Mechanisms underlying fat loss in cancer are not well understood. Knowing the types of fat being lost from adipose tissue may help define interventions to circumvent wasting. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in adipokines and fatty acid composition between visceral adipose...

Analytical considerations and biology of milk conjugated linoleic acid synthesis in the bovine
DownloadSpring 2010
Biosynthesis of milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a component of milk fat with demonstrated health benefits, requires a dietary source of PUFA. Even with PUFA supplementation, milk CLA is highly variable. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying factors responsible for the variations in...

Are Sex and Estrogen Modulators of Sympathetic Vascular Control in Resting and Contracting Skeletal Muscle?
DownloadSpring 2018
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether sex and estrogen modulate sympathetic neurovascular control in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. This thesis also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of sex and estrogen on neurovascular control would be mediated by the signal...

Contraction-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction (sympatholysis) is enhanced in female compared with male rats. Acute pharmacological blockade of nitric oxide (NO) production abolished the sex difference in sympatholysis, indicating that NO-mediated sympatholysis is elevated in...

Mandatory folate fortification polices in North America have resulted in high levels of circulating folate in the population. At the same time, a trend toward increased energy intake and reduced energy expenditure has lead to an increased prevalence of obesity, characterized by an accumulation of...

The biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise remain elusive. Growing evidence suggests that white adipose tissue (WAT) is an important organ that exercise exerts beneficial effects on. The role of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in mediating WAT metabolism remains...

Adipose tissue plays an important role in the energetic balance, but it is also an important aspect of meat quality and animal productivity. However, the understanding on how fat metabolism is regulated in beef cattle is not clear. This research aimed at exploring how bovine adipose tissue is...

Ovarian endocrine function has a major impact on homeostatic mechanisms in the cardiovascular system in women. In particular, estrogens play an important role in the regulation of vascular function. Epidemiological and experimental evidence links increased risk for cardiovascular disease with...
