Protein silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising treatment strategy for cancer as over-expression of proteins is largely responsible for cancer cells’ infinite proliferation, evasion of cell death and multi-drug resistance. However, siRNAs require a carrier as their biological...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Abnormal levels of circulating lipids (dyslipidemia) is a well-known risk factor for CVD. Traditionally, fasting lipids, inclusive of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC), have...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...

The affinities of the most abundant oligosaccharides found in human milk for four bacterial exotoxins (from Vibrio cholerae and pathogenic Escherichia coli) were quantified for the first time. Association constants (Ka) for a library of 20 human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) binding to Shiga toxin...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) methods to study protein-carbohydrate interactions in vitro. The affinities (Ka) of two recombinant fragments of Clostridium difficile toxins (TcdA & TcdB) and a library of the most...

BackgroundEvidence is emerging that the gut microbiome is an important contributor to the weight and metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. However, the microbial and intestinal physiological changes that occur with bariatric surgery are poorly understood. Developing this understanding...

The Role of Intestinal Derived Remnant Lipoproteins in the Progression of Atherosclerosis in Animal Models of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Introduction: Subjects with insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than those without diabetes, however the mechanistic basis remains elusive. Despite LDL-cholesterol lowering by statin therapy, two-thirds of all CVD events remain, constituting...
