The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair

Daly, William T.; Yao, Li; Abu-rub, Mohammad T.; O'Connell, Claire; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I.; Windebank, Anthony J.; Pandit, Abhay S. (Elsevier, 2012-06-24)

The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft. Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture, which is essential for regeneration. ...
Effect of large neutral amino acids on maternal phenylketonuria offspring

Gowda, Supriya Srinivasa; McDonald, J. David (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2005-04-22)
The effect of large neutral amino acids on maternal phenylketonuria offspring

Gowda, Supriya Srinivasa (Wichita State University, 2006-05)

Women with untreated phenylketonuria (PKU), tend to give birth to infants with multiple congenital anomalies, as elevated maternal phenylalanine (Phe) level is teratogenic. The best outcomes occur when strict control of ...
Effect of maternal blood phenylalanine level on mouse maternal phenylketonuria offspring

Cho, Sangbun; McDonald, J. David (Academic Press, 2001-12)

The genetic mouse model BTBR-Pah(enu2) was used to more thoroughly investigate the pathogenesis of maternal phenylketonuria (MPKU). More specifically, it was used to examine the effect of maternal blood phenylalanine (PHE) ...
Effects of atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and their interactions on anti-predator behavior and activity in African clawed frogs, Xenopus laevis

Heckmann, Jonathan Gardner (Wichita State University, 2009-05)

Two separate experiments were conducted to examine potential mixture effects of chronic, sub-lethal concentrations of atrazine and chlorpyrifos on the alarm response and activity of larva of the African clawed frog, Xenopus ...
Effects of atrazine on the reproductive fitness in the African clawed frog

Cox, Crystal; Brown-Sullivan, Karen L. (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2005-04-22)
Effects of sublethal concentrations of atrazine and nitrate on metamorphosis of the African clawed frog

Sullivan, Karen Brown; Spence, Karla M. (John Wiley & Sons, 2003-03)

Tadpoles of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) were exposed to sublethal concentrations of atrazine (0, 40, and 320 microg/L) and nitrate (0, 37, and 292 mg/L) from feeding stage to metamorphosis. A 3 x 3 factorial ...
Effects of temperature on the toxicity of m-parathion, chlorpyrifos, and pentachlorobenzene to Chironomus tentans

Lydy, Michael J.; Belden, J. B.; Ternes, M. A. (Springer New York, 1999-11)

This study examined the influence of temperature (10, 20, and 30 degrees C) on the acute toxicity and accumulation of two organophosphate (OP) insecticides and a narcotic chemical to the midge (Chironomus tentans). OP ...
The effects of two phytohormones in Medicagotruncatula plants infected with Macrophomina phaseolina

Gaige, Andres Reyes (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

Macrophomina phaseolina is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes a disease known as charcoal rot. This fungal infection dramatically decreases the crops’ yield due to loss in biomass, low seed quality and plant death. ...
Effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on plants, plant populations and communities: A Review

Russell, F. Leland; Zippin, David B.; Fowler, Norma L. (The University of Notre Dame, 2001-07)

Large effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) upon individual plants, plant populations and communities have been documented in a number of studies. However, well-supported experimental measures of the ...
Effects of white-tailed deer on the population dynamics of acorns, seedlings and small saplings of Quercus buckleyi

Russell, F. Leland; Fowler, Norma L. (2004)

To measure the effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herbivory on seeds, seedlings, and young saplings of Quercus buckleyi on the eastern Edwards Plateau of central Texas, USA, experimental fenced ...
Efficient generation and mapping of recessive developmental mutations using ENU mutagenesis

Herron, Bruce J.; Lu, Weining; Rao, Cherie; Liu, Shanming; Peters, Heiko; Bronson, Roderick T.; Justice, Monica J.; McDonald, J. David; Beier, David R. (Nature Publishing Group, 2002)

Treatment with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) efficiently generates single-nucleotide mutations in mice. Along with the renewed interest in this approach, much attention has been given recently to large screens with broad ...
Endocrine disruptive nature of clomiphene citrate upon the mammalian ovary

Bowser, Jessica Lynn; May, Jeffrey V. (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2005-04-22)
Endometrial hyperplasia and apoptosis following neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure and subsequent estrogen stimulation in both host and transplanted hamster uteri

Hendry, William J. III; Zheng, Xinglong; Leavitt, Wendell W.; Branham, William S.; Sheehan, Daniel M. (American Association for Cancer Research, 1997-05-15)

Prenatal exposure to the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) causes morphogenetic alterations and neoplasia in the human reproductive tract. In the hamster, neonatal DES exposure alters early uterine morphogenesis ...
ENU mutagenesis in the mouse

McDonald, J. David; Beier, David (John Wiley & Sons, 2004-02)

This unit describes the treatment of laboratory mice with the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to achieve very highly induced rates of mutation throughout the genome. Further, it describes several popular mating schemes ...
