A Week on Oil Creek

Up a chemical creek.

mycin and roxithromycin (RXM) have an anti-inflammatory effect that may account for their clinical benefit in the treatment of chronic airway inflammatory diseases. However, the precise mechanism of this anti-inflammatory effect is not well understood. Purpose : The influence of RXM on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 production from neutrophils in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulati...

Depositional Environments of Oil Shale in the Green River Formation, Douglas Creek Arch, Colorado and Utah

Douglas Creek arch in western Colorado and eastern Utah separates the Uinta and Piceance Creek basins. During deposition of the lower part of the Eocene Green River Formation, the arch provided a physical barrier dividing ancient Lake Uinta into two segments. As the lake expanded, the arch became a shoal area where marginal-lacustrine and mud flat sediment was deposited. Near the end of Green R...

Expression and Sequence Variants of Inflammatory Genes; Effects on Plasma Inflammation Biomarkers Following a 6-Week Supplementation with Fish Oil.

(1) BACKGROUND: A growing body of literature suggest that polymorphisms (SNPs) from inflammation-related genes could possibly play a role in cytokine production and then interact with dietary n-3 fatty acids (FAs) to modulate inflammation. The aim of the present study was to test whether gene expression of selected inflammatory genes was altered following an n-3 PUFA supplementation and to test...

Sleep and health in oil rig workers--before and after a two week work period offshore.

This study compared subjective sleep and subjective health complaints among Norwegian oil rig workers, before and after a two week work period. The study also compared differences between two different work schedules. The workers worked either two weeks of day shift (n=90) or two weeks of a swing shift schedule (n=93), involving one week of night shifts, immediately followed by one week of day ...
