The maternal diet during pregnancy programs altered expression of the glucocorticoid receptor and type 2 11ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase: potential molecular mechanisms underlying the programming of hypertension in utero
No full textPotential mechanisms underlying prenatal programming of hypertension in adult life were investigated using a rat model in which maternal protein intake was restricted to 9% vs. 18% casein (control) during pregnancy. Maternal low protein (MLP) offspring exhibit glucocorticoid-dependent raised systolic blood pressure throughout life (20–30 mm Hg above the control). To determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of alterations in glucocorticoid hormone action in the prenatal programming of hypertension in MLP offspring, tissues were analyzed for expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), 11ßHSD1, 11ßHSD2, and corticosteroid-responsive Na/K-adenosine triphosphatase 1 and ß1. GR protein (95 kDa) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in kidney, liver, lung, and brain was more than 2-fold greater in MLP vs. control offspring during fetal and neonatal life and was more than 3-fold higher during subsequent juvenile and adult life (P < 0.01). This was associated with increased levels of Na/K-adenosine triphosphatase 1- and ß1-subunit mRNA expression. Levels of MR gene expression remained unchanged. Exposure to the MLP diet also resulted in markedly reduced levels of 11ßHSD2 expression in the MLP placenta on days 14 and 20 of gestation (P < 0.001), underpinning similar effects on 11ßHSD2 enzyme activity that we reported previously. Levels were also markedly reduced in the kidney and adrenal of MLP offspring during fetal and postnatal life (P < 0.001). This programmed decline in 11ßHSD2 probably contributes to marked increases in glucocorticoid hormone action in these tissues and potentiates both GR- and MR-mediated induction of raised blood pressure. In contrast, levels of 11ßHSD1 mRNA expression in offspring central and peripheral tissues remained unchanged. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that mild protein restriction during pregnancy programs tissue-specific increases in glucocorticoid hormone action that are mediated by persistently elevated expression of GR and decreased expression of 11ßHSD2 during adult life. As glucocorticoids are potent regulators not only of fetal growth but also of blood pressure, our data suggest important potential molecular mechanisms contributing to the prenatal programming of hypertension by maternal undernutrition in the rat. <br/

Model-theoretic properties of the m-c.e. degrees
No full textIn this article, we investigate model-theoretic properties of various Turing degree structures in the hierarchy of Δ 0 2-sets which is well known in the literature as Ershov Hierarchy. In particular, questions of definability of m-c.e. degrees in the structure of n-c.e. degrees, where m<n, elementary equivalences, extendability of partial order extensions are considered. © 2010 The Author.

Reliable methods for predicting the sound from clustered rocket engines
No full textHigh area ratio rocket engines generate strong vibro-acoustic loads primarily during transient operations, like start-up and shut-down of the engine. These loads can adversely affect the launch vehicle and its payload. Thus, an accurate prediction of the loads produced during engine start-up is pertinent to the safety and reliability of the launch vehicle. The present work focuses on developing a robust framework for predicting these loads using laboratory scale rocket nozzles tested in the fully anechoic chamber at The Uni- versity of Texas at Austin. This encompasses corrections for the observer position relative to the prominent source region, as well as scaling factors to correct for geometric factors. The test campaign encompasses single, two, three and four nozzle clusters, as well as differences in nozzle geometry and operating conditions (nozzle pressure ratio)
