Allometric association between in vivo estimation of body composition during growth using deuterium dilution technique and chemical analysis of serial slaughtered pigs
Download2006
Looft, H., Landgraf, S., Kalm, E., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
The objective of this study was to develop accurate mathematical-statistical functions to estimate body composition of live pigs between 20 and 140 kg weight from total body water (TBWA) determined by the deuterium dilution technique. Chemical body compositions during the growth period are...

An Interpretive Description of Nigerian Healthcare Providers’ Perspectives, Experiences and Practices of Self-Management Support for Persons with Type 2 Diabetes
DownloadSpring 2021
Background: Studies show that most people living with diabetes in Nigeria have inadequate knowledge of their condition, poor self-management, and poor glycemic control. Many of these studies focused on patients who were often blamed by healthcare providers (HCPs) for their situation. There is a...

An Investigation of the Oxidation of Carbohydrate versus Fat for Energy in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
DownloadFall 2013
Impaired fat oxidation has been associated with increased plasma free fatty acid concentrations, ectopic fat deposition and insulin resistance, which may contribute to the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The objectives of this research were to determine whether individuals with T2D oxidized...

Assessment of the effectiveness of the Physical Activity and Nutrition for Diabetes in Alberta (PANDA) nutrition intervention for type 2 diabetes patients
DownloadSpring 2016
Type 2 diabetes patients often find integrating a new dietary pattern into their lifestyle challenging; therefore, the PANDA (Physical Activity and Nutrition for Diabetes in Alberta) nutrition intervention was developed to help people incorporate the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) nutrition...

Development and pilot test of a culturally tailored menu plan for Chinese immigrants with type 2 diabetes
DownloadSpring 2016
Chinese Canadians are at higher risk for developing diabetes than the general Canadian population. Although culturally tailored diabetes treatment is recommended, there is a lack of relevant dietary resources for Chinese in Canada. The objectives of this thesis were to identify components in...

Development of carcass cuts, organs, body tissue and chemical body composition during growth of pigs
Download2006
Landgraf, S., Roehe, R., Plastow, G. S., Kalm, E., Looft, H., Susenbeth, A., Knap, P. W.
A serial slaughter trial was carried out to examine the developmental change of physical and chemical body composition in pigs highly selected for lean content. A total of 48 pigs (17 females and 31 castrated males) were serially slaughtered and chemically analysed. Eight pigs were slaughtered at...

Fall 2017
The pathological events initiating diabetic cardiac changes in response to chronic hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remain unclear. Due to the high metabolic activity of the heart, and its sensitivity to acute changes in oxygen and substrate flux, mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as...
