Blood Glucose-attenuating Effects of Pea-derived Fractions: Exploration of Mechanisms of Action in a Rat Model of Glucose Intolerance
DownloadFall 2015
Pulses, including dried peas, are nutrient-dense foods rich in fibre that have shown efficacy in improving glucose control in diabetic subjects. The seed coats, in spite of being the highly fibrous part, are sometimes discarded as a food-processing by-product. We hypothesized that supplementing...

Characterization of a novel model of intestinal lipoprotein overproduction and the impact of N-3 PUFA supplementation
DownloadFall 2009
Overproduction of intestinal chylomicrons (CM) has been proposed to contribute to fasting and post-prandial (PP) dyslipidemia and may accelerate the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) during obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes. However, the impact of morphological changes in...

COMPARISON OF CHEESE, YOGURT, AND MILK EFFECTS ON GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND LIVER LIPID ACCUMULATION IN MICE FED HIGH-FAT DIET
DownloadSpring 2022
Abstract Background: Many human observational studies show an inverse or neutral association between dairy consumption and the risk of diabetes. Our lab’s previous work suggests that both low and high-fat cheese consumption improves glucose homeostasis in insulin-resistant (IR), prediabetic rats....

One third of all deaths in Canada are due to cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure. Cardiovascular diseases have a considerable economic burden, and drastically impact the health and quality of life of Canadians. Heart failure (HF) is a clinical condition where the heart is unable to...

Effect of gastric bypass and gastric banding on lipid absorption and their influence on glucose metabolism
DownloadFall 2011
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) leads to sustainable weight loss and resolution of hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes in obese patients. Its hypolipidemic effect is presumed to be based on fat malabsorption. Comparison of lipid absorption and insulin resistance following RYGB with adjustable...

Effect of Regular Dietary Consumption of Beans or Peas on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure in Men and Women with Mild Hypercholesterolemia
DownloadSpring 2015
Pulse consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on heart health. In this randomized controlled trial, 51 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia were randomly assigned to consume study food items containing ¾ cup beans, peas, or rice (control) per day, 5 days per week for 6...

Spring 2021
Lifestyle modifications that induce energy deficit, such as diet and physical activity are considered the cornerstone of weight management. The overall purpose of this research was to compare the effects of an acute nutritional intervention comprised of a high-protein (HP) diet replacement versus...

Effects of Egg White Derived Peptides on Metabolic Syndrome Complications: Hypertension, Inflammation, and Insulin resistance
DownloadSpring 2018
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of several abnormalities of hypertension, inflammation, glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia, enhances a personâs risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The number of people with MetS is increasing largely worldwide. The multi-faceted nature of...
