Comparison of Rat a-GST ELISA to Rat a-GST Activity Assay for Use in High Throughput Toxicity Screening
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)In this investigation, four compounds were chosen to test an assay that would be easier and less expensive to run. Although this experiment was set up to compare results of the Rat a-GST ELISA and the GST Activity lines, ... -
Comparison of Tissue Digestion Techniques for Detecting Toxoplasma gondii in Cockles (Anadora granosa) along the Coast of Thailand
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa that causes an infection called toxoplasmosis in a majority of endothermic vertebrates. It is believed that felids, such as domestic cats, are the only definitive ... -
A Comparison Of Two Necturus maculosus Populations In Northeastern Ohio Prior To Lampricide Treatment
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2010-04)The invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is capable of causing significant ecological and economic damage in the Great Lakes region. Since 1958, the chemical pesticide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) has been ... -
The Complex Interplay between AHNAK1 and Calcium during Early Stages of Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Cells
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2010-04)Obesity, which is currently a major public health issue, results from excess adipose tissue. High intracellular calcium has been shown to attenuate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells, a model cell line for differentiation. The ... -
