The impact of food processing and diet quality on nutrition management for adults living with kidney disease
DownloadSpring 2023
Background: Food processing changes the health value and nutrient content of foods. In the general population, consumption of minimally processed foods is encouraged to reduce the intake of free sugar, fat and sodium and increase fibre, protein and potassium intake. Many nutritious foods are...

Evaluating the effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid along with arachidonic acid during the development of the immune system in early life.
DownloadSpring 2023
The immune system is immature at birth and the dietary fats provided during early life play an important role in the development of the infant’s immune system. The precursor omega-3 (n-3) and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) α-linolenic acid and linoleic acids, respectively, are essential...

Effect of Consuming Dairy Fats on Obesity-Related Cardiometabolic Perturbations and Immune Function in Low Birthweight Swine
DownloadSpring 2023
Although dairy intake has been shown to have a neutral or some beneficial effect on major cardiometabolic risk factors, the impact of dairy, and especially dairy fat, on immune function remains to be investigated. To understand the effect of consuming dairy fat on cardiometabolic risk factors and...

Best Management Practices for Implementing Ultra-Early Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Growing Systems on the Northern Great Plains
DownloadSpring 2023
Ultra-early planting of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) between soil temperatures of 0°C and 7.5°C on the northern Great Plains allows the exploitation of longer growing seasons and the avoidance of the onset of extreme heat later in the season during sensitive physiological growth stages,...

The role of de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis in the gut-liver axis and intestinal homeostasis
DownloadSpring 2023
The intestine and liver are in constant communication to maintain lipid processes and to prevent disease states such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colitis. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) can be synthesized in the liver by the CDP-choline pathway or the phosphatidylethanolamine...

Understanding how barn sanitation practices impact the chicken gut microbiome and the significance of variations in early life gut microbial community structure on microbial functionality
DownloadSpring 2023
Chemical disinfectants are widely used by Canadian broiler producers for barn sanitation, although little is known regarding their effects on chicken performance and the gut microbiome, which had been well recognized to have great importance to the host health. In this thesis, studies were...
