Altered ganglioside metabolism in inflammatory bowel disease and the impact of dietary ganglioside intake
DownloadFall 2014
Gangliosides are integral to the structure and function of the plasma membrane. Ganglioside composition of the small intestinal brush border membrane and apical surface of the colon influence numerous cell processes including microbial attachment, cell division, differentiation, and signaling....

Dietary lipids containing gangliosides reduce Giardia muris infection in vivo and survival of Giardia lamblia trophozoites in vitro
Download2004
Suh, M., Belosevic, M., Clandinin, M.T.
We examined whether a ganglioside supplemented diet affected the course of Giardia muris infection in mice and survival of Giardia lamblia trophozoites in vitro. Female CD-1 mice were fed 1 of 5 experimental diets : standard lab chow as a control diet; semi-synthetic diets containing 20% (w/w)...

Ganglioside Increases Metastatic Potential and Susceptibility of Prostate Cancer to Gene Therapy in vitro
DownloadFall 2009
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the 2nd most common cancer in North American men. Tumour management strategies are appropriate for early stage disease, but advanced disease has a poor prognosis and requires prompt treatment. Therefore, research into delay of tumour progression and efficacious treatment...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract. IBD primarily includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. Gangliosides are negatively charged glycosphingolipids that consist of a hydrophobic ceramide and a hydrophilic oligosaccharide chain...

Gangliosides in Plasma and Chylomicrons of Control Participants and Individuals with Diabetes Fed both a High- and Low-Fat Diet
DownloadFall 2014
Aim: To investigate whether the plasma and chylomicron ganglioside profiles of participants with type 2 diabetes differ from those of matched control participants at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours postprandial when individuals are fed both a high- and low-fat diet for three days each. Background: Type 2...

Giardiasis in children attending daycare centers in Guatemala and the therapeutic potential of ganglioside
DownloadSpring 2011
Intestinal enteropathy is a prevalent yet neglected aspect of child malnutrition involving chronic exposure to intestinal pathogens such as Giardia intestinalis. Gangliosides have therapeutic potential for the treatment of giardiasis and intestinal enteropathy. The objectives of the thesis were...

Measuring positive cooperativity using the direct ESI-MS assay: Cholera toxin B subunit homopentamer binding to GM1 pentasaccharide
Download2014
Lin, Hong, Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N.
Direct electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) assay was used to investigate the stepwise binding of the GM1 pentasaccharide β-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)[α-D-Neu5Ac-(2→3)]-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp (GM1os) to the cholera toxin B subunit homopentamer (CTB5) and to establish...

Role of gangliosides in extracellular vesicle secretion in wild-type and Huntington's disease cell models
DownloadFall 2020
Gangliosides are sialic acid containing glycosphingolipids highly enriched in the brain that play vital roles in intercellular communication, cell signalling and calcium homeostasis. A decrease in the ganglioside levels in the brain has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases....
