Maternal Nutritional Plane and Endogenous Retroviral Gene Elements, Pregnancy Hormones, and Placental Vascularity and Angiogenic Factors during the Establishment of Pregnancy in Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In order to meet the projected food demands by 2050, animal agriculture must increase
production of animal products on the same or decreased land area through increased efficiency.
Early gestation is one area to increase ...
Impacts of Beef Cow Nutrition on Conceptus Development
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of maternal nutrient restriction followed by realimentation during early to mid-gestation on uterine blood flow (BF), maternal performance, and conceptus development ...
Arginine Supplementation Strategies during Gestation: Impacts on Dams and Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
We hypothesize rumen-protected arginine supplementation during gestation will mitigate deleterious offspring effects caused by undernutrition. Experiment 1: non-pregnant ewes were supplemented with rumen-protected arginine ...
The Impact of Digestive Enzymes in the Ruminant Animal
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Understanding the enzymatic activity in ruminant digestive systems is essential for securing adequate growth, reproduction and overall metabolism. In order to evaluate the impact of various nutritional sources and dietary ...
Impacts of Supplemental Arginine on Ewe Reproductive Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of injectable and oral arginine (Arg) supplementation provided 14 d post-breeding on reproductive performance of fall lambing ewes. Upon estrus detection (d 0) ewes ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition on Fructose, Glucose, and Cationic Amino Acid Transporter Expression in Bovine Utero-Placental Tissues from Days 16 to 50 of Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Poor Maternal nutrition has been implicated to reduce nutrient transport to the conceptus. Therefore, we hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact mRNA expression of nutrient transporters GLUT1, ...
Stereoselective Carbon-Carbon Bond Construction Using Indium and Bismuth: New Methods in Green Chemistry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Selective chemical reactions that can be accomplished with minimal waste using non-toxic catalysts and reagents will allow for new greener chemical processes for future environmentally sustainable technologies. This work ...
Atropisomeric Chromophores as Catalysts and Substrates for Asymmetric Light Induced Transformations
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Photochemical transformations hold a unique place as they can provide access to molecules with unique stereochemical and structurally complex scaffolds, thus serving as a complementary approach to thermal transformations. ...
4-Dimethylamino Pyridine (DMAP) Catalyst with Fluxional Chirality: Synthesis and Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Organocatalysis using small organic molecules to catalyze organic transformations, has
emerged as a powerful synthetic tool that is complementary to metal-catalyzed transformations
and remarkably promote stereoselective ...
Attempted Total Syntheses of a Novel Lycopodine-Class Alkaloid and (R)-Myricanol, Compounds for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a significant challenge to both the pharmaceutical world as well as the synthetic organic chemistry world. One of the most important problems in this field is the lack of a unified approach to ...
