Relationship between objective measures of physical activity and weather: A longitudinal study
Download2006
Ryan, Daniel A. J., Chan, Catherine B., Tudor-Locke, Catrine
Background The weather may be a barrier to physical activity but objective assessment of this hypothesis is lacking. Therefore we evaluated the effect of temperature, rain or snow, and wind speed on the daily physical activity of adults. Methods This report contains data from 25 males (BMI (mean...

Seed-specific down-regulation of Arabidopsis CELLULOSE SYNTHASE 1 or 9 reduces seed cellulose content and differentially affects carbon partitioning
Download2020-04-20
Jayawardhane, Kethmi N., Singer, Stacy D., Ozga, Jocelyn A., Rizvi, Syed Masood, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Key message Seed-specific down-regulation of AtCESA1 and AtCESA9, which encode cellulose synthase subunits, differentially affects seed storage compound accumulation in Arabidopsis. High amounts of cellulose can negatively affect crop seed quality, and, therefore, diverting carbon partitioning...

The characterization of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) in clonal pancreatic beta cells: Multiple modes and regulation
Download2004
Chan, Catherine B., Bikopoulos, George, Koshkin, Vasilij, Wheeler, Michael B.
Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), which contributes substantially to the regulation of normal mitochondrial metabolism, also plays a crucial role in the initiation of cell death. It is known that MPT is regulated in a tissue-specific manner. The importance of MPT in the pancreatic...

Field experiments were conducted on two cultivars of saskatoon to test the effectiveness of ethephon in stimulating uniform fruit ripening without compromising fruit quality. Shrubs of cultivars Northline and Smoky were sprayed to runoff with ethephon (0, 250, 500, and 1000 mg·L-1 for Northline';...

Plant hormones regulate virtually all aspects of plant growth and development, as well as plant responses to biotic and abiotic signals. Herein, we discuss three hormone groups, gibberellins, auxin and ethylene. These plant hormones influence seed germination, root, stem and leaf growth,...

The reliability and validity of the perceived dietary adherence questionnaire for people with type 2 diabetes
Download2015
Soria-Contreras, Diana C., Xu, Yunke, Asaad, Ghada, Sadegian, Maryam, Lau, Rita, Chan, Catherine B., Bell, Rhonda C.
Nutrition therapy is essential for diabetes treatment, and assessment of dietary intake can be time consuming. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid instrument to measure diabetic patients’ adherence to Canadian diabetes nutrition recommendations. Specific information...

Exposure of stratified apple (Malus domestics Borkh. cv. Golden Delicious) seeds to 30C induces secondary dormancy. To determine if an increase in abscisic acid (ABA) content was associated with the loss in germination capacity, stratified seeds (3,- 6, or 9 weeks at 5C) were held at 30C for 0,...

Transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism: A key determinant of pancreatic ß-cell function
Download2005
Fatehi-Hassanabad, Zahra, Chan, Catherine B.
Background Optimal pancreatic β-cell function is essential for the regulation of glucose homeostasis in both humans and animals and its impairment leads to the development of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a polygenic disease aggravated by environmental factors such as low physical activity or a...
