Plants need to continuously adjust their cellular components in response to various stresses that lead to inhibition of photosynthesis and the deprivation of cellular energy. This adjustment is triggered in part by a coordinated re-programming of the energy-associated transcript…
Large body of evidence implicates the natural polyamines in various fundamental cellular processes, particularly in the process of cellular proliferation where they are absolutely required. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to growth inhibition following polyamine deplet…
Under the direction of KAREN D. ROWLAND, PH.D The aim of the study was to examine the association between emotional trauma, perceived stress reactivity and the growth of uterine fibroids in Nigerian women. The study sample consisted of 143 Nigerian women of child-bearing age, ra…
Introduction: The stress response is the complex physiological reaction that emerge in the face of a significant threat to bodily integrity or wellbeing. While the stress response is considered adaptive, over-activation of the stress response could be maladaptive and may lead to…
Identification of biomarkers that reflect physiological status is fundamental for assessing population health, as well as providing more accurate estimates of life history parameters. Blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and gray (Eschrichtius robustus) whale populations feed on lower t…
The current study is the first known research to investigate the association of the freezing response with PTSD and traumatic stress in the military veteran student population. Current understanding of the freezing response are primarily based in comparative psychology, with som…
