Non-fasting remnant cholesterol as a predictor for cardiovascular disease risk in Canadians with and without diabetes mellitus in the Alberta’s Tomorrow Project
DownloadFall 2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in Canada, and its risk of development is 3 times greater in those with diabetes mellitus (DM). Fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the traditional lipid biomarker used in CVD risk assessment. While lowering LDL-C does...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...

Polymer-Based Nanodiscs for Structural and Functional Analyses of Bacterial and Mammalian Membrane Proteins
DownloadSpring 2020
Unlike cytosolic proteins, membrane proteins (MPs) are embedded within the plasma membrane and the lipid bilayer of intracellular organelles. MPs serve in various cellular processes such as ion and metabolite transports, bioenergetic processes, signal transductions, and cell-cell communications....

Quantitative Characterization of Noncovalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2015
The interactions between water-soluble proteins and carbohydrates found on the surfaces of cells play important roles in many physiological and pathological cellular processes. Carbohydrates function as receptors for signaling, cellular recognition and adhesion, and pathogen infections. This...

Separation and characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and azaarenes using normal phase liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
DownloadFall 2016
Normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) is widely used for separating petroleum into compound classes, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polar nitrogen containing compounds. The charge-transfer and hypercrosslinked polystyrene NPLC phases provide unique selectivities for PAHs....

Protein prenylation is the post-translational addition of isoprenoid lipid moieties to proteins, which regulates their subcellular localization and function. Farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoids are covalently linked to cysteines residues in a C-terminal prenylation recognition sequence in...
