Adiposity and fat loss in cancer: Exploring the prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms of adipose alterations in cancer
DownloadSpring 2017
During cancer progression, many patients will experience some degree of wasting of both muscle and adipose tissue. However, little is-known about adipose tissue alterations after a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this research was conducted to first understand the prognostic significance of adipose...

It is evident that epigenetic factors, especially DNA methylation, have essential roles in obesity development. Here, using pig as a model, we investigate the systematic association between DNA methylation and obesity. We sample eight variant adipose and two distinct skeletal muscle tissues from...

Effects of hunting on the demographics, movement, and habitat selection of American black bears (Ursus americanus)
Download2008
I conducted a large-scale experiment to determine the effects of hunting on the demographics and behaviour of American black bears (Ursus americanus ). I monitored 290 bears, a subset of which were equipped with VHF and GPS radio-collars, in 2 hunted areas and an adjoining unhunted area in the...

Modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as adiposity, are already associated with atherosclerotic progression in childhood. Less is known about whether physical activity (PA) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis in non-clinical samples of children. This...
