Development of a novel mass-selected internal positive chemical ionization quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry technique for the quantitative analysis of isotopic polyunsaturated fatty acids
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-28)Analytical instrumentation for quantitative in vivo stable isotope metabolic studies has included gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS). ... -
Examination of the Effects of Sex and Sex Hormones on Monounsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have been viewed as either beneficial or neutral with respect to health; however, recent evidence suggests that MUFA may be associated with obesity and cardiovascular disease. Sex differences ... -
Examination of Voluntary Wheel Running and Skeletal Muscle Metabolism in the Sarcolipin Knock-Out Mouse
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)Sarcolipin (SLN) is a small sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) integral membrane protein that regulates the SR Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). Previous studies indicate that the functional interaction between SLN and SERCA is thermogenic ... -
Investigation of Flavoproteins Involved in the Metabolism of Anaerobic Hyperthermophilic Microorganisms
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-12)It was estimated that more than one hundred open reading frames in Pyrococcus furiosus and Thermotoga maritima could encode flavoproteins based on the results of motif search and comparison of genomic annotation to the ... -
Investigation of Sf-9 Cell Metabolism Before and After Baculovirus Infection Using Biovolume: a Case for the Improvement of Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Production
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-07)Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have been shown to be potential vectors for the treatment of diseases, including protocols using RNA interference (RNAi). AAV vector production in insect cells using the baculovirus ... -
Math and the Fountain of Youth
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-10)Ageing is associated with impairments in a number of regulatory processes, including in energy dysregulation that affects multiple metabolic pathways and in the circadian rhythms. In the management of metabolic stress ... -
Stress and metabolic responses to municipal wastewater effluent exposure in rainbow trout effluent
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)Municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE) is an important source of pollution in the aquatic environment impacting fish. MWWE is a complex mixture of chemicals including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, industrial ...
