Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Download2011
Johnson, Ian R., Ewaschuk, Julia B., Murdoch, Gordon K., Field, Catherine J., Madsen, Karen L.
The weaning period is associated with an increased prevalence of gastrointestinal infection in many species. Glutamine (Gln) has been shown to improve intestinal barrier function and immune function in both in vivo and in vitro models. The objective of the present study was to determine the...

Industrial development is transforming Alberta's landscapes, with largely unquantified effects on wildlife species. Open-pit mining is occurring on vast expanses, most notably for bitumen but also extensively for coal in a rich seam that traverses the province. Major concerns have developed over...

Increased hypolipidemic benefits of cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid in combination with trans-11 vaccenic acid in a rodent model of the metabolic syndrome, the JCR:LA-cp rat
Download2010
Proctor, Spencer D., Lu, Jing, Shen, Jianheng, Reaney, Martin J., Wright, David C., Vine, Donna F., Jacome-Sosa, M. Miriam, Field, Catherine J., Wang, Ye, Ruth, Megan R.
Background Conjugated linoleic acid (cis-9, trans-11 CLA) and trans-11 vaccenic acid (VA) are found naturally in ruminant-derived foods. CLA has been shown to have numerous potential health related effects and has been extensively investigated. More recently, we have shown that VA has...

Bridgman, Sarah L., Konya, Theodore, Azad, Meghan B., Sears, Malcolm R., Becker, A. B., Turvey, Stuart E., Mandhane, P. J., Subbarao, P., Scott, James A., Field, Catherine J., Kozyrskyj, Anita L.
Secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a critical role in gut mucosal immune defense. Initially provided by breastmilk, IgA production by the infant gut is gradually stimulated by developing gut microbiota. This study reports associations between infant fecal IgA concentrations 4 months after...

Infant gut microbiota and the hygiene hypothesis of allergic disease: Impact of household pets and siblings on microbiota composition and diversity
Download2013
Field, Catherine J., Guttman, David S., Kozyrskyj, Anita L., Maughan, Heather, Sears, Malcolm R., Konya, Theodore, Scott, James A., Becker, Allan B., Azad, Meghan B.
Background Multiple studies have demonstrated that early-life exposure to pets or siblings affords protection against allergic disease; these associations are commonly attributed to the “hygiene hypothesis”. Recently, low diversity of the infant gut microbiota has also been linked to allergic...

Ketabi, Ali, Baracos, Vickie E., Field, Catherine J., Lin, Xiaoxi, Xue, Hongyu, Bibova, Ilona, Gänzle, Michael G., Dieleman, Levinus A., Sawyer, Michael B.
Intestinal microbiota mediate toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11) cancer therapies and cause systemic infection after CPT-11-induced loss of barrier function. The intestinal microbiota and their functions are thus potential targets for treatment to mitigate CPT-11 toxicity. However, microbiota...

Long-term effect of docosahexaenoic acid feeding on lipid composition and brain fatty acid-binding protein expression in rats
Download2015
Moncton, Elizabeth A., Brun, Miranda, Emara, Marwan, Field, Catherine J., Goruk, Susan, Godbout, Roseline, Elsherbiny, Marwa E., Richard, Caroline
Arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) brain accretion is essential for brain development. The impact of DHA-rich maternal diets on offspring brain fatty acid composition has previously been studied up to the weanling stage; however, there has been no follow-up at later stages. Here, we...

Bridgman, Sarah L., Letourneau, Nicole, Field, Catherine J., Azad, Meghan B., Johnston, David W., Kozyrskyj, Anita L., Kaplan, Bonnie J.
Background Probiotic products that may modify the intestinal microbiota are becoming increasingly available and known to consumers due to their potential to prevent or treat many pediatric health conditions. As scientific knowledge of the health benefits of probiotics increases, it is important...

n-3 fatty acids inhibit transcription of human IL-13: Implications for development of T helper type 2 immune responses
Download2013
Cameron, Lisa, Madsen, Norman, MacLean, Emily, Vliagoftis, Harissios, Field, Catherine J.
Fish oil supplementation during pregnancy has been associated with lower levels of cord blood IL-13, suggesting that the administration of n-3 fatty acids may attenuate the development of allergic disease. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which n-3 fatty acid administration...

Neonatal Exposure to Amoxicillin Alters Long-Term Immune Response Despite Transient Effects on Gut-Microbiota in Piglets
Download2019-01-01
Fouhse, Janelle M., Yang, Kaiyuan, More-Bayona, Juan, Gao, Yanhua, Goruk, Susan, Plastow, Graham, Field, Catherine J., Barreda, Daniel R., Willing, Benjamin P.
Antibiotic exposure during neonatal development may result in transient or persistent alterations of key microbes that are vital for normal development of local and systemic immunity, potentially impairing immune competence later in life. To further elucidate the relationship between antibiotic...
