Drug disposition investigated under indigenous conditions showed variations when compared with the values given in the literature. These variations emphasize the basis of indigenous investigations. Urinary excretion of trimethoprim was investigated in eight healthy human (male) volunteers. The...

Exploring anthropometric and laboratory differences in children of varying ethnicities with Celiac disease
Download2014-01-01
Rajani, Seema, Alzaben, Abeer, Shirton, Leanne, Persad, Rabindranath, Hyuhn, Hien Q., Mager, Diana R., Turner, Justine M.
BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disorder with an increasing prevalence, including in ethnic minorities. OBJECTIVE: To report the frequency of CD diagnosis in ethnic minorities presenting to a Canadian pediatric celiac clinic and to determine whether ethnic differences exist...

Expression of cationic amino acid transporters, carcass traits, and performance of growing pigs fed low-protein amino acid-supplemented versus high protein diets
Download2013
Morales, Adriana, García, Hector, Araiza, Alfonso, Cervantes, Miriam, Grageola, Fernando, Zijlstra, Ruurd T.
Free amino acids (AA) appear to be absorbed faster than protein-bound AA (PB-AA). We conducted an experiment to assess the effect of feeding pigs with a partially free (F-AA) or totally PB-AA diet on expression of selected genes and performance of pigs. The expression of cationic AA transporters...

Expression of PPARα modifies fatty acid effects on insulin secretion in uncoupling protein-2 knockout mice
Download2007
Fatehi-Hassanabad, Zahra, Chan, Catherine B.
Aims/hypothesis In uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) knockout (KO) mice, protection of beta cells from fatty acid exposure is dependent upon transcriptional events mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα). Methods PPARα expression was reduced in isolated islets from UCP2KO and...

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays normally give rise to certain percents of no-calls; the problem becomes severe when the target organisms, such as cattle, do not have a high resolution genomic sequence. Missing SNP genotypes, when related to target traits, would...

Fatty acid composition of developing sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) berry and the transcriptome of the mature seed
Download2012
Snyder, Crystal L., Schroeder, William R., Wishart, David, Cram, Dustin, Fatima, Tahira, Datla, Raju, Weselake, Randall J., Krisha, Priti
Background Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a hardy, fruit-producing plant known historically for its medicinal and nutraceutical properties. The most recognized product of sea buckthorn is its fruit oil, composed of seed oil that is rich in essential fatty acids, linoleic (18∶2ω-6) and...

Feasibility study of asset mapping with children: Identifying how the community environment shapes activity and food choices in Alexander First Nation
Download2013
Fehderau, David D., Willows, Noreen D., Ball, Geoff D., Holt, Nicholas L.
Introduction: It is estimated that First Nations children living on reserves are 4.5 times more likely to be obese than Canadian children in general. Many First Nations children living on reserves have limited healthy food and physical activity options. Understanding how community factors...

Fecal and urinary lignans, intrafollicular estradiol, and endometrial receptors in lactating dairy cows fed diets supplemented with hydrogenated animal fat, flax or sunflower seed
Download2008
Colazo, M. G., Okine, E. K. , Ambrose, D. J., Dyck, M. K., Oba, M., Thangavelu, G.
We hypothesized that the inclusion of flaxseed in the diets of lactating dairy cows will increase urinary and fecal concentrations of the lignans, secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG), enterolactone and enterodiol, reduce intrafollicular concentrations of IGF-I and estradiol, and subsequently...

Feeding a diet enriched in docosahexaenoic acid to lactating dams improves the tolerance response to egg protein in suckled pups
Download2016
Field, Catherine J., Lewis, Erin D., Richard, Caroline, Goruk, Susan
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding a maternal diet supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) during the suckling period on the development of the immune system and oral tolerance (OT) in offspring. Dams were randomized to consume one of two nutritionally...

Feeding long chain (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids to obese leptin receptor deficient JCR:LA-cp rats modifies immune function and lipid raft fatty acid composition
Download2009
Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D.
Dietary EPA and DHA modulate immunity and thereby may improve the aberrant immune function in obese states. To determine the effects of feeding fish oil (FO) containing EPA and DHA on splenocyte phospholipid (PL) and lipid-raft fatty acid composition, phenotypes and cytokine production,...
