Objectives. The objectives were to document the prevalence of maternal anxiety about food supply in Cree women who had 9-month-old infants, and to understand maternal and infant characteristics associated with anxiety. Study Design. The design was descriptive and combined both cross-sectional and...

Arabidopsis GPAT9 contributes to synthesis of intracellular glycerolipids but not surface lipids
Download2016
Jayawardhane, Kethmi, Tomasi, Pernell, Dyer, John M., Weselake, Randall J., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE ACYLTRANSFERASE (GPAT) genes encode enzymes involved in glycerolipid biosynthesis in plants. Ten GPAT homologues have been identified in Arabidopsis. GPATs 4–8 have been shown to be involved in the production of extracellular lipid barrier polyesters. Recently, GPAT9 was...

Arterial retention of remnant lipoproteins ex-vivo is increased during insulin resistance due to increased arterial biglycan and production of cholesterol-rich atherogenic particles, that can be improved by ezetimibe in the JCR:LA-cp rat

Russell, James C., Proctor, Spencer D., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Vine, Donna F., Mangat, Rabban, Hassanali, Zahra, Cheeseman, Christopher I., Borthwick, Faye, Warnakula, Samantha
Background Literature supports the “response-to-retention” hypothesis—that during insulin resistance, impaired metabolism of remnant lipoproteins can contribute to accelerated cardiovascular disease progression. We used the JCR:LA-cp rat model of metabolic syndrome (MetS) to determine the extent...

Assessing the effects of weather conditions on physical activity participation using objective measures
Download2009
Chan, Catherine B., Ryan, Daniel A.
Habitual physical activity is an important determinant of health, yet many people are considered to be inactive. Identification of the obstacles to greater participation is necessary for the development of strategies to overcome those obstacles. The weather has been identified as a perceived...

Assessment of pre-pregnancy dietary intake with a food frequency questionnaire in Alberta women
Download2015
Berglund, Casey, Ramage, Stephanie M., Harber, Vicki, McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C.
Purpose: Pre-pregnancy is an under-examined and potentially important time to optimize dietary intake to support fetal growth and development as well as maternal health. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which dietary intake reported by non-pregnant women is similar to...

Assessment of the mechanisms exerting glucose-lowering effects of dried peas in glucose-intolerant rats
Download2012
Jin, Alena, Field, Catherine J., Yee, Homun, Kozicky, Lisa, Morris, Jill, Chan, Catherine B., Bell, Rhonda C., Ha, Christine, Whitlock, Kevin A., Ozga, Jocelyn A.
The present study compared the effects of feeding uncooked pea fractions (embryo v. seed coat) on glucose homeostasis in glucose-intolerant rats and examined potential mechanisms influencing glucose homeostasis. Rats were made glucose intolerant by high-fat feeding, after which diets containing...

Associations among the food environment diet quality and weight status in Cree children in Québec
Download2009
Raine, Kim D., Willows, Noreen D., Marshall, Dru, McCargar, Linda J., Arnold, Amber, Downs, Shauna M.
To explore the relationship among children’s diet quality, weight status and food environment in subarctic Canada. In the cross-sectional study, children’s BMI was calculated, diet quality was assessed using three 24 h dietary recalls and children were asked about their home food environment and...

Associations between self-reported weight history and sarcopenic obesity in adults with knee osteoarthritis
Download2021-01-24
Godziuk, Kristine, Prado, Carla M., Woodhouse, Linda J., Forhan, Mary
Objective: Examine associations between self-reported weight history and sarcopenic obesity in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Self-reported weight history was collected from n=151 adults (58.9% female) with knee OA and a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 in a...

Bacillus species in food fermentations: An underappreciated group of organisms for safe use in food fermentations
Download2023-04-01
Li, Zhen, Zheng, Mengzhou, Zheng, Jinshui, Gänzle, Michael G.
Fermented foods are consumed throughout the world and substantially contribute to food security. Many fermented products rely on the participation of Bacillus species, but their contribution to food quality is not well documented. The purpose of this review is to highlight metabolic properties...
