Frederick, Jeanne M.; Thulin, Craig; Bernstein, Paul S. | Identification and characterization of a Pi isoform of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) as a zeaxanthin-binding protein in the macula of the human eye | Uptake, metabolism, and stabilization of xanthophyll carotenoids in the retina are thought to be mediated by specific xanthophyll-binding proteins (XBPs). A membrane-associated XBP was purified from human macula using ion-exchange chromatography followed by gel-exclusion chromatography. Two-dimensio... | Circular Dichroism; Isoelectric Focusing; Macula Lutea; Xanthophylls | 2004 |

Blumenthal, Donald K. | In vivo evaluation of the delivery and efficacy of a sirolimus-laden polymer gel for inhibition of hyperplasia in a porcine model of arteriovenous hemodialysis graft stenosis | Synthetic arteriovenous (AV) hemodialysis grafts are plagued by hyperplasia resulting in occlusion and graft failure yet there are no clinically available preventative treatments. Here the delivery and degradation of a sirolimus-laden polymer gel were monitored in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging ... | | 2012-01-01 |

Bernstein, Paul S. | HPLC measurement of ocular carotenoid levels in human donor eyes in the lutein supplementation era. | PURPOSE: A substantial proportion of the population at risk for visual loss from age-related macular degeneration consumes supplements containing high doses of lutein, but clinical studies to date have shown only modest and variable increases in macular carotenoid pigments in response to supplementa... | Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Dietary Supplements; Tissue Donors | 2007-02 |

Blumenthal, Donald K. | Identification of the calmodulin-binding domain of skeletal muscle myosin light | In the course of determining the primary structure of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK; ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) a peptide fragment was obtained that appears to represent the calmodulin-binding domain of this enzyme. Low concentrations of the peptide inhibit... | Peptides; Enzymes; Protein sequence | 1985-05 |

Keefe, Kristen A. | Changes in neural circuitry regulating response-reversal learning and Arc-mediated consolidation of learning in rats with methamphetamine-induced partial monoamine loss | Methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity results in long-lasting depletions of monoamines and changes in basal ganglia function. We previously reported that rats with methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity no longer engage dorsomedial striatum during a response reversal-learning task, as their performan... | | 2014-01-01 |

Askew, Eldon W.; Bernstein, Paul S. | Serum and macular responses to antioxidant supplementation verus a carotenoid-rich dietary intervention in the elderly. | The aim of this study was to observe responses of serum antioxidants, oxidative stress biomarkers, and macular carotenoid pigments to antioxidant supplements or dietary intervention in a single-masked, randomized, pilot clinical study of elderly subjects receiving antioxidant supplements or a dietar... | Macula; Serum Carotenoids; Zeaxanthin | 2006-02-01 |

Blumenthal, Donald K. | Characterization of the calmodulin-binding and catalytic domains in skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase. | Limited proteolysis has been utilized to study the structural organization of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase. The enzyme (Mr approximately 89,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) consists of an amino-terminal, protease-susceptible region of unidentified... | Enzymology; Skeletal Muscle; Proteolysis, Peptide Fragments | 1995-09-15 |

Bernstein, Paul S.; Gellermann, Werner | Nonmydriatic fluorescence-based quantitative imaging of human macular pigment distributions. | We have developed a CCD-camera-based nonmydriatic instrument that detects fluorescence from retinal lipofuscin chromophores ("autofluorescence") as a means to indirectly quantify and spatially image the distribution of macular pigment (MP). The lipofuscin fluorescence intensity is reduced at all ret... | Cytology; Sensitivity and Specificity | 2006-10 |
