Enhanced biomethane recovery from fat, oil, and grease through co-digestion with food waste and addition of conductive materials
DownloadSpring 2020
In this study, the effect of conductive additives on co-digestion of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) and food waste (FW) was evaluated. Initially, the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test was conducted for the optimization of the mixing ratio of FW and FOG. The optimal methane production (800 L...

Fat Unsaturation Quantification, Including ω-3 Measures, with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2021
Fat composition is relevant to disease and can be assessed non-invasively using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). MRS studies do not usually account for the ω-3 (omega-3) fat content because of its low prevalence in human adipose tissue (≈ 1 %) and because the ω-3 (≈ 1.0 ppm) and non-ω-3 (≈...

Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase Cleaves Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor to Regulate Lipid Metabolism
DownloadFall 2022
Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediates clearance of plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and protects against the development of atherosclerosis. Our previous studies demonstrated that membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP/MMP14) cleaves LDL receptor (LDLR) and exacerbates the...
