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 randomized, controlled trial of ginseng consumption on the immune response to a moderate exercise stress protocol in non-athletic women
Download2010
McCargar, Linda J., Harber, Vicki J., Field, Catherine J., Biondo, Patricia D.
Background: Ginseng is a popular herbal remedy that has been proposed to increase resistance to stress and enhance immune function. Regular moderate exercise results in an acute physiological stress that affects immune function. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of...

A systematic review on the effect of sweeteners on glycemic response and clinically relevant outcomes
Download2011
Wiebe, Natasha, Jacobs, Rene, Marks, Seth, Padwal, Raj, Field, Catherine J., Tonelli, Marcello
Background The major metabolic complications of obesity and type 2 diabetes may be prevented and managed with dietary modification. The use of sweeteners that provide little or no calories may help to achieve this objective. Methods We did a systematic review and network meta-analysis of the...

Ueda, Keitaro, Ito, Kazuhiro, Kimura, Genki, Moses, Audric, Xiong, Yeping, Kizawa, Yasuo, Curtis, Jonathan M., Barnes, Peter J., Mercado, Nicolas
Anti-oxidant capacity is crucial defence against environmental or endogenous oxidative stress. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor that plays a key defensive role against oxidative and cytotoxic stress and cellular senescence. However, Nrf2...

Assessment of the mechanisms exerting glucose-lowering effects of dried peas in glucose-intolerant rats
Download2012
Jin, Alena, Field, Catherine J., Yee, Homun, Kozicky, Lisa, Morris, Jill, Chan, Catherine B., Bell, Rhonda C., Ha, Christine, Whitlock, Kevin A., Ozga, Jocelyn A.
The present study compared the effects of feeding uncooked pea fractions (embryo v. seed coat) on glucose homeostasis in glucose-intolerant rats and examined potential mechanisms influencing glucose homeostasis. Rats were made glucose intolerant by high-fat feeding, after which diets containing...

Punicic acid (PuA; 18: 3Δ 9cis,11trans,13cis ) is an unusual 18-carbon fatty acid bearing three conjugated double bonds. It has been shown to exhibit a myriad of beneficial bioactivities including anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate...

Brain fatty acid-binding protein and ω-3/ω-6 fatty acids: Mechanistic insight into the poor prognosis of malignant glioma cell migration
Download2010
Godbout, Roseline, Mita, Raja, Field, Catherine J., Beaulieu, Michael J.
Malignant gliomas (MG) are highly infiltrative tumors that consistently recur despite aggressive treatment. Brain fatty acid-binding protein (FABP7), which binds docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA), localizes to sites of tumor infiltration and is associated with a poor prognosis...

Changes in the triacylglycerol content of flaxseeds during development using liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS)
Download2012
Zhao, Yan-Yan, Herchi, Wahid, Salah, H. B., Trabelsi, Hajer, Curtis, Jonathan M., Kallel, Hela, Boukhchina, Sadok
Changes in the composition of triacylglycerols (TAGs) of three varieties of flaxseeds (H52, O116 and P129) during development were investigated using non-aqueous reversed phase liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APPI-MS). 17 species of...

Characterization of α-Galactooligosaccharides formed via Heterologous Expression of α- 2 Galactosidases from Lactobacillus reuteri in Lactococcus lactis
Download2014-01-01
Wang, Yvonne, Black, Brenna A., Curtis, Jonathan M., Gänzle, Michael G.
α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOS) are produced by transgalactosylation reactions of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) or by conversion of raffinose family oligosaccharides by levansucrase. Similarly to β-GOS, α-GOS have the potential to mimic glycan receptors on eukaryotic cells and act as molecular...
