The effect of free fatty acids on endothelial cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)The purpose of this thesis was to determine if specific components of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) molecules e.g. oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), or saturated free fatty acids (FFA) are alone ... -
Modulation of the ACTH response to stress by IL-6, nitric oxide, diet and exercise
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary is one step in the activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is activated in response to stress and the secretion of ACTH is under the control ... -
