Fall 2012
Mechanisms underlying fat loss in cancer are not well understood. Knowing the types of fat being lost from adipose tissue may help define interventions to circumvent wasting. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in adipokines and fatty acid composition between visceral adipose...

Willows, Noreen D., Dewailly, Éric, Gray-Donald, Katherine
The iron status and diet of Inuit infants living in northern Quebec who were part of a prospective cohort study was described. The prevalence of anemia (hemoglobin values >2SD below the reference mean) was 21.1% (23/109), 47.4% (55/116) and 37.7% (46/122) at 2, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The...

Could Age, Sex and Physical Fitness Affect Blood Glucose Responses to Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes?
Download2019-11-13
Yardley, J. E., Brockman, N. K., Bracken, R. M.
Closed-loop systems for patients with type 1 diabetes are progressing rapidly. Despite these advances, current systems may struggle in dealing with the acute stress of exercise. Algorithms to predict exercise-induced blood glucose changes in current systems are mostly derived from data involving...

Effects of production system and growth promotants on the physiological maturity scores in steers
Download2014
Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., N. Prieto, I. L., López-Campos, Ó., Larsen, M.
Over a 2-yr period, 224 crossbred steers were allotted to a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments to determine the effect of the production system (calf-fed vs. yearling-fed), growth implant strategy (non-implanted vs. implanted) and β-agonist supplementation (no ractopamine vs. ractopamine)...

Mandatory folate fortification polices in North America have resulted in high levels of circulating folate in the population. At the same time, a trend toward increased energy intake and reduced energy expenditure has lead to an increased prevalence of obesity, characterized by an accumulation of...

The biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise remain elusive. Growing evidence suggests that white adipose tissue (WAT) is an important organ that exercise exerts beneficial effects on. The role of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in mediating WAT metabolism remains...

Fatty acid composition of the adipose tissue of polar bears and of their prey: ringed seals, bearded seals and harp seals
Download2003
Grahl-Nielsen, O., Lydersen, C., Wiig, Ø., Kovacs, K., Derocher, A.E., Andersen, M.
Polar bears Ursus maritimus are predators of phocid seals, but they also forage opportunistically on a variety of other species. In the Barents Sea—Svalbard area, their diet is thought to consist almost exclusively of ringed seals Phoca hispida, bearded seals Erignathus barbatus and harp seals P....

Adipose tissue plays an important role in the energetic balance, but it is also an important aspect of meat quality and animal productivity. However, the understanding on how fat metabolism is regulated in beef cattle is not clear. This research aimed at exploring how bovine adipose tissue is...

Funerary Practices under Globalizing Influences on the Frontier of Roman Pannonia: The Performance and Expression of Communal and Individual Social Identities as Evidenced in the Cremation Burial Assemblages of the Bécsi Road Cemetery of the Canabae of Aquincum and the Southern Cemetery of the Civilian City of Carnuntum
DownloadFall 2021
This dissertation examines aspects of the cremation burial assemblages of graves from the published material of Bécsi Road cemetery of the canabae of Aquincum and the southern cemetery of the civilian settlement of Carnuntum in the Roman region of Pannonia as evidence of practices that reflect...
