Ionesco And The Juxtaposition Of Absurdism And Postmodernism, Elizabeth B. Harbaugh
Post-Absurdism: Ionesco And The Juxtaposition Of Absurdism And Postmodernism, Elizabeth B. Harbaugh
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this paper is to situate Eugène Ionesco’s dramatic works within an historical, literary, and theoretical framework. By examining the influences of both absurdism and postmodernism on Eugène Ionesco’s work, we can discern specific cultural and philosophical issues concerning Europeans, artists, and the general world population following the Second World War. Eugène Ionesco’s works are ultimately extremely historically and theatrically significant and worthy of study, despite a contemporary distance from absurdism as a worthy field of study.
Molecular Chaperones And Parasites, Andrew Deonarine
Molecular Chaperones And Parasites, Andrew Deonarine
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Molecular chaperones and chaperonins are proteins found in all living organisms from the prokaryotic bacteria all the way to the eukaryotic human. These proteins serve to play several important roles within the cell. The tasks vary from assisting directly or indirectly in the folding of nascent proteins produced by the ribosome, repairing heat damaged proteins, involvement in cell signaling, and cell differentiation. Many of these proteins are inducible in response to heat. Therefore they became known as heat shock proteins (Hsp). Proteins are absolutely vital in any cell. They serve specific structural and functional roles to enable cellular life. Currently, …
Mechanisms Of Action Of Ketoconazole And Voriconazole On Trichophyton Rubrum: Effects On Growth, Cell Division, And Cell Membrane Morphology, Katia Chavez
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Onychomycosis, the infection of nails by fungal dermatophytes, affects from 3 up to 10% of the world’s population. Therefore, it is important to design an effective drug treatment for this condition. Since most onychomycosis infections are caused by the Trichophyton spp., the aim of this experiment is to study two anti-fungal drugs’, Voriconazole and Ketoconazole, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) on Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) . More specifically, the MICs of reference to be studied are 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125μg.mL-1 . Additionally, comparing the MIC’s of Voriconazole and Ketoconazole will improve our understanding of …

Dissonant Composition: Gender Inequalities In Music, Greg Kyriakakis
Dissonant Composition: Gender Inequalities In Music, Greg Kyriakakis
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Gender constructions are inescapable in society; it is therefore understandable that inequities have permeated the realm of classical and popular music. From the types of instruments young children decide to study to the composition of modern rock bands, gender roles and expectations have helped shape the state of music. Women who further their study in music predominantly learn from the works of male artists, influencing the female musicians’ style while crippling personal creativity. Even the body of the performer plays a role in the type of instrument studied; female vocalists rely on their body to produce sound while male musicians …
Comparing Nuclear Fission And Nuclear Fusion As An Alternative Source Of Energy, Natasha Antonovich, Michael Ratliff, Neeketa Sheth
Comparing Nuclear Fission And Nuclear Fusion As An Alternative Source Of Energy, Natasha Antonovich, Michael Ratliff, Neeketa Sheth
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The purpose of this research project was to explore alternate nuclear energy sources. The nuclear energy sources that were examined were fission and fusion. From the research that was done, pros and cons were found for each type of nuclear energy. Fission, being an established technology for energy, posed an economical advantage; however, the waste that is given off from these reactions is a great environmental detriment. Fusion reactors are newer nuclear energy sources, thus they are more costly, but their lack of radioactive waste gives fusion an environmental advantage. Given that both reactions have positive and negative sides to …
Attraction On The Basis Of Relationship Status, Laxmi Lalwani, Luciana Ortiz
Attraction On The Basis Of Relationship Status, Laxmi Lalwani, Luciana Ortiz
Undergraduate Student Symposium
Research has shown that the criteria women use to evaluate men’s attractiveness shift across the menstrual cycle (Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998). For example, when women are in the fertile phase of their cycle, they report greater attraction to men who display high intrasexual competitiveness (Gangestad, Simpson, Cousins, Garver-Apgar, & Christensen, 2004). We propose to examine female college students’ attraction to men based on the phase of their cycle and the men’s relationship status. In a between- participants design, female college students will either be told that a male confederate is single or in a relationship. We will then ask the …
A Dream, Amy Harvey

Using Various Visual Census Techniques To Assess Fish Assemblages On Nearshore Habitats Off Lantana Beach, Florida, Tandace Burkhart, Kaela Perez, Michael Palozzola, Jillian Maffucci
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The nearshore environment off southern Palm Beach County is characterized by extensive areas of hardbottom, primarily composed of limestone beachrock and Sabellarid worm reefs. These substrates are located very close to shore in the surf zone, an area of high wave action, and provide habitat to a wide variety of fish species. These habitats are ephemeral and cycle through burial and exposure events over time due to shifting sand from nearby beach renourishment projects. One goal of this study is to determine the species composition and abundance of this fish assemblage using various visual census techniques. We will be trained …

Forearm Injury In A Female Collegiate Rower: Case Study, Priscilla Rashida Dobbs
Forearm Injury In A Female Collegiate Rower: Case Study, Priscilla Rashida Dobbs
Undergraduate Student Symposium
The topic of this project is to examine a forearm injury sustained by a female collegiate rower. The final diagnosis, based on MRI and X-ray testing, was Left Forearm Pain with a Grade I Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Strain, though initial signs and symptoms led the sports medicine team to suspect more serious injuries. The athlete received conservative treatment and rehabilitation exercises were initiated, aimed at restoring full strength and function. The certified athletic trainer and athletic training student observed a “mass” over the anterior forearm during the initial evaluation. The defect was more prominent with wrist and finger flexion; however, …
