Wang, Juli, Singer, Stacy D., Souto, Bernardo A., Asomaning, Justice, Ullah, Aman, Bressler, David, Chen, Guanqun
Abstract The expanding use of fossil fuels has caused concern in terms of both energy security and environmental issues. Therefore, attempts have been made worldwide to promote the development of renewable energy sources, among which biofuel is especially attractive. Compared to other biofuels,...

Egg-derived tri-peptide IRW exerts antihypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Download2013
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...

Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of physiological variations between bovine subcutaneous and visceral fat depots under different nutritional regimes
Download2013
Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Adipose tissue plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. There is sparse understanding of the molecular regulation at the protein level of bovine adipose tissues, especially within different fat depots under different nutritional regimes. The objective of this study was to...

Contraction-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction (sympatholysis) is enhanced in female compared with male rats. Acute pharmacological blockade of nitric oxide (NO) production abolished the sex difference in sympatholysis, indicating that NO-mediated sympatholysis is elevated in...

Pulses of ecdysone, a steroid hormone, play an integral role during insect development however, how these ecdysone pulses are regulated has been relatively unexplored. I have shown that the presence of nitric oxide (NO) within the larval prothoracic gland (PG), the principal source of larval...

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...

Background: In metabolic disease statues, such as diabetes and obesity, dyslipidemia is characterized by a dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, due in part to elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production and secretion by the liver. Further, these metabolic...

Impact of a 3-year multi-centre community-based intervention on risk factors for chronic disease and obesity among free-living adults: the Healthy Alberta Communities study
Download2016-01-01
Lytvyak, E., Olstad, D. L., Schopflocher, D. P., Plotnikoff, R. C., Storey, K. E., Nykiforuk, Candace I.J., Raine, K. D.
Background: Healthy Alberta Communities (HAC) was a 3-year community-based intervention to reduce lifestyle-related risk factors for chronic disease and obesity at a population-level. The current paper examines changes in blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric indicators within HAC communities...

In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

J-Coupling Effects on Quantification of the 1.3 ppm Lipid Methylene Resonance with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3 T
DownloadFall 2015
Quantification of 1.3 ppm lipid methylene protons by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been shown to be relevant to a number of diseases. Additionally, T2 estimation of 1.3 ppm methylene protons has been used to grade the metastatic potential of colon tumours. J-coupling...
