Regulation of Pancreatic β-cell Life and Death in the Context of Type 2 Diabetes: Study of the Potential Implication of the Orphan Nuclear Receptor NR4A3/Nor1 and the NZF Transcription Factor ST18.
DownloadFall 2017
Background: The insulin-secreting pancreatic beta-cell plays a central role in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In both cases, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines causes beta-cell apoptosis, which results in the...

This project investigated the effects of exercise and epinephrine on the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha), a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, in rat adipose tissue. Rats that swam 2 hours daily for 4 weeks had...

Relationship between trained sensory and objective measured meat quality attributes in crossbred Canadian beef cattle after 3- and 29-days post-mortem aging
DownloadSpring 2022
Meat quality attributes are pivotal for the beef industry. Studies across Canada showed major beef quality concerns originate from inconsistency of palatability attributes. To improve these traits genetically, they should be standardly measured, their (co)variance components and genetic...

Relationship of high somatic cell counts in the milk prior to dry off with the incidence of periparturient diseases and milk yield in holstein dairy cows
DownloadFall 2018
Intramammary infections of dairy cows are characterized by elevation of milk somatic cell counts (SCC), which are mostly neutrophils. Infections can result in substantial production losses, increased costs for treatments, and veterinary services, besides discarding the antibiotic-treated milk and...

Relationship of Radiated Heat Loss Measured by Infrared Thermography to Residual Feed Intake in Beef Heifers
DownloadFall 2013
Infrared thermography (IRT) has shown utility in predicting residual feed intake (RFI) differences in mature cows, growing bulls and finishing steers. It was hypothesized that efficient heifers would exhibit decreased radiated heat loss. RFIfat determined on sixty-one crossbred beef heifers over...

Relationships between bovine phenotype, production practices, muscle proteins and the incidence of dark cutting beef
DownloadFall 2017
Most recent reports indicated that the prevalence of dark cutting beef has increased in Canada and that 0.5% reduction in the problem could save CAD$1.77 million per annum. Understanding the underlying factors associated with the persistence and recent escalation in the occurrence of dark-cutting...
