EFFECT OF CHITOSAN ON THE INDUCTION OF DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE BY SELENIUM COMPOUNDS.
(2009)
Selenium (Se), a nutrient trace mineral, plays important roles in optimizing human health. Chitosan is an effective, natural-oriented material for synthesizing nanopolymers, with preferable properties such as biocompatibility, ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF ALGAL BIOMEAL FOR APPLICATIONS IN FOOD
(2009)
Conventionally used as animal feeds, microalgae are now cultivated for products such as omega-3 fatty acids, resulting in a high amount of biomass as by-product. The biomass obtained after the extraction of DHA from ...
Assessment of Foodborne Pathogen Survival During Production and Pre-harvest Application of Compost and Compost Tea
(2009)
The use of compost in crop production systems as a soil amendment is recognized by both conventional and organic plant production practitioners as a means to increase yields and reduce the incidence of foliar diseases. ...
Appropriate Waist Circumference Cutoff Values for the Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in Mexican American Adults

Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) recently proposed new criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, which requires the presence ...
Depression and Hardiness and their Association with Appetite in Older Adults
(2009)
Poor appetite is common among older adults, and is influenced by factors including chronic disease and depression. The aim of this research is to examine the associations of hardiness (defined as the ability to manage ...
High Sucrose, Fructose, and Glucose Diets and Glucocorticoid Dysregulation in Rats
(2009)
Approximately two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese and the prevalence of overweight in children has tripled since 1980. Intake of added sugars has also increased. The etiology of obesity remains unclear and ...
Feasibility of Soluble Leaf Proteins as a Carrier for Vitamin D
(2009)
Resurgence of vitamin D deficiencies in recent years has ascribed the need for expansion of fortification strategies in food. Alluding to the fat soluble and sensitive chemical nature of vitamin D, existing fortification ...
HOW SELENIUM MODIFIES CROSS-TALK BETWEEN THE PIKK FAMILY AND INSIGHTS ON THE REGULATION OF DNA-PKcs
(2009)
We recently found that ATM is required for a selenium-induced senescence response in non-cancerous cells. We hypothesize the selenium-induced DNA damage response modifies ATM and DNA-PKcs cross-talk. Phospho-specific ...
THE FUNCTION OF MRN (MRE11-RAD50-NBS1) COMPLEX DURING WRN (WERNER) FACILITATED ATM (ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED) ACTIVATION
(2009)
WRN (Werner) protein is a member of the RecQ family showing helicase and exonuclease activity. WRN protein may lose function upon mutation and causes Werner syndrome (WS) which is an autosomal recessive, cancer-prone and ...
Antioxidant and Anti-proliferative properties of selected grape seed extracts
(2009)
This study examined chardonnay, muscadine, concord, and ruby red grape seed oil and flour extracts for antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties. The extracts were tested for total phenolic content, DPPH* · and ...
