Cancer-associated malnutrition, cachexia and sarcopenia: the skeleton in the hospital closet 40 years later
Download2016-01-20
Ryan, Aoife M., Power, Derek G., Daly, Louise, Cushen, Samantha J., Ní Bhuachalla, Ēadaoin, Prado, Carla M.
An awareness of the importance of nutritional status in hospital settings began more than 40 years ago. Much has been learned since and has altered care. For the past 40 years several large studies have shown that cancer patients are amongst the most malnourished of all patient groups. Recently,...

Cardiomyocyte antihypertrophic effect of adipocyte tissue conditioned medium from rats and its abrogation by obesity is mediated by the leptin to adiponectin ratio
Download2016
Karmazyn, Morris, Proctor, Spencer D., Mangat, Rabban, Gan, Xiaohong T., Bairwa, Suresh C., Rajapurohitam, Venkatesh
White adipocytes are known to function as endocrine organs by secreting a plethora of bioactive adipokines which can regulate cardiac function including the development of hypertrophy. We determined whether adipose tissue conditioned medium (ATCM) generated from the epididymal regions of normal...

Changes in Bone Mineral Density in Patients With Non-dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Are Associated With Body Composition
Download2024-05-07
Montenegro, Julia, Klein, Marcia R.S.T., Prado, Carla M., Silva, Maria I.B.
Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and low bone mineral density (BMD) are highly prevalent and can co-exist. Parameters of mineral metabolism are associated with BMD in CKD, but other contributing factors may contribute. The aim of this study was to assess changes in BMD and its determinants...

Pereira, Leticia C. R., Elliott, Sarah A., McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C., Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: Energy metabolism is at the core of maintaining healthy body weights. Likewise, the assessment of energy needs is essential for providing adequate dietary advice. We explored differences in energy metabolism of a primigravid woman (age: 30 years) at 1 month prepregnancy (“baseline”),...

Changes in the rumen papillae during the periparturient transition in Holstein dairy cows are accompanied by changes in abundance of proteins involved in intracellular pH regulation, but not SCFA transport
Download2015
McBride, Brian W., Laarman, Anne H., Steele, Michael A., AlZahal, Ousama, Kleinberg, Adam
The objective of this study was to examine changes in SCFA transportcapacity in the rumen epithelium during the parturition transition period.Twelve pregnant, cannulated primiparous and multiparous cows were fed astandard Total Mixed Ration (TMR) for the duration of the dry period; aftercalving,...

Changes in the triacylglycerol content of flaxseeds during development using liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS)
Download2012
Zhao, Yan-Yan, Herchi, Wahid, Salah, H. B., Trabelsi, Hajer, Curtis, Jonathan M., Kallel, Hela, Boukhchina, Sadok
Changes in the composition of triacylglycerols (TAGs) of three varieties of flaxseeds (H52, O116 and P129) during development were investigated using non-aqueous reversed phase liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS). 17 species of...

Characterisation of bacterial microbiota of the vagina of dairy cows and isolation of pediocin-producing Pediococcus acidilactici
Download2013
Wang, Yvonne, Ambrose, Divakar J., Ametaj, Burim N., Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Uterine infections in dairy cows lower profitability of dairy operations. Infections of the reproductive tract are related to the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria during the first three weeks after parturition. However, alterations in the vaginal microbiota composition in the first...
