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...

Stroke, a reduction in blood flow to the brain, activates various proteins that contribute to neuronal death. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP2 and MMP9, are important in maintaining the blood brain barrier (BBB). After a stroke the BBB permeability increases which is...

Effects of Inflammation and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Renin-Angiotensin System and Cytochrome P450 Metabolites of Arachidonic Acid
DownloadSpring 2016
Patients suffering from inflammatory disorders are at higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality compared to general population. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid...

Spring 2014
Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of some cardiovascular diseases and contributes to the observed increased overall mortality rate. It also influences the action and disposition of drugs including some of the cardiovascular agents that are commonly used by patients with inflammatory...

Egg-derived tri-peptide IRW exerts antihypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Download2013
Majumder, Kaustav, Kaufman, Susan, Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Morton, Jude S., Panahi, Sareh, Wu, Jianping, Davidge, Sandra T.
Background There is a growing interest in using functional food components as therapy for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. We have previously characterized a tri-peptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) from egg white protein ovotransferrin; this peptide showed anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and...

Exploring Novel Therapies for Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
DownloadSpring 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by neurodegeneration, inflammation and demyelination. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis not only include motor deficits, but also secondary symptoms of pain, depression and anxiety. The purpose of...

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...

Influence of therapeutic hypothermia on neuroprotection and post-ischemic plasticity in a rat model of global ischemia
DownloadFall 2011
Blood flow to the brain may be disrupted by either a stroke (such as focal ischemia or hemorrhage) or cardiac arrest, where the whole brain becomes ischemic. Both forms of injury result in irreversible neuronal loss leading to neurological impairments and a decrease in the quality of life....

Intracortical administration of pleiotrophin in ischemic stroke: investigating functional outcomes and glial expression
DownloadSpring 2023
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in Canada, exerting a serious burden on stroke survivors, their families, and healthcare resources. Characterized by brain damage due to loss of blood flow and oxygen supply, ischemic stroke is characterized by...

Intravaginal lactic acid bacteria modulated local and systemic immune responses and lowered the incidence of uterine infections in periparturient dairy cows
Download2015
Dunn, Suzanna M., Odhiambo, John F., Farooq, Umar, Ametaj, Burim N., Lam, Tran, Deng, Qilan
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocktail around parturition could influence the immune response, incidence rate of uterine infections, and the overall health status of periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant...
