Environmental particulate matter induces murine intestinal inflammatory responses and alters the gut microbiome
Download2013-01-01
Thiesen, Aducio, Rioux, Kevin P., Tso, Robert, Kish, Lisa, Barkema, Herman W., Madsen, Karen L., Vincent, Renaud, Wine, Eytan, Kaplan, Gilaad G., Hotte, Naomi, Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Particulate matter (PM) is a key pollutant in ambient air that has been associated with negative health conditions in urban environments. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of orally administered PM on the gut microbiome and immune function under normal and inflammatory...

Feeding long chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids to obese leptin receptor deficient JCR:LA-cp rats modifies immune function and lipid raft fatty acid composition
Download2009
Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D.
Dietary EPA and DHA modulate immunity and thereby may improve the aberrant immune function in obese states. To determine the effects of feeding fish oil (FO) containing EPA and DHA on splenocyte phospholipid (PL) and lipid-raft fatty acid composition, phenotypes and cytokine production,...

High fructose intake during pregnancy adversely affects insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and affects placental gene expression of nutrient transporters and angiogenesis in rat dams and their pregnant offspring
DownloadSpring 2017
Fructose intake has increased over the past several decades due to high consumption of sugary foods and drinks. In non-pregnant humans and animals, high fructose intake results in hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and weight gain, although its effects on metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and on...

Innate immunity and carbohydrate metabolism alterations precede occurrence of subclinical mastitis in transition dairy cows
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Dunn, Suzana M., Zhang, Guanshi, Ametaj, Burim N., Hailemariam, Dagnachew
Background This study examined whether activation of innate immunity and alterations of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism precede development of subclinical mastitis (SCM). Methods Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vein from 100 Holstein dairy cows at -8, -4, disease diagnosis week,...

Intravaginal lactic acid bacteria modulated local and systemic immune responses and lowered the incidence of uterine infections in periparturient dairy cows
Download2015
Dunn, Suzanna M., Odhiambo, John F., Farooq, Umar, Ametaj, Burim N., Lam, Tran, Deng, Qilan
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocktail around parturition could influence the immune response, incidence rate of uterine infections, and the overall health status of periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant...
