        Cystathionine gamma-lyase/hydrogen sulfide system and glucose homeostasis 

        Zhang, Ling (2013-02-12)
        Research in the last twenty years has transformed the role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) being perceived from a toxic gas to a gaso-transmitter with diverse physiological and pathological significance. Cystathionine gamma-lyase ...

        Detection and characterization of DNA damage 

        Reguly, Brian (2009)
        The DNA molecule is constantly subjected to endogenous and exogenous sources of damage which if left unrepaired can lead to genotoxic and cytotoxic outcomes. These lesions have been implicated in the development of numerous ...

        Developing a Multiplex PCR Platform to Determine the Virulence Genes of Escherichia Coli in Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay, Ontario 

        Albalawi, Sultanah
        Given the evidence that E. coli can establish in the periphytic community and be released back into the water column, it is important to understand the pathogenicity of this group of E. coli by examining the virulence genes ...

        Diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy 

        Agostino, Martina Nicole (2019)
        Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. In the ...

        Differential response of two common human papillomavirus 16 E6 variants to small interfering RNA 

        Togtema, Melissa (2014-01-22)
        High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV16, are implicated in causing virtually all cases of cervical cancer. Molecular therapies capable of targeting HPV16 E6 oncoprotein expression can selectively eliminate ...

        Effect of biofilm and the role of rpoS on the survival of a p-Nitrophenol-degrading Pseudomonas putida / by Miranda Maki. 

        Maki, Miranda (2008)
        Pseudomonas putida is a Gram negative bacterium that can be found naturally in the environment as planktonic free-living cells, or in concert with other bacterial species in biofilms. In this study, the P. putida strain ...

        Effect of periphytic Escherichia coli and lake water bacterial population on the biofilm establishment of a Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain 

        MacDonald, Tallie Anne (2015)
        Biofilm studies Escherichia coli (E. coli) have typically focused on 0157:H7 in defined, laboratory medium. While there is value in such studies, they offer little in the way of explaining the behaviour and interactions ...

        The effect of polyphenols on the angiotensin II receptor type 1 activation 

        Kirk, Stefanie (2017)
        Hypertension, an increase in blood pressure, can lead to many serious complications, one of which is heart failure. Angiotensin (Ang) II is associated with hypertension; specifically, the Ang II receptor type 1 (AGTR1) is ...

        The effect of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside on oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiac iron overload 

        Puukila, Stephanie (2013-02-01)
        Chronic cardiac iron overload directly correlates with cardiac dysfunction and may ultimately cause heart failure. Although recent studies have suggested that altered calcium homeostasis and increased reactive oxygen ...
