Spring 2010
Interest in microfluidic platforms has surged as an alternative for sample preparation in the past two decades, with the potential for miniaturization, portability, automation, integration and parallelism driving this research. However, it is still very challenging to develop an integrated...

Effects of dietary combination of 25-OH-D3 and canthaxanthin on performance, meat yield, bone characteristics and antioxidant status of broilers housed under commercial and experimental conditions
DownloadFall 2014
The effects of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OH-D3), canthaxanthin (CX), alone and in combination on broiler performance, meat yield, oxidative status, skin colour and bone characteristics were evaluated in a field trial in Colombia and also under controlled experimental conditions in Canada. The...

Majumder, Kaustav, Kaufman, Susan, Chakrabarti, Subhadeep, Morton, Jude S., Panahi, Sareh, Wu, Jianping, Davidge, Sandra T.
Background There is a growing interest in using functional food components as therapy for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. We have previously characterized a tri-peptide IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp) from egg white protein ovotransferrin; this peptide showed anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and...

Exploring the role of the thioredoxin system, peroxiredoxins and glutaredoxins in aluminum and cadmium tolerance in yeast and Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2011
Aluminum (Al) and cadmium (Cd) are non-redox active metal ions of agricultural importance. Both are able to induce oxidative damage as a mechanism of toxicity. To increase our understanding of the mechanisms of Al and Cd toxicity and tolerance in plants, the potential role of antioxidant enzymes...

The Golgi complex resides at the center of the cellular trafficking pathway, where it functions in the modification, sorting, and trafficking of over one third of human proteins to their correct cellular destination. Initiation of vesicle formation at the Golgi requires activation of small...

Caspases are a family of enzymes that regulate biological processes, such as inflammation and programmed cell death, through proteolysis. For example, in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, cell death signaling involves cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, which leads to the activation of...

Measuring proteomic changes associated with viral infections and neurodegenerative diseases using mass spectrometry
DownloadFall 2023
Viral infection and the resultant cellular stress can trigger significant changes to the cellular host proteome. Viral proteases essential to viral replication have been shown to cleave human host protein substrates as a mechanism of immune response evasion. The severe acute respiratory syndrome...

Several strains of Bacillus spp. were isolated from across Algeria, the largest African country. The strains were bioprospected from several economically-relevant environments such as oil-mining sites, salty lakes, coal mines, deserts and oil-contaminated water basins. Hundreds of isolates were...

Proteomic analysis of egg white proteins was performed to elucidate their metabolic fates during first days of embryo development using 2-DE coupled with a LC–MS/MS. A total of 91 protein spots were analyzed, representing 37 proteins belonging to ‘Gallus gallus’, of 19 proteins were detected in...
