Improving chemotherapeutic regimens by mitigating hearing loss as a limiting side-effect and examining transition metal ions as a ligand for zebrafish Tlr4
DownloadFall 2023
Cancer is often a debilitating disease associated with the uncontrolled growth of cells within an organism. We have made significant strides over the past few decades in treating many cancers, unfortunately, many of these treatments have unfavourable side effects. Cisplatin is a revolutionary...

Magazine Images Depicting the Ideal Fit Male Body: An Outlet for Influencing Body Perceptions and Exercise Related Cognitions
DownloadFall 2012
This study examined the effects of viewing health/fitness and sports magazine images on body perceptions and exercise related cognitions in males. The moderating effects of age were also examined. A series of 3 (image-only, magazine cover, control) by 3 (youngest, middle, oldest) ANOVA analyses...

Monitoring Macrophage Immune Gene Expression Profiles as an Early Indicator System for Examining the Bioactivity of Oil Sands Process Affected Waters
DownloadFall 2021
Oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) are by-products of bitumen (i.e. oil) extraction from the oil sands located in northern Alberta. These large volumes of water are held in tailings ponds and cannot be released due to their potential toxic effects. Overall, tailings ponds and mining...

Fall 2013
Nutritional strategies to mitigate the loss of broiler performance due to the elimination of prophylactic antibiotics were investigated, consisting of two nutrient density starter diets (HIGH: 3,025 kcal/kg and 23.9% CP; LOW: 2,858 kcal/kg and 22.3% CP), 25-OH-D3 (0 or 69 µg/kg), and bacitracin...

Physicochemical properties and microencapsulation process development for fish oil using supercritical carbon dioxide
DownloadSpring 2010
Fish oil is an excellent source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in addition to other health benefits. However, the average intake of LC-PUFA in the Western diet is much lower than the recommended levels. Fish oil is prone to...

The innate immune system is an evolutionarily conserved first line of defense against invasive microbes. Studies in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, revolutionized the field of immunology and cemented Drosophila as a premier model of innate immune defenses. The Drosophila immune deficiency...

The effect of maternal antioxidant nutrient supplementation and age on chick post-hatch innate immune function
DownloadSpring 2013
The chick’s innate immune system may affect post-hatch liveability and performance, but is immature at hatch. The development of the immune system begins in ovo and may be affected by hen age and nutrition. Antioxidants are molecules capable of preventing and correcting oxidative damage and may...

The effects of broiler breeder diet supplementation of canthaxanthin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and age on offspring performance traits and innate immune function
DownloadSpring 2018
Experiments were conducted to understand the effect of dietary canthaxanthin (CXN) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) on broiler breeder productivity, progeny performance traits and progeny innate immune function. Beginning at 22 wk of age, breeder hens were fed either 1) Control (Vitamin D3 at...
