Neurotransmitter Metabolism by Monoamine Oxidase in Porcine Heart Differs by Location and is Increased with Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Monoamine Oxidase (MAO), an outer mitochondrial enzyme, catalyzes the oxidative deamination of catecholamines and other biological amines, and in the process, produces a reactive aldehyde and H2O2. Our lab has recently ... -
Neurovascular Mechanisms of Erectile Dysfunction Following Androgen Deprivation Therapy
(East Carolina University, 2019-12-20)For nearly eight decades, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been a common prostate cancer treatment. Although ADT increases the prostate cancer survival rate, urogenital side effects such as erectile dysfunction (ED) ... -
NMR method for monitoring changes in the core of lipoprotein particles in metabolism and disease
(2017-01-14)A method is disclosed for measuring the properties of protein and lipoprotein elements in a sample. The method includes the of placing a small volume of a sample into a NMR instrument tuned to measure a particular nucleus, ... -
Nocturnal thoracoabdominal asynchrony in house dust mite-sensitive nonhuman primates
(2010)Nocturnal bronchoconstriction is a common symptom of asthma in humans, but is poorly documented in animal models. Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) is a noninvasive clinical indication of airway obstruction. In this study, ... -
