(Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2014-09-04)
Background: A comprehensive study of what individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are eating that encompasses food avoidance, dietary sugar consumption, and a comparison with the non-IBD Canadian population has ...
Developing Global Leaders for Research, Regulation and Stewardship of Crop Protection Chemistry in the 21st Century
(ACS Publications, 2015-04-09)
To provide sufficient food and fiber to the increasing global population, the technologies associated with crop protection are growing ever more sophisticated but, at the same time, societal expectations for the safe use ...
Thymol improves barrier function and attenuates inflammatory responses in porcine intestinal epithelial cells during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation
(2018-12-19)
It is well known that essential oil thymol exhibits anti-bacterial activity. The protective effects of thymol on pig intestine during inflammation is yet to be investigated. In this study, an in vitro (LPS)-induced ...
Development of novel microparticles for effective delivery of thymol and lauric acid to pig intestinal tract
(2018-08-24)
Antibiotics have been widely supplemented in feeds at sub-therapeutic concentrations to prevent post-weaning diarrhea and increase the overall productivity of pigs. However, the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria ...
Predators and alate immigration influence the season-long dynamics of soybean aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
(Elsevier, 2018)
The identification of key species within multi-predator assemblages suppressing
agricultural pests is paramount to the incorporation of predators into pest management plans. Generalist predators have strong impacts on ...
The diversity and biogeography of the Coleoptera of Churchill: insights from DNA barcoding
(2013-10-29)
Abstract
Background
Coleoptera is the most diverse order of insects (>300,000 described species), but its richness diminishes at increasing latitudes (e.g., ca. 7400 species recorded in Canada), ...
Phytosterols protect against diet-induced hypertriglyceridemia in Syrian golden hamsters
(2014-01-06)
Abstract
Background
In addition to lowering LDL-C, emerging data suggests that phytosterols (PS) may reduce blood triglycerides (TG), however, the underlying mechanisms are not known.

Response to commentary on a trial comparing krill oil versus fish oil
(2014-01-22)
Abstract
Nichols et al. (Lipids Health Dis 13:2, 2014) raised concern about the higher n-6 concentration in fish oil used in our recent study which is different from typical commercial fish oils (Ramprasath et al. ...
Identification and characterization of the three homeologues of a new sucrose transporter in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2013-11-16)
Abstract
Background
Sucrose transporters (SUTs) play important roles in regulating the translocation of assimilates from source to sink tissues. Identification and characterization of new SUTs ...
Enhanced increase of omega-3 index in healthy individuals with response to 4-week n-3 fatty acid supplementation from krill oil versus fish oil
(2013-12-05)
Abstract
Background
Due to structural differences, bioavailability of krill oil, a phospholipid based oil, could be higher than fish oil, a triglyceride-based oil, conferring properties that ...
