Effects of Egg White Derived Peptides on Metabolic Syndrome Complications: Hypertension, Inflammation, and Insulin resistance
DownloadSpring 2018
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of several abnormalities of hypertension, inflammation, glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia, enhances a personâs risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The number of people with MetS is increasing largely worldwide. The multi-faceted nature of...

Hemodynamic Changes in the Prefrontal Cortex during Functional Activation in Essential Hypertension Measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2014
Chronic hypertension induces microvascular changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) which could influence oxygenation status. However, hypertension-related changes in oxygenation in the PFC and cognition, especially during functional stresses, remain poorly investigated. This project consisted 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...

Angiotensin II signals cardiovascular disease through metalloproteinases including MMP-2, MMP-7 and ADAM-17/TACE. We hypothesized that these metalloproteinases regulate each other at the transcriptional level. Further, MMP-2, being a major gelatinase in cardiac and vascular tissue, could mediate...

Pharmacist Management of Hypertension: An Examination of Clinical and Economic Outcomes and Remuneration for Expanded Services
DownloadSpring 2014
Background: One-third of Canadian adults with hypertension remain uncontrolled. As drug therapy experts, pharmacists can play a role in addressing this challenge, particularly when utilizing prescribing authorization in Alberta. However, the clinical effectiveness of pharmacist management of...

Role of CYP-mediated Arachidonic Acid Metabolites in Development of Cardiac Hypertrophy and Chronic Doxorubicin-induced Cardiotoxicity
DownloadSpring 2013
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity is classified as a predisposing factor leading to cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Of importance, doxorubicin (DOX, adriamycin) is considered as an effective anticancer agent whose major limiting side effect is cardiotoxicity. Of importance, several studies...

As one of the most accessible primary health care providers, pharmacists are in an excellent position to provide primary health care services. Although slow, the current transition from a dispensing-centered (transaction-based) pharmacy approach to a patient-centered (patient care based) approach...
