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...

Non-fasting remnant cholesterol as a predictor for cardiovascular disease risk in Canadians with and without diabetes mellitus in the Alberta’s Tomorrow Project
DownloadFall 2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in Canada, and its risk of development is 3 times greater in those with diabetes mellitus (DM). Fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the traditional lipid biomarker used in CVD risk assessment. While lowering LDL-C does...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...

Polymer-Based Nanodiscs for Structural and Functional Analyses of Bacterial and Mammalian Membrane Proteins
DownloadSpring 2020
Unlike cytosolic proteins, membrane proteins (MPs) are embedded within the plasma membrane and the lipid bilayer of intracellular organelles. MPs serve in various cellular processes such as ion and metabolite transports, bioenergetic processes, signal transductions, and cell-cell communications....

Protein prenylation is the post-translational addition of isoprenoid lipid moieties to proteins, which regulates their subcellular localization and function. Farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoids are covalently linked to cysteines residues in a C-terminal prenylation recognition sequence in...

The Impact of Restrictive Drug Coverage Policies on Pharmacoepidemiologic Methods and Health Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2012
The unintended consequences of restrictive drug coverage policies on epidemiologic research methods and population health outcomes have been understudied. The primary objective of this program of research was to study the impact of these policies on the magnitude and direction of potential bias...
