Evaluation of the threonine requirement and the bioavailability of threonine in feedstuffs in pregnant sows
DownloadFall 2010
Current recommendations for amino acid intake during pregnancy are for a constant amino acid intake throughout. However, the demand for amino acids changes from maternal tissue growth in early gestation to fetal, conceptus and mammary tissue development in late gestation. The availability of...

Spring 2016
Arsenic is a proven human carcinogen and associated with a myriad of other adverse health effects. This metalloid is methylated in human liver to monomethylarsonic acid (MMAV), monomethylarsonous acid (MMAIII), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV), and dimethylarsinous acid (DMAIII) and eliminated...

Spring 2018
Collagen hydrolysates (CH) are emerging health supplements associated with a growing body of evidence indicating that they may positively influence skin conditions, promote joint and bone health, and even ameliorate hypertension and type 2 diabetes. The biological effects of CH, however, are...

Intestinal Uptake of Barley Protein Nanoparticles as Delivery Vehicles for Bioactive Compounds
DownloadFall 2013
The use of nanoparticles as nutrient delivery vehicles enables the enhancement of the oral bioavailability and health promoting benefits of bioactive compounds. Barley protein nanoparticles were developed in previous study for hydrophobic compound delivery. The objective of the present study was...

MODULATION OF ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR (AHR)-REGULATED CARCINOGEN ACTIVATING ENZYMES BY ORGANIC ARSENICALS: A POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC TARGET
DownloadSpring 2017
Arsenic is a worldwide environmental pollutant that is associated with skin and several types of internal cancers, such as liver, lung, kidney, urinary bladder, and prostate cancers. Recent reports revealed that organic arsenic metabolites, such as trimethylarsine oxide (TMAO), dimethylarsinic...

Natural and anthropogenic inputs of arsenic and selenium to the environment in the Athabasca Bituminous Sands Region
DownloadSpring 2019
Industrial development of the Athabasca Bituminous Sands (ABS) in northern Alberta, Canada, has raised concerns that emissions of arsenic and selenium to the surrounding landscape and waterbodies have been increasing over time. To test this hypothesis, a comprehensive study of arsenic and...

Proanthocyanidins and Glucose Homeostasis: An Analysis of Bioavailability and Mechanisms in Rats
DownloadFall 2015
Proanthocyanidins (PAC) belong to a highly consumed class of flavonoids and their consumption has been linked to beneficial effects on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. However, limited gastrointestinal absorption occurs due to the structure complexity of polymeric PAC and the mechanisms by...

Risk estimates of arsenic related skin lesions in two large villages in Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh
DownloadFall 2009
In rural Bangladesh people drink water from an estimated 10-11 million tube wells, many with arsenic concentrations well above the national standard of 50µg/L. Characteristic skin lesions and more serious health effects are probable. The research reported here was designed to determine the...

Simultaneous measurement of protein and energy metabolism and application to determine lysine requirements in sows
DownloadSpring 2011
Simultaneous measurements of energy and protein metabolism can provide valuable information about their interactions. Dietary lysine is limiting in typical feedstuffs fed to swine and, therefore, limits protein synthesis. Current recommendations for dietary amino acid and energy intakes may not...
