Selenium compounds activate early barriers of tumorigenesis
(2011)
Selenium chemoprevention by apoptosis has been well studied, but it is not clear whether selenium can activate early barriers of tumorigenesis, namely senescence and DNA damage response. To test this hypothesis, we treated ...
Pathogenic Escherichia coli in retail meats
(2010)
Pathogenic <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>, including diarrheagenic <italic>E. coli</italic> (DEC) and extraintestinal pathogenic <italic>E. coli</italic> (ExPEC), cause numerous human infections annually. Retail meats ...
Promotion of Value-Added Uses of Soybeans
(2011)
Soybeans contain a wealth of health-promoting phytochemicals, the amounts of which are known to vary considerably across genotypes and growing conditions. The present work is dedicated to better understand these variations ...
BIOLOGICAL EFFICACY, MECHANISMS OF ACTIONS OF SOY-DERIVED PHYTOALEXIN GLYCEOLLINS IN PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES
(2014)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in U.S. male population. Diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and chronic inflammation promote the development ...
Fructose intake and circulating triglycerides: An examination of the role of APOC3
(2014)
Fructose consumption can lead to marked increases in plasma triglycerides in both humans and laboratory animals. We have observed that overnight access to a 16% fructose solution can promote hypertriglyceridemia in rats. ...
MICROBIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF ORGANIC PRODUCE PRE- AND POST- HARVEST ON MARYLAND FARMS AND IMPACT OF GROWING AND HANDLING METHODS ON EPIPHYTIC BACTERIA
(2014)
Although the consumption of organic produce has dramatically increased in recent years and many outbreaks continue to occur, the microbiological safety of organic produce has not been fully assessed. This study generated ...
Assessment of Metabolic Syndrome in a sample of Central and South Americans living in the Washington, D.C. area
(2010)
The Central/South American population is growing rapidly in the U.S., but little is known about the health status. The purpose of this study was 1) to estimate the prevalence of MS and its individual components, 2) compare ...
THE EFFECTS OF SUGAR INTAKE ON ENERGY CONTROL
(2015)
Long term use of sugars can induce excess caloric intake and/or obesity. To evaluate the effects of sugar intake on different regions of the hypothalamus (the brain's control center for energy homeostasis) we first developed ...
ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES IN MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF FOODBORNE PATHOGENS: SHIGA TOXIN-PRODUCING Escherichia coli AND Salmonella SEROTYPES
(2014)
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica (S. enterica) are two major foodborne pathogens. They cause almost 1.5 million of cases of disease each year in the US. Due to their public ...
Room Calorimetry as a Method of Measuring Metabolic Flexibility
(2015)
Metabolic flexibility is commonly measured as the change in respiratory quotient (RQ) from the fasted state to the insulin-stimulated state. This measurement is performed using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and hood ...
