Profiling the Bacterial and Fungal Gut Microbiome of Children with and without Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
DownloadFall 2020
Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease that has a large array of direct (e.g. altered metabolic and inflammatory profile) and indirect (e.g. mental health concerns etc.) consequences on health and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most...

Promoter Polymorphism in PCK1 (Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Gene) Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Download2004-02-01
Cao, Henian, van der Veer, Eric, Ban, Matthew R., Hanley, Anthony J.G., Zinman, Bernard, Harris, S. B., Young, T. Kue, Pickering, J. Geoffrey, Hegele, Robert A.
"We sequenced the promoter and coding regions of PCK1 encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from genomic DNA of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We found nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were present with varying allele frequencies and pairwise linkage...

Protein Kinase Mediated Regulation of the Na+/H+ Exchanger in the Rat Myocardium by MAP-Kinase-dependent Pathways
Download1999-01-01
Moor, Andrea Noor, Fliegel, Larry
We examined regulation of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 by phosphorylation in the rat myocardium. We utilized cell extracts from adult rat hearts, adult rat extracts fractionated by fast performance liquid chromatography, and extracts from cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes. The...

Regulation of microtubule dynamics is essential for many cellular processes, including proper assembly and function of the mitotic spindle. One mechanism for temporal and spatial regulation of microtubule dynamics is provided by the kinesin-13 microtubule depolymerizing enzymes, among which MCAK...

Regulation of Cardiac Gap Junctional Communication: Metabolic regulation of Cx40 and Cx43 via phosphorylation
DownloadFall 2015
Alterations in myocardial metabolism and cardiac electrophysiology associated with structural heart disease generate lethal arrhythmias. Differential levels of energy (ATP) supply and demand are generated with structural heart disease that is expected to activate 5’-amp activated protein kinase...

Rho-Kinase-Mediated Diphosphorylation of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain is a Unique Biochemical Mechanism in Human Uterine Myocytes
DownloadFall 2011
Rationale: Smooth muscle (SM) contraction results from activation of the cellular contractile machinery by phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) at S19 (pRLC) by RLC kinase (MLCK). Subsequent phosphorylation at T18 yields diphosphorylated-RLC (ppRLC), which has been shown to...

"Background: In Canada, the prevalence of behavioural risk factors and chronic conditions differs for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations, but little research has examined changes over time. This study compares several major risk factors and chronic conditions in Aboriginal and...

Cardiac Fatty acids β-oxidation (FAO) markedly increases during maturation and become the major source of energy for the adult heart. However, excessive rates of FAO can compromise cardiac function in obesity, diabetes, and heart failure. Lysine acetylation has recently been identified as a...
