Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of physiological variations between bovine subcutaneous and visceral fat depots under different nutritional regimes
Download2013
Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Adipose tissue plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. There is sparse understanding of the molecular regulation at the protein level of bovine adipose tissues, especially within different fat depots under different nutritional regimes. The objective of this study was to...

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...

Examining Associations of Community Food Environments with Individual Diet Quality and Body Weight Status of Canadian Children
DownloadFall 2019
Reducing the prevalence of unhealthy eating is an important challenge to address in order to reduce the burden of obesity and chronic disease. Approximately 1.6 million or one-third of Canadian children and youth are overweight or obese, and about 70% of children and youth consume less than five...

Energy expenditure forms the basis of all dietary recommendations. In patients with cancer, resting energy expenditure (REE) can be impacted by tumor burden, high systemic inflammation, and/or altered body composition. Total energy expenditure (TEE) and physical activity levels (PAL) have been...

Choline is an essential micronutrient with increased requirements during pregnancy and lactation due to a high demand by the developing fetus and infant. Animal studies have demonstrated that choline is essential for brain development, and as a component of all cell membranes it is hypothesized...

Factors affecting larval growth and development of the boreal chorus frog Pseudacris maculata
DownloadFall 2010
The boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is a widespread species but we know little of its ecology. I examined the nature and existence of competitive mechanisms operating between larvae of the boreal chorus frog and wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) from field, mesocosm and laboratory venues...

Fernandez, Melissa A, Caretero, Ann, Gammack, Nancy, Campbell Sandra, Raine, Kim D.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Ubiquitous use of the Internet has created a digital food environment in which online communication about food and nutrition is prevalent through varied platforms. Our understanding about the food and nutrition topics on social media or quality of the information...

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...

Background: Unhealthy diet is a well-established risk factor for developing many physical health conditions in adolescents (e.g., obesity, type 2 diabetes). Evidence begins to emerge that unhealthy diet might also be implicated in the development of common mental disorders. While there is a...
