J-Coupling Effects on Quantification of the 1.3 ppm Lipid Methylene Resonance with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3 T
DownloadFall 2015
Quantification of 1.3 ppm lipid methylene protons by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been shown to be relevant to a number of diseases. Additionally, T2 estimation of 1.3 ppm methylene protons has been used to grade the metastatic potential of colon tumours. J-coupling...

Liu, Juan, Young, T. Kue, Zinman, Bernard, Harris, Stewart B., Connelly, Philip W., Hanle, Anthony J.G.
"Objective: To examine lifestyle factors associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to explore the relationships between MetS and non‐traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors [adiponectin, leptin, C‐reactive protein (CRP), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and serum amyloid A (SAA)] in an isolated...

Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and cognitive symptoms. In HD patients, the protein huntingtin contains an abnormal expansion of a polyglutamine tract, which leads to the selective dysfunction and death of striatal and cortical neurons. Among other...

Protein silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising treatment strategy for cancer as over-expression of proteins is largely responsible for cancer cells’ infinite proliferation, evasion of cell death and multi-drug resistance. However, siRNAs require a carrier as their biological...

Long-term cardiovascular and metabolic effects of hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restriction
DownloadSpring 2011
Rueda-Clausen, Christian Federico
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are still the primary cause of death and disability in modern society. Although genetic factors play a fundamental role in the development of these chronic conditions, the remarkable variability in an individual’s susceptibility to develop these pathologies...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Abnormal levels of circulating lipids (dyslipidemia) is a well-known risk factor for CVD. Traditionally, fasting lipids, inclusive of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC), have...

Milk-derived tripeptides IPP (Ile-Pro-Pro) and VPP (Val-Pro-Pro) promote adipocyte differentiation and inhibit inflammation in 3T3-F442A cells
Download2015
Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Wu, Jianping
Milk derived tripeptides IPP (Ile-Pro-Pro) and VPP (Val-Pro-Pro) have shown promise as anti-hypertensive agents due to their inhibitory effects on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Due to the key inter-related roles of hypertension, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance in the...
