A flow-through enzymatic microreactor for the rapid conversion of triacylglycerols into fatty acid ethyl ester and fatty acid methyl ester derivatives for GC analysis
Download2015
Mugo, Samuel M., Anuar, Sabiqah T., Curtis, Jonathan M.
A flow-through enzymatic microreactor for the rapid conversion of triacylglycerols (TAG) into fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derivatives was developed. The microreactor was a porous silica monolith fabricated within a 320 μm ID fused silica capillary with lipase...

A prepartum diet supplemented with oilseeds high in oleic or linoleic acid reduced GnRH-induced LH release in dairy cows during second week postpartum
Download2015
Ambrose, Divakar J., Salehi, Reza, Oba, Masahito, Colazo, Marcos G.
Background The objective was to determine the effect of prepartum diets supplemented with rolled canola seed (high in oleic acid) or sunflower seed (high in linoleic acid) on luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatility and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced LH release during early postpartum....

Alterations of innate immunity reactants in transition dairy cows before clinical signs of lameness
Download2015
Dervishi, Elda, Hailemariam, Dagnachew, Zhang, Guanshi, Goldansaz, Seyed A., Deng, Qilan, Dunn, Suzanna M., Ametaj, Burim N.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate metabolic and innate immunity alterations in the blood of transition dairy cows before, during, and after diagnosis of lameness during periparturient period. Blood samples were collected from the coccygeal vain once per week before morning feeding...

Assessment of pre-pregnancy dietary intake with a food frequency questionnaire in Alberta women
Download2015
Berglund, Casey, Ramage, Stephanie M., Harber, Vicki, McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C.
Purpose: Pre-pregnancy is an under-examined and potentially important time to optimize dietary intake to support fetal growth and development as well as maternal health. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which dietary intake reported by non-pregnant women is similar to...

Body composition indexes of a load-capacity model: Gender- and BMI-specific reference curves
Download2015
Broyles, Stephanie, Heymsfield, Steven B., Prado, Carla M., Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Wells, Jonathan C. K., Mire, Emily, Siervo, Mario
Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model...

Changes in the rumen papillae during the periparturient transition in Holstein dairy cows are accompanied by changes in abundance of proteins involved in intracellular pH regulation, but not SCFA transport
Download2015
McBride, Brian W., Laarman, Anne H., Steele, Michael A., AlZahal, Ousama, Kleinberg, Adam
The objective of this study was to examine changes in SCFA transportcapacity in the rumen epithelium during the parturition transition period.Twelve pregnant, cannulated primiparous and multiparous cows were fed astandard Total Mixed Ration (TMR) for the duration of the dry period; aftercalving,...

Combined effect of pressure-assisted thermal processing and antioxidants on the retention of conjugated linoleic acid in milk
Download2015
Saldaña, Marleny D.A., Martinez-Monteagudo, Sergio I.
The effect of pressure-assisted thermal processing (PATP) in combination with seven synthetic antioxidants was evaluated on the retention of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in enriched milk. Milk rich in CLA was first saturated with oxygen, followed by the addition of either catechin, cysteine,...

Comparative genomics of Lactobacillus reuteri from sourdough reveals adaptation of an intestinal symbiont to food fermentations
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Gänzle, Michael G., Lin, Xiaoxi B., Zheng, Jinshui
Lactobacillus reuteri is a dominant member of intestinal microbiota of vertebrates, and occurs in food fermentations. The stable presence of L. reuteri in sourdough provides the opportunity to study the adaptation of vertebrate symbionts to an extra-intestinal habitat. This study evaluated this...

Diet and specific microbial exposure trigger features of environmental enteropathy in a novel murine model
Download2015
Borchers, Christoph H., Willing, Benjamin P., Sansonetti, Philippe J., Uhrig, Marco, Vonaesch, Pascale, Reynolds, Lisa A., Scholz, Roland, Wlodarska, Marta, Partida, Oswaldo, & Finlay, B. Brett, Brown, Eric M., Han, Jun, Arrieta, Marie-Claire
Environmental enteropathy (EE) is a subclinical chronic inflammatory disease of the small intestine and has a profound impact on the persistence of childhood malnutrition worldwide. However, the aetiology of the disease remains unknown and no animal model exists to date, the creation of which...
