A prepartum diet supplemented with oilseeds high in oleic or linoleic acid reduced GnRH-induced LH release in dairy cows during second week postpartum
Download2015
Ambrose, Divakar J., Salehi, Reza, Oba, Masahito, Colazo, Marcos G.
Background The objective was to determine the effect of prepartum diets supplemented with rolled canola seed (high in oleic acid) or sunflower seed (high in linoleic acid) on luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced LH release during early postpartum....

A randomized, controlled trial of ginseng consumption on the immune response to a moderate exercise stress protocol in non-athletic women
Download2010
McCargar, Linda J., Harber, Vicki J., Field, Catherine J., Biondo, Patricia D.
Background: Ginseng is a popular herbal remedy that has been proposed to increase resistance to stress and enhance immune function. Regular moderate exercise results in an acute physiological stress that affects immune function. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of...

A simple procedure to secure an indwelling jugular vein catheter to the neck of cattle for repeated blood sampling
Download2001
MacLean, Melissa A., Zalkovic, Pavol, Ambrose, Divakar J.
Abstract A procedure to secure a jugular vein catheter system to the neck of cattle is described. A wide-mouthed polypropylene bottle attached to a halter strap provided a secure container for the catheter. This device allowed convenient access to the catheter for repeated sampling and,...

A systematic review on the effect of sweeteners on glycemic response and clinically relevant outcomes
Download2011
Wiebe, Natasha, Jacobs, Rene, Marks, Seth, Padwal, Raj, Field, Catherine J., Tonelli, Marcello
Background The major metabolic complications of obesity and type 2 diabetes may be prevented and managed with dietary modification. The use of sweeteners that provide little or no calories may help to achieve this objective. Methods We did a systematic review and network meta-analysis of the...

Ability of Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Metabolic Health among Patients in Alberta: A Cross-sectional Study in Primary Care
Download2023-03-08
Ghosh, Sunita, Purcell, Sarah A., Martin, Ken, Lima, Isac, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose: This study compared anthropometric and body fat percent (BF%) equations in relation to measures of metabolic health. Methods: BF% calculations (Bergman, Fels, and Woolcott) and anthropometric measurements were used to determine obesity among a sample of patients attending primary care in...

Acculturation, dietary acceptability and diabetes management among Chinese in North America
Download2013
Zhang, Anran, Chan, Catherine B., Deng, Feiyue
Immigrants to a new country face many challenges when diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease with a complex treatment involving both medical and behavioral interventions. These challenges will depend upon the extent to which the patient has adapted to the new country’s social and...

Activation of transcription factor Nrf2 signalling by the sphingosine kinase inhibitor SKI-II is mediated by the formation of Keap1 dimers
Download2014
Ueda, Keitaro, Ito, Kazuhiro, Kimura, Genki, Moses, Audric, Xiong, Yeping, Kizawa, Yasuo, Curtis, Jonathan M., Barnes, Peter J., Mercado, Nicolas
Anti-oxidant capacity is crucial defence against environmental or endogenous oxidative stress. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor that plays a key defensive role against oxidative and cytotoxic stress and cellular senescence. However, Nrf2...

Acyl-CoA-binding and self-associating properties of a recombinant 13.3 kDa N-terminal fragment of diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 from oilseed rape
Download2006
Nykiforuk, Cory L., Szarka, Steve J., Laroche, André, Mosimann, Steven C., Burton, Tracy L., Thibault, Benjamin J., Boora, Parveen S., Madhavji, Milan, Foroud, Nora A., Moloney, Maurice M., Wiehler, William B., Patterson, Nii A., Weselake, Randall J., Furukawa-Stoffer, Tara L.
Background Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1, 2-diacylglycerol to generate triacylglycerol and CoA. The deduced amino acid sequence of cDNAs encoding DGAT1 from plants and mammals exhibit a hydrophilic N-terminal region followed...

Adaptation to high grain diets proceeds through minimal immune system stimulation and differences in extracellular matrix protein expression in a model of subacute ruminal acidosis in non-lactating dairy cows
Download2012
AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Dionissopoulos, Louis, Steele, Michael A.
Problem statement: Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a metabolic disorder affecting approximately 20% of all dairy cattle in North America. Although the presence of SARA has been described for some time, the etiology of the disorder remains uncertain. For example, many animals diagnosed with...
