Glucocorticoid Receptor Density and Binding Affinity in Horses with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
(Virginia Tech, 2014-06-03)There were three objectives of this study. The first was to determine if commercially available fluorochromes could be used to determine the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) density and binding affinity (BA) in equine peripheral ... -
Gluconeogenesis in the liver of growing and lactating ruminants: the influence of ration composition and stage of lactation
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1991)Thirty six: Holstein bull calves were assigned to a 3X3 factorial design with ration physical forms of chopped hay (CH), ground hay (GR) and all concentrate (CONC) and rumen degradable nitrogen (RDN) of 30, 45 and 60%. ... -
Glucose and insulin dynamics associated with continuous infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin in healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses
(Virginia Tech, 2008-06-20)The objective of the study was to investigate and characterize the effects of a continuous rate infusion of dextrose or dextrose and insulin on glucose and insulin dynamics in both healthy and endotoxin-exposed horses. ... -
Glucose and insulin dynamics in late gestation mares and neonatal foals
(Virginia Tech, 2007-05-03)Insulin sensitivity decreases during pregnancy, presumably an adaptation ensuring sufficient glucose supply to feto-placental tissues. Feeds high in non-structural carbohydrates are also linked to diminished insulin ... -
Glucose clearance studies in lactating cows: influence of stage of lactation and ration composition
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1982)Glucose pool size (PS), pool space (PV) and clearance rate (CR) vere determined for eight first-lactation Holstein cows at three lactation stages [early (E) = 75-100 days, late (L) = 205-250 days, and dry (D) ]. A corn ... -
Glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity at rest and during exercise in trained horses adapted to different dietary energy sources and in association with laminitis in ponies
(Virginia Tech, 2006-08-02)Glucose is a fundamental energy source, the utilization and regulation of which impacts exercise performance and health. These studies have used modeling techniques to evaluate glucose kinetics and dynamics in equids and ... -
Glucose Metabolism in Low Birth Weight Neonatal Pigs
(Virginia Tech, 2019-02-04)The neonatal period in mammals is characterized by high growth rates and is dominated by skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Low birth weight (LBWT) neonates experience restricted growth and development of skeletal muscle, leading ... -
Glucose regulation in Thoroughbred weanlings: Regulation by insulin, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I
(Virginia Tech, 2003-12-10)Diets rich in hydrolyzable carbohydrates induce a hyperglycemic/insulinemic response and may increase the incidence of metabolic disorders associated with some types of laminitis, exertional rhabdomyolysis and osteochondrosis ... -
Glucose tolerance, plasma insulin, and plasma glucagon in relation to obesity in chickens
(Virginia Tech, 1985-05-05)Relationships among glucose tolerance, plasma insulin, and plasma glucagon were examined in chicks developed through selection for high (HW) and low (LW) body weight, and in F, crosses (HL) between HW males and LW females. ... -
Glutathione Dynamics in Arabidopsis Seed Development and Germination
(Virginia Tech, 2004-12-09)Seed desiccation and germination have great potential for oxidative stress. Glutathione, one of the most abundant antioxidants in plant cells, is a crucial to the plant's defense mechanisms. To better understand glutathione's ... -
Glycemic Response in Thoroughbred Mares
(Virginia Tech, 2000-08-09)The objective of this study is to determine if fat as an energy source, and fiber in a pasture supplement will be beneficial when compared to a concentrate high in sugar and starch. In the first experiment, 12 pregnant ... -
Glycemic response to a peanut butter and cracker snack in noninsulin dependent diabetics and nondiabetics
(Virginia Tech, 1993-05-05)The purpose of this study was to observe and compare the blood glucose response of individuals with documented noninsulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) and controls after they consumed a peanut butter and cracker snack ...

Glycogen extraction from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum: structural and functional implications
(Virginia Tech, 2003-03-27)In this investigation, skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was purified from female Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g). SR samples were subjected to two different biochemical glycogen-extraction protocols. The results ... -
Glycolipids in mouse F9 teratocarcinoma cells: some changes associated with retinoic acid-induced differentiation
(Virginia Tech, 1991-01-15)To investigate the changes in glycolipid biosynthesis during early embryogenesis mouse F9 teratocarcinoma cells were induced to differentiate in vitro in the presence of retinoic acid. Control embryonal carcinoma cells ...

GNSS Hardware-In-The-Loop Formation and Tracking Control
(Virginia Tech, 2016-06-20)Formation and tracking control are critical for of today's vehicle applications in and this will be true for future vehicle technologies as well. Although the general function of these controls is for data collection and ... -
GNSS-based Spacecraft Formation Flying Simulation and Ionospheric Remote Sensing Applications
(Virginia Tech, 2017-05-08)The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is significantly advantageous to absolute and relative navigation for spacecraft formation flying. Ionospheric remote sensing, such as Total Electron Content (TEC) measurements ... -
Goal Framing to Encourage More Sustainable Engineering Design Decisions for the Built Environment Across Cultures
(Virginia Tech, 2019-07-03)The Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region is one of the fastest developing in the world, however, some of its countries are the slowest in implementing sustainable construction practices. One of these countries ... -
Goal Orientation and Training Transfer Initiation and Maintenance
(Virginia Tech, 2002-05-07)Despite successful learning in the training environment, acquired skills are often not translated back to the job. Past research on training transfer has tended to measure the construct inconsistently and often disregarded ... -
Goal Orientation: A test of competing models
(Virginia Tech, 2003-10-31)This research examined the validity of the 2-factor (e.g., Button, Mathieu, and Zajac, 1996) and 3-factor (e.g., VandeWalle, 1997) models of goal orientation. These models differ in specifying the dimensionality, measurement, ... -
Goal origin: effects of initial goal origin and shifts in origin on behavioral and subjective responses
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1987)Many previous studies have examined the effects of goal attributes on subsequent behavior and performance, with consistently positive findings. However, there are few studies of goal processes, i.e., how reactions to goal ...
