Fall 2009
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) belongs to a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) which affect many species. From 1986 more than 184,000 cattle in the UK have been confirmed to be infected with this disease, and in Canada total...

Fall 2009
β-Glucan is a soluble fibre shown to help regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol. Incorporation into food, particularly bread, may affect β-glucan’s physicochemical properties and health benefits. The journey of β-glucan through the mixing, fermenting, baking, and storage of bread was...

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...

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...

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...

Biochemical and Functional Characterization of Inhibitory Leukocyte Immune-Type Receptors in the Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
DownloadSpring 2013
Montgomery, Benjamin Christian Sivert
A balance of intracellular signaling events control immune cell functions. In innate immunity, many of these signals are transmitted by subsets of cell surface proteins known as immunoregulatory receptors. Through their recognition of a diverse array of molecules these receptors effectively...

Fall 2013
In response to pathogens, immune cells induce protective effector functions, such as degranulation, phagocytosis and cytokine secretion, which are initiated by stimulatory or inhibitory immunoregulatory receptors expressed on leukocytes. Using a fish immunological model system, the focus of my...

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...

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...

Spring 2014
The fine balance struck between life and death is key for the health of all multicellular organisms and therefore the pathways that govern life and death decisions are evolutionarily highly conserved. For example, the human TNF and the Drosophila IMD pathways coordinate signaling elements such...
