Development of mechanistic models of transition periods between lag/exponential and exponential/stationary phases
(2016)
Nowadays, primary mathematical models are widely accepted as a tool for quantitative food microbiology. Such models are being used in conjunction with curve-fitting software to evaluate food-associated microbial growth. ...
Evaluation of the Simple Wetting Method to Reduce Total Cyanogens in Flaxseed
(2016)
A simple wetting method used to significantly reduce the % total cyanide remaining (TCR) in cassava was evaluated for its applicability to flaxseed. An optimal simple wetting method (SWM) in terms of time, temperature, ...
VITAMIN D STATUS IN RELATION TO DIETARY INTAKE, SUN EXPOSURE OBESITY, LIFESTYLE FACTORS AND BONE HEALTH AMONG SAUDI PREMENPOUSAL WOMEN LIVING IN JEDDAH CITY
(2016)
Saudi women are at risk of vitamin D deficiency and low bone mass because traditional clothing and time spent indoors limit sun exposure. However, no information about other contributing individual, demographic, and cultural ...
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY AND PERCEIVED BARRIERS TO WEIGHT MAINTENANCE AMONG SAUDI WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE IN JEDDAH CITY.
(2016)
The prevalence of obesity is significantly higher in Saudi women (33.5%) than men (24.1%), however, the information surrounding the risk factors of obesity and barriers to maintaining a healthy weight among Saudi women of ...
The effect of folic acid and its metabolites on human colorectal cancer cells
(2016)
In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of death from cancer. Promising research has shown the chemopreventive effects of folic acid (FA) on CRC. Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that ...
ANTICANCER MECHANISM OF TOLFENAMIC ACID IN COLORECTAL CANCER
(2016)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Chemopreventive therapies could be effective way to treat CRC. Tolfenamic acid, one of the NSAIDs, shows anti-cancer activities ...
NECK CIRCUMFERENCE AS A NEW ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICATOR FOR PREDICTION OF CARDIOMETABOLIC RISKS IN SAUDI POPULATION
(2016)
Background: Recent studies have associated neck circumference (NC) with metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk factors. No studies designed to examine NC as a measure of cardiometabolic risks have been performed in Saudi ...
Development and Application of Predictive Models for Survival, Growth, and Death of Enteric Pathogens in Leafy Greens Supply Chain
(2016)
Leafy greens are essential part of a healthy diet. Because of their health benefits, production and consumption of leafy greens has increased considerably in the U.S. in the last few decades. However, leafy greens are also ...
THE PROATHEROGENIC ROLE OF THE TRPV4 CALCIUM-PERMEABLE CHANNEL IN MACROPHAGES
(2016)
Atherosclerosis is a multi-faceted chronic disease and one of the leading causes of cardiovascular diseases which attribute to 28.2% of all-cause mortality worldwide. Central tenets of atherogenesis are macrophage passage ...
CONTROL OF SIZE AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF CARBOXYL-FUNCTIONALIZED MAGNETITE PARTICLES: SYNTHESIS PROCEDURES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, AND APPLICATIONS
(2016)
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are known for the unique properties conferred by their small size and have found wide application in food safety analyses. However, their high surface energy and strong magnetization often ...
