Litter birth weight phenotype and maternal n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pigs
DownloadSpring 2013
Research reported in this thesis investigated effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation, litter birth weight phenotype, and their possible interactions, on reproductive performance of the gilt and sow and postnatal performance of the litter. In an initial study, LCPUFA...

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...

Maternal Essential Fatty Acid Status During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study and Infant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) acids are essential fatty acids found in breast milk and are important for the infant’s brain development and cognitive functions such as those that regulate sleep and crying. The overall goal of this research was to use a large maternal infant cohort,...

New Insight into the Role of Myocardial Fatty Acid Uptake and Utilization in Health and Disease
DownloadFall 2013
All mammalian cells rely on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to maintain function and for survival. The heart has the highest basal ATP demand of any organ due to the necessity for continuous contraction. As such, the ability of the cardiomyocyte to monitor cellular energy status and adapt the supply...

Spring 2013
Diastolic dysfunction is the primary cause of 40–50% of all heart failure cases and is a contributing factor in many cardiac conditions, resulting from delayed or slowed muscle relaxation, increased stiffness of the relaxed heart or from poor systolic function which reduces the elastic recoil of...

Regulation of Anti-tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Interaction of Exosome Immune Complexes with Fc gamma Receptors
DownloadSpring 2019
Targeted therapy is difficult for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to lack of conserved tumor associated antigens (TAA). Immunotherapies for CRC directed at TAA that can overcome intestinal tolerance need to be developed to improve survival of CRC patients. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted...
