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...

Changes to collagen heat solubility with post mortem ageing of beef and validation of genetic markers for collagen characteristic
DownloadSpring 2023
Consumer acceptability of meat is dependent on eating satisfaction, of which meat tenderness is a principal factor. While there has been much work done to improve meat quality, and grading systems are in place to evaluate meat and guarantee a superior eating experience, the characteristics of...

Evaluating perching biomechanics in commercial and random-bred strains of enriched-housed laying hens
DownloadFall 2023
Housing, including rearing environment and provided enrichments, impact the welfare of laying hens throughout their life. As the Canadian egg layer industry shifted away from conventional cages, an increase in keel bone damage (KBD) has raised welfare and economic concerns. Keel bone damage leads...

Understanding host-microbiome interactions and influence on STEC colonization in cattle using integrated omics
DownloadFall 2023
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is the major foodborne pathogen in humans with Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) and 2 (stx2) being the main virulence factors. Cattle are the major reservoir of STEC with those shedding >104 CFU/g STEC being defined as super shedders (SS). The rectal anal...

The Regulatory Roles of Peptide IRW on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in High-Fat Diet-Induced Mice and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
DownloadFall 2023
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) refers to a cluster of various risk factors commonly associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and diabetes. Up-regulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a key member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is generally protective against CVDs and...
