Assessment of food accessibility, availability and adherence to dietary recommendations among diabetic older adults living in subsidized retirement homes
DownloadSpring 2012
The availability and accessibility of healthy foods for type 2 diabetes patients may limit their food choices and adherence to dietary recommendations. The accessibility and availability of food for low-income, diabetic, older adults was evaluated. Information was gathered regarding self-care...

Characterization of a novel model of intestinal lipoprotein overproduction and the impact of N-3 PUFA supplementation
DownloadFall 2009
Overproduction of intestinal chylomicrons (CM) has been proposed to contribute to fasting and post-prandial (PP) dyslipidemia and may accelerate the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) during obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes. However, the impact of morphological changes in...

Feeding high oleic acid Canola oil or olive oil alters inflammation, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in a rodent model of diet induced obesity
DownloadFall 2011
To determine the efficacy of feeding monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) via a high MUFA Canola oil on T2D risk factors diet induced obese rats were fed either a low fat diet (LF), a high fat low MUFA diet (HF), a high fat high MUFA olive oil diet (OO), or a high fat high MUFA Canola oil diet...

Long-term Impacts of Early Life Antibiotic Exposure on Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolic Disease
DownloadFall 2015
Although genetic factors, diet choices and sedentary lifestyle have long been considered main risk contributors for obesity and diabetes mellitus, years of study show that these factors cannot fully explain the increasing rate of worldwide metabolic disease. Epidemiological studies in recent...

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...

Fall 2017
Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) is a hepatic enzyme that converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine. Pemt-/- mice are protected from obesity and insulin resistance, a phenotype that is reversed with dietary choline supplementation. Additionally, PEMT deficiency...

Fall 2021
Choline, as an essential nutrient, is needed for a variety of biological processes such as phospholipid synthesis, cell-membrane signaling, lipoprotein secretion, acetylcholine biosynthesis, and one-carbon metabolism. In the North American population diet the two most common forms of choline in...

The role of ezetimibe and simvastatin in modulating intestinal cholesterol transport, chylomicron profile and chylomicron-remnant uptake by the arterial wall in a rodent model of the metabolic syndrome
DownloadFall 2010
Intestinally derived chylomicron remnants (CM-r) may contribute to atherogenic dyslipidemia during the Metabolic Syndrome (Mets). However, the combined effects of ezetimibe (EZ) and simvastatin (SV) on post-prandial (PP) dyslipidemia during MetS remains unclear, nor is it known whether the...

Vitamin D Status and Health-care Outcomes in an Ambulatory Population of Patients with Diabetes and Chronic Kidney disease: A Five-year Follow-up.
DownloadSpring 2018
Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is a prevalent condition in Canada, especially in northern latitudes where sunlight exposure is limited. Elderly patients especially those with chronic conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) have a higher risk of developing vitD...

Vitamin D Supplementation and Bone Health in Adults with Diabetic Nephropathy: Preliminary Findings from a Randomized Controlled Trial
DownloadFall 2013
Vitamin D (vitD) is a nutrient of concern in Canada particularly for those with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants (18-80y) with diabetes and CKD were randomized to receive either 50mcg/day (n=33) or 1,000mcg/month (n=30) vitD3 for 6-months. Variables studied included:...
