A Nutritional Perspective of Ketogenic Diet in Cancer: A Narrative Review
2018-04-01
Oliveira, Camila L. P., Mattingly, Stephanie, Schirrmacher, Ralf, Sawyer, Michael B., Fine, Eugene J., Prado, Carla M.
The predominant use of glucose anaerobically by cancer cells (Warburg effect) may be the most important characteristic the majority of these cells have in common and, therefore, a potential metabolic pathway to be targeted during cancer treatment. Because this effect relates to fuel oxidation,...

A simple procedure to secure an indwelling jugular vein catheter to the neck of cattle for repeated blood sampling
Download2001
MacLean, Melissa A., Zalkovic, Pavol, Ambrose, Divakar J.
Abstract A procedure to secure a jugular vein catheter system to the neck of cattle is described. A wide-mouthed polypropylene bottle attached to a halter strap provided a secure container for the catheter. This device allowed convenient access to the catheter for repeated sampling and,...

A systematic review on the effect of sweeteners on glycemic response and clinically relevant outcomes
Download2011
Wiebe, Natasha, Jacobs, Rene, Marks, Seth, Padwal, Raj, Field, Catherine J., Tonelli, Marcello
Background The major metabolic complications of obesity and type 2 diabetes may be prevented and managed with dietary modification. The use of sweeteners that provide little or no calories may help to achieve this objective. Methods We did a systematic review and network meta-analysis of the...
