Altered ganglioside metabolism in inflammatory bowel disease and the impact of dietary ganglioside intake
DownloadFall 2014
Gangliosides are integral to the structure and function of the plasma membrane. Ganglioside composition of the small intestinal brush border membrane and apical surface of the colon influence numerous cell processes including microbial attachment, cell division, differentiation, and signaling....

Assessment of food accessibility, availability and adherence to dietary recommendations among diabetic older adults living in subsidized retirement homes
DownloadSpring 2012
The availability and accessibility of healthy foods for type 2 diabetes patients may limit their food choices and adherence to dietary recommendations. The accessibility and availability of food for low-income, diabetic, older adults was evaluated. Information was gathered regarding self-care...

Comparative isolation of bacteria from inflamed sites to identify inflammation-tailored bacteria
DownloadSpring 2021
Microbial culture collections are fundamental to microbiology research. However, with the advent of next generation sequencing research, the generation and maintenance of comprehensive culture collections has become deprioritized. As such a need exists for the improved isolation of diverse...

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...

Feeding high oleic acid Canola oil or olive oil alters inflammation, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in a rodent model of diet induced obesity
DownloadFall 2011
To determine the efficacy of feeding monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) via a high MUFA Canola oil on T2D risk factors diet induced obese rats were fed either a low fat diet (LF), a high fat low MUFA diet (HF), a high fat high MUFA olive oil diet (OO), or a high fat high MUFA Canola oil diet...

In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

Long-term Impacts of Early Life Antibiotic Exposure on Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolic Disease
DownloadFall 2015
Although genetic factors, diet choices and sedentary lifestyle have long been considered main risk contributors for obesity and diabetes mellitus, years of study show that these factors cannot fully explain the increasing rate of worldwide metabolic disease. Epidemiological studies in recent...
