Adiposity and fat loss in cancer: Exploring the prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms of adipose alterations in cancer
DownloadSpring 2017
During cancer progression, many patients will experience some degree of wasting of both muscle and adipose tissue. However, little is-known about adipose tissue alterations after a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this research was conducted to first understand the prognostic significance of adipose...

Effect of Regular Dietary Consumption of Beans or Peas on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Blood Pressure in Men and Women with Mild Hypercholesterolemia
DownloadSpring 2015
Pulse consumption has been associated with beneficial effects on heart health. In this randomized controlled trial, 51 participants with mild hypercholesterolemia were randomly assigned to consume study food items containing ¾ cup beans, peas, or rice (control) per day, 5 days per week for 6...

Food intake behaviour in advanced cancer – implications of taste and smell alterations, orosensory reward, and cannabinoid therapy
DownloadFall 2009
Food intake is regulated by both appetite and orosensory reward systems. Appetite systems stimulate or reduce hunger, while orosensory reward motivates consumption of high fat sweet foods, resulting in food enjoyment. The majority of advanced cancer patients suffer from malnutrition and wasting,...

Muscle Abnormalities in cancer patients: Exploring the biological characteristics of skeletal muscle of cancer patients
DownloadFall 2019
Computed tomography-derived muscle measures of sarcopenia and low muscle radiodensity have been associated with poor outcomes in cancer patients, however, the biological characteristics of the muscle in this population are not well understood. This research was conducted to first evaluate muscle...
