Short communication: Rapid separation of cis9, trans11- and trans7,cis9-18:2 (CLA) isomers from ruminant tissue using a 30 m SLB-IL111 ionic column
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2011-12)
[EN]Rumenic acid (cis9,trans11-18:2) is the main natural isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Rumenic acid has many purported health benefits, but effects of most other CLA isomers are unknown. Typically trans7,cis9-18:2 ...

(MDPI, 2015-07)
The purpose of the present work was both to analyze composition of Spanish celiac women and to study the food habits and gluten-free diet of these celiac patients, in order to determine whether they achieve a balanced and ...
Increased antiparkinson efficacy of the combined administration of VEGF- and GDNF-loaded nanospheres in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease
(Dove Medical Press, 2014)
Current research efforts are focused on the application of growth factors, such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as neuroregenerative approaches that will ...
An Overview on the Field of Micro- and Nanotechnologies for Synthetic Peptide-Based Vaccines
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
The development of synthetic peptide-based vaccines has many advantages in comparison with vaccines based on live attenuated organisms, inactivated or killed organism, or toxins. Peptide-based vaccines cannot revert to a ...
Stability of the factorial structure of metabolic syndrome from childhood to adolescence : a 6-year follow-up study
(BioMed Central, 2011-09-21)
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors that is considered a predictor of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and mortality. There is no consistent evidence on whether the ...
Review: Trans-forming beef to provide healthier fatty acid profiles
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2011-12)
[EN]Trans fatty acids are found naturally in foods, particularly in those derived from ruminant animals, such as beef and dairy cattle. Over the past few decades, human consumption of trans fatty acids has increased, but ...
Extended ageing time and temperature effects on quality of sub-primal cuts of boxed beef
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-09)
[EN]Most of the information indicating ageing improves tenderness has been collected on the loin and rib-eye muscles over relatively short ageing times, assuming that all muscles will react similarly. In the present study, ...

(Elsevier, 2012)
This study was designed to compare the quality of veal produced from ‘Tudanca x Charolais’ cross (n=6) and Limousin (n=6) breeds when allowed to feed freely on mountain pastures and suckle naturally from birth to 7 months ...
Evaluation of wheat or corn dried distillers' grains with solubles on performance and carcass characteristics of feedlot steers
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-06)
[EN]A study was conducted on crossbred steers (n=275; 376±924 kg) to evaluate performance and carcass quality of cattle fed wheat or corn dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS). The control ration contained 86.6% ...
Dietary vitamin E inhibits the trans 10-18:1 shift in beef backfat
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010-03)
[EN]Forty feedlot steers were fed a barleygrain-based finishing diet typical for western Canada, with two levels of supplementary vitamin E (468 or 1068 IU head_1 d_1) and the effect on backfat trans-18:1 isomeric profile ...
