Epidemiological studies correlate vitamin D deficiency with asthma severity. Calcitriol modulates receptor and cytokine expression from various leukocytes in an anti-inflammatory manner. Despite eosinophil activity during mucosal inflammation, knowledge on the direct effect of calcitriol on this...

Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats
Download2010
Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...

Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Transport and reaction processes in bioremediation of organic contaminants. 1. Review of bacterial degradation and transport
Download2003-01-01
Bressler, David C., Gray, Murray R.
Bioremediation of contaminants in soil and water involves a complex interplay between transport processes and biological reactions. Equilibrium physical factors such as aqueous solubility, soil adsorption, and phase partitioning indicate the transport processes that can limit bioremediation,...

Fall 2017
The inflammatory response is a complex biological process initiated following the recognition of noxious stimuli. It is composed of an elaborate cascade of both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, essential for effective defenses against infection, the removal of damaged cells, and the...

MS is a chronic demyelinating disease of the CNS that presents with debilitating symptoms in the later stages of disease progression and therefore a high demand for targeted disease-modifying treatments exists. In order to create effective treatments the causalities between the symptoms and...

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 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 effect of oral lipids and lipoproteins on the biodistribution, metabolism and electrocardiographic side-effects of halofantrine
DownloadSpring 2011
In the past, hyperlipidemia (HL) has been shown to affect the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of lipophilic drugs extensively bound to lipoproteins, including halofantrine (HF). The present thesis examined the effect of HL on the biodistribution, metabolism and electrocardiographic...
