The biology and characterization of NOD-like receptors in goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) macrophages exposed to bacterial pathogens
DownloadSpring 2017
The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is important for the initiation of the host defense against pathogens. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of PRRs that primarily detect the cytosolic PAMPs of the pathogens. The NLRs have...

Development of progenitor cells into myeloid cells (i.e. macrophages and neutrophils) is critical to the survival of metazoans for maintenance of homeostasis and defense against pathogens. While much is known about myeloid cell development in mammals, less is known about this process in fish. The...

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...

Prebiotics, FODMAPs and dietary fiber - conflicting concepts in development of functional food products?
Download2018-01-01
Yan, Ya Lu, Hu, Ying, Gänzle, Michael G.
The term prebiotic relates to beneficial modulation of intestinal microbiota by dietary carbohydrates, however, uncertainties of the differentiation of the term 'prebiotics' from dietary fiber as well as FODMAPs impede development of functional foods containing prebiotics. This communication...

Plasma Membrane Organization and Endocytosis of CD36 in Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells
DownloadSpring 2016
The plasma membrane is a dynamic lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, embedded with different plasma membrane proteins, aiding communication between the inside and outside of the cells. Its functions are achieved through an intricate organization of lipid-lipid, lipid-protein and...

Physicochemical properties and microencapsulation process development for fish oil using supercritical carbon dioxide
DownloadSpring 2010
Fish oil is an excellent source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in addition to other health benefits. However, the average intake of LC-PUFA in the Western diet is much lower than the recommended levels. Fish oil is prone to...

Magazine Images Depicting the Ideal Fit Male Body: An Outlet for Influencing Body Perceptions and Exercise Related Cognitions
DownloadFall 2012
This study examined the effects of viewing health/fitness and sports magazine images on body perceptions and exercise related cognitions in males. The moderating effects of age were also examined. A series of 3 (image-only, magazine cover, control) by 3 (youngest, middle, oldest) ANOVA analyses...
