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 ... -
Food, health, and complexity: towards a conceptual understanding to guide collaborative public health action
(BioMed Central, 2016-06-08)Background: What we eat simultaneously impacts our exposure to pathogens, allergens, and contaminants, our nutritional status and body composition, our risks for and the progression of chronic diseases, and other outcomes. ... -
An Obese Genotype Affects Apoptosis Related Gene Expression
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-15)Apoptosis is a genetically regulated form of cell death that occurs when the cell is exposed to physiological, pathogenic, or cytotoxic stimuli. Unregulated apoptosis (too much or too little apoptosis) at any time from ... -
The Role of Sarcolipin in Calcium Handling and Obesity
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)Sarcolipin (SLN), a small molecular weight, hydrophobic protein found in skeletal muscle, is a known regulator of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) pumps. Earlier in vitro reconstitution experiments have ... -
School Beverage Contracts & Childhood Obesity: A Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The objective of this study was to describe the issue of school beverage contracts and childhood obesity from the perspectives of a broad group of stakeholders. Specifically, the perspectives concerning contracts in two ...
