The effects of antidepressants on the phenotype of activated microglia and ischemia-injured cortical neurons
DownloadFall 2013
Depression is one of the most common disorders appearing following a stroke and is also a major factor limiting recovery and rehabilitation in stroke patients. Several antidepressants have shown to have anti-inflammatory properties within the central nervous system (CNS). The major source of...

The prognosis and outcomes of patients with a ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and the biochemical and clinical inflammatory response
DownloadSpring 2013
Acute myocardial infarction, and specifically coronary plaque rupture, has been associated with a systemic inflammatory cascade. Using multiple large clinical trial datasets, we sought to further understand the systemic and clinical inflammatory responses in patients with ST-elevation myocardial...

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...

Traditional kefir reduces weight gain and improves plasma and liver lipid profiles more successfully than a commercial equivalent in a mouse model of obesity
Download2018-07-01
Bourrie, Benjamin C.T., Cotter, Paul D., Willing, Ben P.
Kefir, a fermented milk beverage, has shown promise in alleviating obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction. However, microbial characteristics are variable among traditional kefirs, and commercial kefirs drastically differ from traditional kefir. This study investigated the ability of four...
