Characterization of a Low Affinity Thyroid Hormone Receptor Binding Site within the Rat GLUT4 Gene Promoter
(1997-03)Previous studies have demonstrated that thyroid hormone (T3) stimulates insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) transcription and protein expression in rat skeletal muscle. The aim of the present study was to define ... -
Characterization of a Peroxide-Resistant Mutant of the Anaerobic Bacterium Bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 1998-11)A Bacteroides fragilis mutant resistant to hydrogen peroxide and alkyl peroxide was isolated by enrichment in increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The mutant strain was constitutively resistant to 100 mM H2O2 ... -
Characterization of Bacteroides fragilis Hemolysins and Regulation and Synergistic Interactions of HlyA and HlyB
(East Carolina University, 2006-04)This study describes the presence of 10 hemolysin orthologs in the genome of the opportunistic human anaerobic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis, which is currently classified as a nonhemolytic bacterium. The hemolysins were ... -
Characterization of critical spawning habitats of weakfish, spotted seatrout and red drum in Pamlico Sound using hydrophone surveys
(1999)Final report for "Characterization of critical spawning habitats of weakfish, spotted seatrout and red drum in Pamlico Sound using hydrophone surveys." -
Characterization of Damping Properties in 3D Printed Structures
(2018-12-01)Current research on the effectiveness of a subordinate oscillator array (SOA) as a broadband mechanical filter relies on adequate knowledge of the SOAs material properties. Recent studies have shown a high sensitivity ... -
Characterization of Extracellular Polymeric Substances from Acidophilic Microbial Biofilms
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)We examined the chemical composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extracted from two natural microbial pellicle biofilms growing on acid mine drainage (AMD) solutions. The EPS obtained from a mid-developmental-stage ... -
Characterization of FtrABCD: a ferrous iron-specific transporter that is required for the virulence of Brucella abortus 2308 in mice
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)Brucella strains are Gram-negative bacteria that cause abortion and infertility in their natural animal hosts resulting in extensive economic losses. Humans can acquire a chronic, debilitating febrile illness known as ...
