Glucosamine Anti-Inflammatory Dose-Effect Correlation and Its Influence on the Renin-Angiotensin System Components and Arachidonic Acid Metabolites under Inflammatory Condition in the Rat with Adjuvant Arthritis
DownloadSpring 2015
Crystalline glucosamine (GlcN) sulfate salt formulation is approved as a prescription drug with anti-inflammatory effects for the management of osteoarthritis (OA) in the European Union, while it is considered as a nutraceutical in North America. The effectiveness of GlcN for ameliorating the...

Influence of lipids (arachidonic acid and cholesterol) on calcium signalling in rodent pancreatic beta cells
DownloadFall 2010
Ca2+ is an important mediator of stimulus-secretion coupling in beta cells of the pancreatic islets, which secrete insulin in response to elevation in plasma glucose concentration. I studied the actions of two lipids, arachidonic acid (AA) and cholesterol, on enzymatically-dissociated single...

Maternal Essential Fatty Acid Status During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study and Infant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) acids are essential fatty acids found in breast milk and are important for the infant’s brain development and cognitive functions such as those that regulate sleep and crying. The overall goal of this research was to use a large maternal infant cohort,...

Malignant gliomas (MG) are the most common and aggressive brain cancers. FABP7 is an intracellular lipid trafficking molecule whose expression correlates with reduced MG patient survival. FABP7 has been shown to increase the migratory behaviour of MG cells. Moreover, the migratory behaviour of...

MODULATING CYTOCHROME P450-MEDIATED ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLISM AS A POTENTIAL NEW TREATMENT MODALITY FOR CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
DownloadSpring 2017
El-Sherbeni, Ahmed Abd El-Hakeem
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism has long been a very appealing target for drug discovery and development efforts. Beside cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, AA is also metabolized by the recently recognized cytochrome P450 (P450) pathway, forming several biologically-active...

The computational ability of principal neurons and interneurons in the brain and their ability to work together in concert are thought to underlie higher order cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and attention. Dendrites play a very important role in neuronal information processing...

Pharmacological and Fluorometric Assessment of Neuronal KCNQ Channels, and Implications for Understanding Neurological Disease
DownloadSpring 2020
Epilepsy affects 60 million people worldwide, and encompasses the most common forms of neurological disorders. Epilepsy manifests in diverse ways in patients, ranging from mild cognitive effects, to seizures, to the more severe epileptic encephalopathy. While many pharmacological approaches exist...

Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Regulation of Cardiac Gap Junctional Communication: Metabolic regulation of Cx40 and Cx43 via phosphorylation
DownloadFall 2015
Alterations in myocardial metabolism and cardiac electrophysiology associated with structural heart disease generate lethal arrhythmias. Differential levels of energy (ATP) supply and demand are generated with structural heart disease that is expected to activate 5’-amp activated protein kinase...
