Neurokinin-1 antagonism as a novel treatment for feline asthma : investigation of the role of substance p in airflow limitation and airway inflammation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Feline asthma, a chronic respiratory condition, results cough and/or episodic respiratory distress induced by airway hypperresponsiveness (AHR), airway eosinophilia, and airway...
Estrogen receptor [alpha] and [beta] knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature female and male mice, and aromatase knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature male mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Estrogen regulates skeletal muscle mass and function in female. Estrogen may influence skeletal muscle mass and function during development in males as estrogen receptors (ER...
Upregulation of COX-2 protein expression in porcine macula densa with L-NAME treatment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] COX-2 inhibitors are newly developed drugs which are widely used for controlling pain and inflammation. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of the prostaglandins...
Comparative imaging of canine shoulder osteochondrosis lesions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Over the last several years, papers have been published describing imaging techniques for the canine shoulder joint using both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging...
Fgf2-stimulated proliferation is lower in muscle precursor cells from old rats
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In aged skeletal muscle, impairments in the regrowth and regeneration may be explained by a decreased responsiveness of muscle precursor cells (MPCs), or satellite cells...
Development of a motor unit number estimation technique in normal dogs : a potential biomarker for canine degenerative myelopathy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is an electrophysiologic technique for quantifying the lower motor neuron (LMN) system. MUNE has proven useful in evaluating and monitoring neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic ...
A reversal of fate : unravelling the role of central 5-HT in cardiorespiratory control in neonatal and adult rodents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
We seek to address the extent to which a specific loss of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) affects the control of respiration, arterial blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate (HR) across vigilance-states based on existing evidence ...
