Intravaginal lactic acid bacteria modulated local and systemic immune responses and lowered the incidence of uterine infections in periparturient dairy cows
Download2015
Dunn, Suzanna M., Odhiambo, John F., Farooq, Umar, Ametaj, Burim N., Lam, Tran, Deng, Qilan
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocktail around parturition could influence the immune response, incidence rate of uterine infections, and the overall health status of periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant...

Fall 2023
The calving transition is a challenging period for dairy cows characterized by negative energy balance, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation, each of which may compromise milk production. Despite extensive research in this area, much is still unknown on how to best manage this period. The...

Investigating the role of coiled-coil domain containing protein 3 (CCDC3), a novel secreted protein, in endothelial inflammation
DownloadFall 2015
Endothelial inflammation is critical in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces endothelial inflammation via activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling....

Investigation of antibody-mediated immune mechanisms during submicroscopic infections of pregnancy-associated malaria in pregnant women from Colombia
DownloadFall 2021
Malaria has been a threat to humans for centuries and continues to be a global health problem. Repeated exposure to malaria in childhood can result in protective immunity that reduces parasite invasion of red blood cells and the sequestration of infected red blood cells (iRBC) in the tissues....

Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms That Determine Isolate-Specific, Antibody-Mediated Neutralization of HCV infectivity
DownloadFall 2018
It is estimated that there are about 1.75 million new Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections per year worldwide and around 20% will develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer if left untreated. Direct acting antiviral drugs are available for the treatment of HCV with success rates of over 90%. But...

Let’s not Sugar-Coat it: Exploring Differences of Sugar Consumption Behaviours During Pregnancy Through Focused Ethnography
DownloadFall 2012
Excessive sugar consumption may adversely affect maternal and fetal health. This study explored influences on women’s sugar consumption behaviours during pregnancy using focused ethnography. Fifteen pregnant women were interviewed and qualitative content analysis was used to inductively derive...

Lifestyle Variables, Non‐traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors, and the Metabolic Syndrome in an Aboriginal Canadian Population
Download2006-01-05
Liu, Juan, Young, T. Kue, Zinman, Bernard, Harris, Stewart B., Connelly, Philip W., Hanle, Anthony J.G.
"Objective: To examine lifestyle factors associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to explore the relationships between MetS and non‐traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors [adiponectin, leptin, C‐reactive protein (CRP), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and serum amyloid A (SAA)] in an isolated...

Maternal and Paternal Obesity Differentially Impacts Body Weight and Glycemic Control in Male and Female Offspring
DownloadFall 2018
As the rate of obesity is increasing among children born to obese parents, our aim was to delineate how parental obesity promotes obesity risk in the offspring. A secondary aim was to determine if offspring born to obese parents would also be at risk of developing obesity-related metabolic...

Chronic trauma in childhood can program an abnormal stress reaction, resulting in lifelong difficulties with stress management and poor health outcomes linked to changes in the immune system. At the same time, maternal stress during pregnancy has been linked to childhood asthma. Given the...

Maternal Essential Fatty Acid Status During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study and Infant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) acids are essential fatty acids found in breast milk and are important for the infant’s brain development and cognitive functions such as those that regulate sleep and crying. The overall goal of this research was to use a large maternal infant cohort,...
