Glycomacropeptide from camel milk inhibits the adhesion of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 to porcine cells
Download2022-11-01
Althnaibat, Rami M., Koch, Mandy, Bruce, Heather L., Wefers, Daniel, Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a major cause of childhood diarrhoea and of diarrhoea in piglets and calves. This study compared the anti-adhesive activities against ETEC of glycomacropeptide (GMP) from Bactrian camels and dromedaries with that of bovine GMP. GMP was purified by ion...

Harnessing cross-species alignment to discover SNPs and generate a draft genome sequence of a bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
Download2015
Moore, Stephen S., Miller, Joshua M., Coltman, David W., Liao, Xiaoping, Stothard, Paul
Background Whole genome sequences (WGS) have proliferated as sequencing technology continues to improve and costs decline. While many WGS of model or domestic organisms have been produced, a growing number of non-model species are also being sequenced. In the absence of a reference, construction...

Intake of antioxidants through diet is known to be important in reducing oxidative damage in cells and improving human health. Although eggs are known for their exceptional, nutritional quality, they are not generally considered as antioxidant foods. This review aims to establish the importance...

Heterologous expression of flax PHOSPHOLIPID:DIACYLGLYCEROL CHOLINEPHOSPHOTRANSFERASE (PDCT) increases polyunsaturated fatty acid content in yeast and Arabidopsis seeds
Download2015
Weselake, Randall J., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Pan, Xue, Singer, Stacy D., Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Wickramarathna, Aruna D.
Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an agriculturally important crop with seed oil enriched in α-linolenic acid (18:3 cisΔ9, 12, 15; ALA). This polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is the major determinant for the quality of flax seed oil in food, nutraceuticals and industrial applications....

High adiposity is associated cross-sectionally with low self-concept and body size dissatisfaction among indigenous Cree schoolchildren in Canada
Download2013
Raine, Kim D., Ridley, Denise, Maximova, Katerina M., Willows, Noreen D.
Background Obesity and mental health problems are prevalent among indigenous children in Canada and the United States. In this cross-sectional study the associations between adiposity and body size satisfaction, body image and self-concept were examined in indigenous children in grades four to...

High grain diets perturb rumen and plasma metabolites and induce inflammatory responses in early lactation dairy cows
Download2007
Emmanuel, D.G.V., Shanthipoosan, S., Ametaj, B.N.
Immediately after parturition dairy cows are fed diets containing high proportions of grain which are associated with high incidence of metabolic disorders. However, the reason behind these effects is not clear. The goal of this study was to investigate metabolic and immune responses of early...

High-fructose feeding of streptozotocin-diabetic rats is associated with increased cataract formation and increased oxidative stress in the kidney
Download2000
Sivak, J. , Storr, K. C., Carlson, J. C., Bell, R. C., Herbert, K.
We examined the effects of high-fructose (FR) feeding on the development of diabetic complications in the lens and the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male Wistar Furth rats were treated with one of two doses of STZ (HIGH STZ, 55 mg/kg body weight; MOD STZ, 35 mg/kg body weight) or...

High-performance variants of plant diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 generated by directed evolution provide insights into structure function
Download2017-09-10
Chen, Guanqun, Vanhercke, Thomas, Chen, Yongyan, Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Niesner, Nathalie, Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Weselake, Randall J., El Tahchy, Anna
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, the predominant component of seed oil. In some oil crops, including Brassica napus, the level of DGAT1 activity can have a substantial effect on triacylglycerol production....

Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Weselake, Randall J.
Neutral lipids are ubiquitously found in nature, serving primarily as energy storage compounds. The ability to control the rate of neutral lipid bioassembly is of particular interest in numerous applications. For example, restriction of triacylglycerol and steryl ester synthesis in mammals could...
