Characteristics and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among three ethnic groups in Canada
Download2005-11-22
Liu, Juan, Hanley, Anthony J. G., Young, T. Kue, Harris, S. B., Zinman, Bernard
"Objective: To compare the characteristics and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Native Indians, Inuit, andnon-Aboriginal Canadians. Methods: The study was based on four cross-sectional studies conducted in the late 1980s and early 1990s involving threeethnic groups living in...

Characterization of Norovirus strains and a seroprevalence study to understand the fluctuation of outbreak activity in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Norovirus (NoV) is recognized as the leading agent causing gastroenteritis among individuals of all ages. Historical data of NoV outbreak surveillance in Alberta, Canada, from the period July 2000 to June 2008 demonstrated a biennial pattern of NoV outbreak activity, in which peaks of high...

Chronic dietary n-3 PUFA intervention improves dyslipidaemia and subsequent cardiovascular complications in the JCR:LA-cp rat model of the metabolic syndrome
Download2011
Borthwick, Faye, Field, Catherine J., Wang, Ye, Proctor, Spencer D., Jaeschke, Anja, Shi, Danni, Hassanali, Zahra, Ruth, Megan, Russell, James C., Mangat, Rabban, Vine, Donna F., Lu, Jing
There is increasing interest in the potential chronic beneficial effects of dietary n-3 PUFA on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and associated cardiovascular complications. We have recently established that increased dietary n-3 PUFA has a profound acute benefit on fasting lipids and the...

Deciphering the Biological Basis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse Using a Novel In-Vitro Study Model
DownloadSpring 2024
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy associated with a poor clinical outcome that is largely attributed to disease relapses. Treatment options for relapsed AML patients are limited; after relapse, the median survival is only ~6 months. The biology underlying...

Dietary fish oil reduces glomerular injury and improves elevated renal hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid levels in the JCR:LA-cp rat, a model of the metabolic syndrome
Download2012
Proctor, Spencer D., Borthwick, Faye, Lu, Jing, Aukema, Harold
We have previously shown nutritional intervention with fish oil (n-3 PUFA) to reduce numerous complications associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rat. In the present study, we sought to explore the potential role of fish oil to prevent glomerulosclerosis in...

Evaluation of Targeted Selective Inhibitors to Enhance Temozolomide Treatment Sensitivity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
DownloadSpring 2024
Temozolomide (TMZ) is an alkylating agent with limited activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) enhances tumor cell resistance to TMZ. B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and mouse double minute 2 homology (MDM2) are proteins involved in AML...

Functional and topological analysis of yeast acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme essential for triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Download2011
Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...
