Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Fiber-type proportions and diameters in the longissimus muscle of beef heifers undergoing catch-up (compensatory) growth
Download1991
Fifty-three Hereford crossbred heifers (211 ± 28(mean ± SD) kg, 197 ± 13 d of age at day 1) were used to study the effects of mild, chronic feed restriction followed by refeeding on some longissimus muscle fiber characteristics. Five animals were slaughtered on day 1 for analysis of initial...

Investigating Primary Biliary Cholangitis for a Human Betaretrovirus Superantigen signature
DownloadSpring 2022
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an idiopathic autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small hepatic bile ducts and presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). A Human Betaretrovirus (HBRV) sharing 91-99% sequence similarity with the Mouse Mammary Tumor virus has been...

Investigation of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis using stable isotopes in type 1 diabetes, liver failure, islet and liver transplant, and effect of dietary intervention
DownloadSpring 2011
Elevated plasma lipids are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In certain conditions plasma lipids are normal yet individuals experience increased morbidity. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with elevated CVD despite normal lipids, while in liver failure low plasma lipids may...
