Adverse uterine environments experienced during fetal development can alter the projected growth pattern of various organs and systems of the body, leaving the offspring at an increased risk of metabolic disease. The thrifty phenotype hypothesis has been demonstrated as an alteration to the...

Gillies, C., Alexander Research Committee, Farmer, A., Maximova, K., Willows, N.D.
Aim: School nutrition policies can improve healthy food access for Indigenous First Nations children in Canada. This study explored First Nations students’ perceptions of a school nutrition policy. Methods: The research was a process evaluation of school nutrition policy implementation using a...

Food protein-stabilized nanoemulsions as potential delivery systems for poorly water-soluble drugs: Preparation, in vitro characterization and pharmacokinetics in rats
Download2011
He, Wei, Tian, Zhiqiang, Wu, Wei, Hu, Fuqiang, Chen, Lingyun, Tan, Yanan
Nanoemulsions stabilized by traditional emulsifiers raise toxicological concerns for long-term treatment. The present work investigates the potential of food proteins as safer stabilizers for nanoemulsions to deliver hydrophobic drugs. Nanoemulsions stabilized by food proteins (soybean protein...

Formulating food protein-stabilized indomethacin nanosuspensions into pellets by fluid-bed coating technology: Physical characterization, redispersibility, and dissolution
Download2013
Yin, Lifang, Wu, Wei, He, Wei, Chen, Lingyun, Lu, Yi, Qi, Jianping
Background: Drug nanosuspensions are very promising for enhancing the dissolution and bioavailability of drugs that are poorly soluble in water. However, the poor stability of nanosuspensions, reflected in particle growth, aggregation/agglomeration, and change in crystallinity state greatly...

Chronic exposure to elevated free fatty acids (lipotoxicity) induces uncoupling protein (UCP2) in the pancreatic β-cell, and therefore a causal link between UCP2 and β-cell defects associated with obesity may exist. Recently, we showed that lipid treatment in vivo and in vitro in UCP2(–/–)...

Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) is often based on a functional or statistical model of gene action involving two alleles per locus. Such model is adequate for mapping populations derived from a cross between two inbred lines as in many plants and some laboratory animals and for di-allelic...

Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...

Field, Catherine J., Schnabl, Kareena L., Clandinin M. Thomas
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids found in cell membranes and human milk with important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, growth, adhesion, migration, signalling and apoptosis. Similar changes in ganglioside composition occur during embryonic development, lactation and cancer cell...
