Cellular Long Chain Fatty Acid Uptake by CD36: Identifying an Amino Acid That Plays a Critical Role and Assessing Physiological Impact in Bone Marrow Derived Macrophages
DownloadSpring 2021
Long chain fatty acids (LCFA) serve essential functions in human cells, and the presence of too little or too much could have detrimental effects. LCFA can enter cells through passive diffusion, also known as flip-flop, but the majority enter in association with a protein allowing regulation and...

Nutritional Value of Faba Bean Cultivars as Dietary Source of Energy and Protein for Weaned and Growing Pigs
DownloadFall 2022
Novel faba bean cultivars vary in nutrient content, digestibility and antinutritional factors that must be characterized to prioritize which faba bean cultivars to grow for pigs feeding. In chapter 2, five diets included (20%, phase 1; 30%, phase 2) 3 different, zero-tannin and high...

Plasma Membrane Organization and Endocytosis of CD36 in Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells
DownloadSpring 2016
The plasma membrane is a dynamic lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, embedded with different plasma membrane proteins, aiding communication between the inside and outside of the cells. Its functions are achieved through an intricate organization of lipid-lipid, lipid-protein and...

Relationships between loin physical, meat quality and intramuscular collagen characteristics of carcasses from crossbred swine populations
DownloadSpring 2020
Carcass and meat characteristics are of great importance to the pork industry as they determine the ultimate returns from animals produced. Making genetic progress in these traits requires them to be measurable, heritable and have adequate additive genetic variability. Estimates of genetic...

The Investigation of Intestinal/Muscle Lipid Metabolism and Meat Quality in Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2023
Metabolic syndrome and obesity-related complications such as insulin resistance (IR), type II diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have remained a critical worldwide health issue. A previously published study by our group revealed that low birth weight (LBW) piglets exhibited IR and...
