Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats
Download2010
Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...

Vaccenic acid suppresses intestinal inflammation by increasing the endocannabinoid anandamide and non-cannabinoid signaling molecules in a rat model of the metabolic syndrome
Download2016
Jacome-Sosa, Miriam, Proctor, Spencer D., Field, Catherine J., Vacca, Claudia, Nelson, Randy C., Mangat, Rabban, Reaney, Martin J., Curtis, Jonathan M., Banni, Sebastiano, Diane, Abdoulaye, Piomelli, Daniele, Igarash, Miki, Vine, Donna F., Shen, Jianheng
Vaccenic acid (VA), the predominant ruminant-derived trans fat in the food chain, ameliorates hyperlipidemia, yet mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated whether VA could influence tissue endocannabinoids (ECs) by altering the availability of their biosynthetic precursor, arachidonic acid...

Proctor, Spencer D., Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Gergung, Christopher A., Blewett, Heather J.
Vaccenic acid (VA) is a ruminant-derived trans-fat and precursor of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The objective of the present study was to explore the effects of VA on immune function in a model of the metabolic syndrome, JCR:LA-cp rats. Lean (2:1 mix of +/cp and +/+) and obese (cp/cp) rats,...

Use of the fluorescent probe LAURDAN to label and measure inner membrane fluidity of endospores of Clostridium spp.
Download2012-10-01
Hofstetter, Simmon, Denter, Christian, Winter, Roland, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
A method for measuring the fluidity of inner membranes of populations of endospores of Clostridium spp. with a fluorescent dye was developed. Cells of Clostridium beijerinckii ATCC 8260 and Clostridium sporogenes ATCC 7955 were allowed to sporulate in the presence of...

Transduction of stx2a mediated by phage (Φ11-3088) from Escherichia coli O104:H4 in vitro and in situ during sprouting of mung beans
Download2022-12-16
Fang, Yuan, Brückner, Luisa Linda, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain 11-3088 encoding Stx2a is epidemiologically related to the foodborne outbreak associated with sprouts in Germany, 2011. Sprouting provides suitable conditions for bacterial growth and may lead to transduction of non-pathogenic strains of E. coli with Stx phages....

Background Hemodialysis patients are at risk for deficiency of essential trace elements and excess of toxic trace elements, both of which can affect health. We conducted a systematic review to summarize existing literature on trace element status in hemodialysis patients. Methods All studies...

Background People with kidney failure are often deficient in zinc and selenium, but little is known about the optimal way to correct such deficiency. Methods We did a double-blind randomized trial evaluating the effects of zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and vitamin E added to the standard oral renal...

Estimating dietary choline intake can be challenging due to missing foods in the current United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) database. The objectives of the study were to quantify the choline-containing moieties and the total choline content of a variety of pulses available in North...

The role of intestinal microbiota in development of irinotecan toxicity and in toxicity reduction through dietary fibres in rats
Download2014
Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

The quest for the perfect loaf of sourdough bread continues: Novel developments for selection of sourdough starter cultures
Download2023-12-16
Gänzle, Michael G., Qiao, , Nanzhen, Bechtner, Julia
Sourdough fermentation, one of the oldest unit operations in food production, is currently experiencing a revival in bread production at the household, artisanal, and the industrial level. The expanding use of sourdough fermentation in bread production and the adaptation of fermentation to large...
