CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Activation Dose-Dependently Modulates Neuronal Activity within Caudal but not Rostral Song Control Regions of Adult Zebra Finch Telencephalon
(East Carolina University, 2008-08)CB1 cannabinoid receptors are distinctly expressed at high density within several regions of zebra finch telencephalon including those known to be involved in song learning (lMAN and Area X) and production (HVC and RA). ... -
CD44 and hyaluronan promote the bmp7 signaling response in chondrocytes
(East Carolina University, 2011)Cell-matrix interactions are important in maintaining cartilage homeostasis. Hyaluronan binding to its principal receptor CD44 is essential for such interactions. Hyaluronan-CD44 interactions are required for the retention ... -
Cdc6 expression represses E-cadherin transcription and activates adjacent replication origins
(2011-12)E-cadherin (CDH1) loss occurs frequently in carcinogenesis, contributing to invasion and metastasis. We observed that mouse and human epithelial cell lines overexpressing the replication licensing factor Cdc6 underwent ... -
Cecal and fecal bacterial flora of the Mongolian gerbil and the chinchilla.
(East Carolina University, 1988-05)The Mongolian gerbil is being increasingly used as a laboratory animal and as a pet. Both chinchillas and gerbils are used as animal models for otitis media and other otic research. Previously, only incomplete information ... -
Cedar on the reef : archaeological and historical assessments of the Eighteenth-Century Bermuda Sloop, exemplified by the wreck of the Hunter Galley
(East Carolina University, 2003)The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the remains of a shipwreck lost on the reefs, near Hogfish Cut, south of Pompano Flats, approximately 600 yards off the southwest shore of Bermuda represent a Bermuda sloop. ... -
Celebration and ceremony through life
(East Carolina University, 2010)This written report supports a creative thesis investigation about objects used for celebrations and ceremonies. My work in precious metals and textiles symbolically represents significant transitions in a human life. ... -
Celestial Bodies : A Collection of Poems
(East Carolina University, 2012)A celestial body, according to Merriam-Webster, is "an aggregation of matter in the universe that constitutes a unit for astronomical study." More specifically, it is a planet, nebula, star, or some such natural heavenly ... -

Central GPR109A Mediates Neuronal Oxidative Stress and Pressor Response in Conscious Rats
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)The primary goal of this study was to characterize the role of GPR109A in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in blood pressure (BP) regulation and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the hypertensive response ... -
The Central Places of Albemarle Sound : Examining Transitional Maritime Economies Through Archaeological Site Distribution
(East Carolina University, 2011)Historical evidence shows that the Albemarle Sound region has a long history of maritime trade. As technologies improved, early settlers moved beyond simple subsistence farming to expand extensive maritime trade networks ... -

CHAIN SMOKING : LINKING VIRGINIA'S AND BARBADOS' COMMERCIAL TOBACCO PRODUCTION
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of this thesis is to examine the commercial tobacco production of Virginia and Barbados and explore the connections between them. The economic activities, especially tobacco production, that developed altered ... -
Challenges and Solutions in the Development of Genomic Biomarker Panels: A Systematic Phased Approach
(2012-06)In the post-genome era, high throughput gene expression profiling has been successfully used to develop genomic biomarker panels (GBP) that can be integrated into clinical decision making. The development of GBPs in the ... -
