Singh, V. P., Proctor, Spencer D., Willing, Ben P.
Over the past 20 years, a growing amount of evidence supports the role of microbes and an imbalanced microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While many reviews have been written on the microbiota in IBD, few have considered how they fulfil the Koch's postulates. In this review, we...

Long-term catheterization of the intestinal lymph trunk and collection of lymph in neonatal pigs
Download2016-01-01
Uwiera, Richard R., Mangat, Rabban., Kelly, Sandra, Uwiera, Trina C., Proctor, Spencer D.
Catheterization of the intestinal lymph trunk in neonatal pigs is a technique allowing for the long-term collection of large quantities of intestinal (central) efferent lymph. Importantly, the collection of central lymph from the intestine enables researchers to study both the mechanisms and...

Long-term effect of docosahexaenoic acid feeding on lipid composition and brain fatty acid-binding protein expression in rats
Download2015
Moncton, Elizabeth A., Brun, Miranda, Emara, Marwan, Field, Catherine J., Goruk, Susan, Godbout, Roseline, Elsherbiny, Marwa E., Richard, Caroline
Arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) brain accretion is essential for brain development. The impact of DHA-rich maternal diets on offspring brain fatty acid composition has previously been studied up to the weanling stage; however, there has been no follow-up at later stages. Here, we...

Bridgman, Sarah L., Letourneau, Nicole, Field, Catherine J., Azad, Meghan B., Johnston, David W., Kozyrskyj, Anita L., Kaplan, Bonnie J.
Background Probiotic products that may modify the intestinal microbiota are becoming increasingly available and known to consumers due to their potential to prevent or treat many pediatric health conditions. As scientific knowledge of the health benefits of probiotics increases, it is important...

Neonatal Exposure to Amoxicillin Alters Long-Term Immune Response Despite Transient Effects on Gut-Microbiota in Piglets
Download2019-01-01
Fouhse, Janelle M., Yang, Kaiyuan, More-Bayona, Juan, Gao, Yanhua, Goruk, Susan, Plastow, Graham, Field, Catherine J., Barreda, Daniel R., Willing, Benjamin P.
Antibiotic exposure during neonatal development may result in transient or persistent alterations of key microbes that are vital for normal development of local and systemic immunity, potentially impairing immune competence later in life. To further elucidate the relationship between antibiotic...

Sopcak, Nicolette, Williamson, Deanna L., Letourneau, Nicole, Stewart, Miriam, Kushner, Kaysi, E., Pitre, Nicole Y., Breitkreuz, Rhonda, Rempel, Gwen
We examined first-time fathers’ and mothers’ perspectives about their ideal world of support in the context of dominant social ideology, ethno-cultural ideals, and the pragmatics of their everyday family, workplace, and socioeconomic circumstances during their first 18 months as parents. Twelve...

Separation and quantitation of apolipoprotein B48 and other apolipoproteins by dynamic sieving capillary electrophoresis
Download1997
Mamo, John C. L., Proctor, Spencer D.
Apolipoprotein-B-48 is a structural protein exclusively associated with post-prandial lipoproteins (chylomicrons). Apolipoprotein B-48 would be a useful marker to monitor the kinetics of chylomicrons in vivo, however, its quantitation is limited because of a low concentration in plasma and lack...

Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Proctor, Spencer D., Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Gergung, Christopher A., Blewett, Heather J.
Vaccenic acid (VA) is a ruminant-derived trans-fat and precursor of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The objective of the present study was to explore the effects of VA on immune function in a model of the metabolic syndrome, JCR:LA-cp rats. Lean (2:1 mix of +/cp and +/+) and obese (cp/cp) rats,...
