DIRECT ANALYSIS OF HOPS BY LEAF SPRAY AND PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY Kari Blain, M.S. Western Michigan University, 2012 The objective of this research is to develop a new and innovative method of hops analysis, which is much faster than standard testing methods, as well as reduce the amount of consumables and solvent used. A detailed discussion on the development of an ambient ionization mass spectrometry method called paper spray (PS-MS) and leaf spray (LS-MS) mass spectrometry will be presented. This research investigates the use of PS-MS and LS-MS techniques to determine the α- and β- acids present in hops. PS-MS and LS-MS provide a fast way to analyze hops samples by delivering data as rapidly as a UV-Vis measurement while providing information similar to lengthy liquid chromatographic separations. The preliminary results shown here indicate that PS-MS could be used to determine cohumulone and α/β ratios.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: BIOLOGICAL
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BIOLOGICAL EFFICACY, MECHANISMS OF ACTIONS OF SOY-DERIVED PHYTOALEXIN GLYCEOLLINS IN PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES Haiqiu Huang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor Liangli (Lucy) Yu Department of Nutrition and Food Science Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in U.S. male population. Diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and chronic inflammation promote the development of both CVD and prostate cancer. Glyceollins are a group of soy phytoalexins possessing a variety of biological activities. This research project focused on characterizing glyceollins’ bioactivities in alleviating cholesterol dysregulation, prevention of prostate cancer, and regulating gut microbiome. The first part of the project aimed to evaluate glyceollins’ cholesterol- lowering effect in-vivo. Male golden Syrian hamsters were fed high-fat diet with or without glyceollins supplementation for 28 days. Glyceollins supplementation led to a significant reduction of plasma VLDL, hepatic cholesterol esters and total lipid content. Consistent with changes in circulating cholesterol, glyceollins supplementation also altered expression of the genes related to cholesterol metabolism in the liver. The second part of the study aimed to evaluate glyceollins’ effect in reducing prostate cancer tumor growth in a xenograft model. An initial delayed appearance of tumor was observed in a PC-3 xenograft model. However, no difference in tumor sizes was observed in a LNCaP xenograft model. Extrapolation analysis of tumor measurements indicated that no difference in sizes was expected for both PC-3 and LNCaP tumors. Glyceollins had no effect on the androgen responsive pathway, its proliferation, cell cycle, or on angiogenesis genes in tumor and xenobiotic metabolism, cholesterol transport, and inflammatory cytokine genes in liver.

ABSTRACT Traditional medicine consists of huge number of plants with different pharmacological and medicinal values. The bioactive molecules have been identified. Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Pierre is one of the oldest plants with numerous properties, which is found all over the globe. It is commonly known as “Indian beech tree” and has been identified in Ayurvedic and Siddha system of medicines for the healing effect of human beings. Different parts of whole plant are used for treatment of various diseases including rheumatism, diarrhoea, gonorrhoea, whooping cough, leprosy and bronchitis. Extracts of the whole plant show significant anti- plasmodial, anti-ulcerogenic, anti-diarrhoeal, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and analgesic activities. Its oil is used as a source of biodiesel. The present review paper was aimed to u0pdate the information of Pongamia pinnata with reference to its pharmacological properties, chemical constituents and its use as anti-urolithiatic agent for the treatment of Urolithiasis. Keywords: Pongamia pinata, Indian beech tree, Healing effect, Anti-urolithiatic agent, urolithiasis. INTRODUCTION four- to five-toothed, with a papilionaceous corolla.
