Enhancement Of Nafld Risk By Vinyl Chloride : Role Of Adipose Tissue In A Mouse Model., Brenna R. Kaelin
Enhancement Of Nafld Risk By Vinyl Chloride : Role Of Adipose Tissue In A Mouse Model., Brenna R. Kaelin
College of Arts & Sciences Senior Honors Theses
Background: Vinyl chloride (VC), an environmental contaminant, is directly hepatotoxic at high concentrations. However, our group has recently demonstrated that VC and the VC metabolite chloroethanol (CE), at concentrations that are not considered hepatotoxic, enhanced liver injury caused by high-fat diet (HFD). These data therefore suggest that the impact of VC exposure on hepatic tissue may be enhanced with underlying metabolic syndrome and/or liver injury. It is known that there is an axis between adipose and hepatic tissue in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with the former impacting pathology in the hepatic tissue via release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or lipolysis. …
Using Age To Assess Retention Time Of Ingested Plastic In Seabirds, Tessa G. Nania, Gary Shugart, Peter Hodum
Using Age To Assess Retention Time Of Ingested Plastic In Seabirds, Tessa G. Nania, Gary Shugart, Peter Hodum
Summer Research
For the past 30 years, plastic pollution research has used plastic ingested and retain in seabirds’ gastrointestinal (GIT) tract as indicators of pollution on different spatial and temporal scales. Types and size of plastic found in birds’ stomachs were used to determine pollution types and severity at different times and places. However, the length of time that birds can retain plastic in their GIT is unknown, making ingested plastic’s use as a bioindicator questionable. We assessed retention times in two seabird species, the Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) and the Cassin’s Auklet (Ptychoramphus aleuticus), and compared the …
Simultaneous Determination Of Bpa And Bps Using Uv/Vis Spectrophotometry And Hplc, Jean Eudes Benecyo
Simultaneous Determination Of Bpa And Bps Using Uv/Vis Spectrophotometry And Hplc, Jean Eudes Benecyo
Honors Theses
Bisphenol A (BPA) has been one of the most used plasticizers with more than 4.8 million tons produced in 2012. BPA is also an endocrine disruptor that has been linked to adverse health effects such as cancer, obesity, behavioral and mood changes, lowered fertility, developmental changes and more in humans and other animals. The evidence of the toxicity of BPA, even at very low levels, has caused many countries to limit its use, especially in baby bottles and other baby-related hard plastic items. In these times, BPA has been replaced with other bisphenols, such as Bisphenol S (BPS). BPS is …
Mourning Wave: Grieving The Loss Of The Natural Environment, Kayla Stewart
Mourning Wave: Grieving The Loss Of The Natural Environment, Kayla Stewart
MAIS Projects and Theses
Informed and inspired by the sudden passing of my uncle, Mourning Wave is a physical manifestation of my own experience with grief as it relates to the natural environment. My own personal grief opened the door to experiencing collective grief. Constructed as a wave-shaped altar composed of discarded plastic, Mourning Wave aims to highlight the role of oceanic plastic debris in relation to the damage being done to the environment by humans. The wave is painted black, a traditional color of mourning. Colorful discarded plastic lies within the crest of the wave. This debris was collected several times as a …

Bioplastics: Reinventing Conventional Plastic Production And The Future Of Biodegradable Materials, Ruby Roca
2014 Student Theses
The use of plastic is prevalent in our society due to the increasing amount of new products entering the market that need some form of packaging that is solid enough yet disposable. From everything to yogurt containers to diapers, plastic containers are a large part of our society’s consumption culture and often goes unnoticed. However, people point to plastic water bottles and containers as the only culprit, and often times forget that almost all packaging contains some form of plastic. For my thesis I want to examine how the use of plastics has increased waste material, considering that it takes …
