Altered Eicosanoid Metabolism Associates with the Salutatory Changes of Salt Restriction in Chronic Kidney Disease
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2019)Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health crisis affecting 11 to 13% of people worldwide. It often coincides with the development of hypertension, making hypertension a critical predictor of CKD progression. ... -
Among-Population Variation of Outcrossing Rate in the Winter Annual Plant Collinsia verna
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)Many plants utilize a mixed mating system whereby reproduction may occur by self-fertilization (selfing) and by cross-pollination (outcrossing). In population genetics, knowledge of the mating system is very important, ... -
AMPA-type Glutamate Receptor Trafficking in Neurons of the Hippocampus
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Learning and memory, as well as cognition, are mediated by networks of interconnected neurons. Over time, synapses with high levels of activity will become stronger and more easily stimulated to depolarize the neuron. ... -
An analysis of bee diversity and sampling methods in southwestern Michigan
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2021)Bees are one of the planet’s most important pollinators and can also serve as bioindicators of environmental health. Over the past twelve years, Dr. Ann Fraser’s lab at Kalamazoo College has been conducting bee population ... -
Analysis of Bradford Reactive Soil Protein in Agronomic Treatments at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize over 70% of land plant families. The fungi are obligate biotrophs and usually form a mutualistic relationship with plants in which AMF provides essential soil nutrients in exchange ... -
Analysis of enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein Expression in Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons in CRH-eGFP BAC Transgenic Mice
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)The endocrine response to stress is mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (Figure 1). The key hypothalamic regulator within the HPA axis is corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Dysregulation within ... -
Analysis of metamorphosis gene Ci-meta2 expression in Ciona intestinalis
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)The timing of genes expressed during metamorphosis can be crucial to the development of a normal adult phenotype. One gene, Ci-meta2 is currently being studied for its role in metamorphosis in Ciona intestinalis. This ... -
Analysis of stride frequency and stride length in horses completing treadmill endurance exercise
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2008)Endurance rides are a physically challenging athletic endeavor and development of lameness is the most common reason that horses competing over distances of 50 to 100 miles fail to finish Thus, it is important to study ... -
Analysis of Temperature and Feeding Behavior on Gastrointestinal Nematode Density in Varying Antelope Species
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is one of the most prevalent threats to the health of animals in captivity and drives program managers to pinpoint behavioral or physiological indicators that could lead to a quick ... -
Analysis of the behavioral time allocations of captive Cebus apella from the Franklin and Marshall vivarium
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)There are many prominent traits of human and non-human primates that can, in many cases, contribute to behavior. Tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella), as they are the focal primate species of this study, are not exempt ... -
Analysis of the HD and ACT domains of the E. coli signal-transducing Uridylyltransferase /Uridylyl-removing enzyme (UTase/UR)
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2008)The uridylyl-transferase/uridylyl-removing (UTase/UR) enzyme is part of two important signaling cascade mechanisms that control cellular function in response to signals of carbon and nitrogen status (figure 1). The ... -
Analysis of the KHRI-3 Antigen in Guinea Pig Inner Ear and Lung Tissues
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)•Mammalian ears are composed of the same basic structures (Figure 1). •How mammals hear •Sound waves ear canal vibrate tympanic membrane (eardrum) vibration to middle ear bones oval window (increase amplitude) standing ... -
Analysis of Treatments for Severe Spinal Cord Injury; Directly Comparing the Use of Adult Stem Cells from Olfactory Mucosa and Bone Marrow
(Kalamazoo College, 2006-04-28)Damage or pressure to the spinal cord leads to loss of motor function, paralysis, and/or sensory loss. Spinal cord injury (SCI) currently has no treatment, because axons in the central nervous system once damaged are ... -
Analyzing Seasonal Trait Distributions in Phytoplankton: An Application of Trait-Based Community Ecology
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)In a changing climate, a trait-based perspective is an effective way to consider a multitude of species and how they exist under varying environmental factors. Assessing species fitness through functional traits is ... -
