Calcium and Vitamin D Intake During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study
DownloadFall 2016
Calcium and vitamin D are important in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Low intake/status has been associated with preeclampsia, preterm delivery, lower birth weight, poor fetal skeletal growth, reduced bone mass, and excessive maternal bone loss. Rarely have these nutrients been examined...

Development of Polymeric Micelles for Site Specific Delivery of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Effect on the Cardiovascular Risk in an Experimental Model of Arthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, are among the most widely used medications worldwide with proven efficacy in controlling inflammation and pain associated various disease conditions. The chronic systemic use of most NSAIDs, however, is...

Elucidating the effects of photoperiod during gestation and lactation on mammary gene expression and function in cows and mice
DownloadSpring 2015
Photoperiod, or day length, generates a highly accurate biological calendar that allows animals to anticipate and adapt to environmental change throughout the year. Photoperiod coordinates both daily and yearly rhythms associated with sleep/wake cycles, behavior, and reproduction, including...

Estimation of choline intake from 24 h dietary intake recalls and contribution of egg and milk consumption to intake among pregnant and lactating women in Alberta
Download2014
Jacobs, Rene L., Field, Catherine J., Subhan, Fatheema B., Bell, Rhonda C., Lewis, Erin D., McCargar, Linda J., Curtis, Jonathan M.
Despite recommendations for higher choline intakes during pregnancy and lactation, there is limited research regarding maternal intake during these important periods. In the present study, we estimated dietary choline intake during pregnancy and lactation in a population of Albertan women and the...

Evaluating the effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid along with arachidonic acid during the development of the immune system in early life.
DownloadSpring 2023
The immune system is immature at birth and the dietary fats provided during early life play an important role in the development of the infant’s immune system. The precursor omega-3 (n-3) and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) α-linolenic acid and linoleic acids, respectively, are essential...

Ganglioside composition of differentiated Caco-2 cells resembles human colostrum and neonatal rat intestine
Download2009
Field, Catherine J., Schnabl, Kareena L., Clandinin M. Thomas
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids found in cell membranes and human milk with important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, growth, adhesion, migration, signalling and apoptosis. Similar changes in ganglioside composition occur during embryonic development, lactation and cancer cell...
