In this study, we investigated the role of these phospho-tyrosine residues in the platelet functional responses upon integrin engagement. We observed that c-Cbl Y700, Y731 and Y774 undergo phosphorylation upon platelet adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen, which was inhibited in the presence of PP2, a pan-src family kinase (SFK) inhibitor, suggesting that c-Cbl is phosphorylated downstream

Abstract:

The obesity epidemic is a major health threat affecting one in four people in the affluent western world, where high-energy foods are easily available and there is little need for exercise. To identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of obesity, one important step is to further define the complex circuitry in the brainwhich is ultimately responsible for our appetite and body weight regulation. Although complex, appetite can be thought of as having two distinct, though none mutually exclusive, aspects: the need to eat (homeostatic) and the desire to eat(hedonistic).The need to eat,

Abstract:

Bacteria are remarkable in their ability to adapt to environmental conditions that are continually in flux between growth-promoting and growth-limiting. Responses to a host of environmental situations are equally varied, ranging from the secretion of antimicrobial compounds and polymer degrading enzymes, to the up-regulation of alternative cellular developmental pathways leading to complete physiological transformation. In endospore forming bacteria this results in a metabolically inert, yet highly resistant endospore. The first study presented here deals with the NMR structural and dynamic ch

Abstract:

Sepsis is defined as a dysregulated immune response to infection causing organ dysfunction, and is a major area of unmet clinical need. Although conventionally considered a unified disease with a common pathway to organ failure and death, substantial clinical and molecular heterogeneity is seen, which has limited efforts to understand pathophysiology and improve therapeutic strategies. Sepsis is associated with global changes in gene expression, and genetic variants are known to affect the response to infection. This thesis therefore uses an integrated functional genomics approach to investiga

Numerical responses were examined in the movement of trawlers among seven aggregate fishing areas off the British Columbia coast. Three hypotheses for movement patterns were tested: (1) Movement follows traditional patterns, (2) Movement equalizes the gross dollar returns to effort (LPE$) in each area, and (3) Movement maintains relative LPE$ in each area. On the interannual time scale, I rejected the Equalize LPE$ hypothesis, but failed to reject either the Traditional Patterns or Maintain Relative LPE$ hypothesis. On the intra-annual time scale, I rejected both LPE$ hypotheses, but was unabl

Abstract:

Functional assessment procedures have proven effective in identifying the operant contingencies that maintain problem behavior. Typically, the evaluation of responding during functional analyses is conducted at the condition level. However, some variables affecting occurrences of behavior cannot be evaluated solely through the use of a cross-session analysis. Evaluating within-session patterns of responding may provide information about variables such as extinction bursts, discriminative stimuli, and motivating operations such as deprivation and satiation.

Abstract:

Here I used microarrays to identify genes that are activated or repressed by nicotine and caffeine in Drosophila melanogaster. I compared genotypes with differential resistance to each drug in order to select genes that may be involved in resistance to the drugs. Comparison of the genes differentially expressed by both drugs leads me to propose that there are common mechanisms of metabolic resistance to caffeine and nicotine, in particular cytochrome P-450-mediated mechanisms. Caffeine seems to have a more dramatic influence on gene expression than nicotine, in particular on expression of gene

It was our hope, that in identifying differences between the α₂-ARs we may elucidate their physiological roles and provide a potential means for the rational development of therapeutic drugs or models of such pathologies as atherosclerosis, hypertension and glaucoma.

Abstract:

Survival of an organism depends on its perception and response to external stressors such as infection, osmotic stress (ionic or desiccation) or xenobiotic stress. At the cellular level, stress is perceived and relayed via signal transduction pathways that alter transcription or establish new transcriptional programmes that modulate physiology at the whole-organism level to regain homeostasis and promote survival. The vital function of epithelial tissues (e.g., kidneys in vertebrates and Malpighian tubules in insects) is systemic balance of nutrient, solute and water levels. Additionally, epit

We first derive the model mathematically and then investigate, both analytically and numerically, the possible dynamics for this model, including the bifurcation and chaos.

Abstract:

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and a chronic inflammatory response. Sphingolipid metabolites are associated with the generation or perpetuation of low-grade chronic inflammation critical in atherosclerosis, obesity and cancer. Dietary sphingolipids, however, can suppress intestinal inflammation. We hypothesized that dietary sphingomyelin (SM) from bovine milk can modulate the inflammatory signature and improve muscle function in mdx mice, a model of DMD. C57BL10 (WT) and mdx mice were fed AIN 76A diet ± 0.1% SM for 7 weeks starting at age
