Dietary fish oil reduces glomerular injury and improves elevated renal hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid levels in the JCR:LA-cp rat, a model of the metabolic syndrome
Download2012
Proctor, Spencer D., Borthwick, Faye, Lu, Jing, Aukema, Harold
We have previously shown nutritional intervention with fish oil (n-3 PUFA) to reduce numerous complications associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rat. In the present study, we sought to explore the potential role of fish oil to prevent glomerulosclerosis in...

Structure and stability of carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Methylmannose polysaccharide-fatty acid complexes
Download2016
Klassen, John S., Siuda, Iwona, Renaud, Justin, Tieleman, D. Peter, Kitova, Elena N., Liu, Lan, Mayer, Paul M., Richards, Michele R., Lowary, Todd L.
We report a detailed study of the structure and stability of carbohydrate–lipid interactions. Complexes of a methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP) derivative and fatty acids (FAs) served as model systems. The dependence of solution affinities and gas-phase dissociation activation energies (Ea) on FA...

Insulin and testosterone are associated with elevated intestinal secretion of lipids and lipoproteins in a rodent model of the metabolic and polycystic ovary syndrome
Download2014
Wang, Ye, Shi, Danni, Proctor, Spencer D., Vine, Donna F.
The metabolic syndrome is highly associated with the incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The metabolic aberrations of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia have been proposed to contribute to the development of dyslipidemia and increased Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk in PCOS....

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Abnormal levels of circulating lipids (dyslipidemia) is a well-known risk factor for CVD. Traditionally, fasting lipids, inclusive of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC), have...

Carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Affinities of methylmannose polysaccharides for lipids in aqueous solution
Download2012
Xia, Li, Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S., Liu, Lan, Bai, Yu, Lowary, Todd L.
The interactions between 3-O-methyl-mannose polysaccharides (MMPs), extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis (consisting of a mixture of MMP-10, -11, -12 and -13) or obtained by chemical synthesis (MMP-5s, -8s, -11s and -14s), and linear saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), and a commercial...

BackgroundEvidence is emerging that the gut microbiome is an important contributor to the weight and metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. However, the microbial and intestinal physiological changes that occur with bariatric surgery are poorly understood. Developing this understanding...

Background: In metabolic disease statues, such as diabetes and obesity, dyslipidemia is characterized by a dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, due in part to elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production and secretion by the liver. Further, these metabolic...
