Development of protein level cytokine assays and assessment of the impact of implanted Acoustic Telemetry Tags on the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) immune system
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-06)Telemetry tags are a widely used technology for tracking animals that are difficult to observe in their natural environment. This technology has been increasingly used to monitor and study populations of high value salmonid ... -
Effects of acute exercise and voluntary freewheel exercise in mice on pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers of apoptosis in the hippocampus
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementias constitute a significant public health burden and it is estimated that one in 85 people may be living with AD by 2050. Dementias are a spectrum of diseases with common ... -
Evaluation of glucose metabolism in breast cancer patients following a combined aerobic and resistance exercise intervention
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients typically present with impaired glucose metabolism at diagnosis. Given that increased fat mass and decreased lean mass develop throughout the treatment trajectory and into survivorship, ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent and pharmaceutical exposure on innate cytokine expression of darters (Etheostoma spp.) in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various stressors and antigenic material present within their environments. The impact of stressors associated with wastewater-exposed environments on native ... -
In Vitro Release of Inflammatory Cytokines from Contact Lens Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)The upregulation of inflammatory mediators in the tear film during contact lens wear indicates that lens wear may induce an inflammatory response on the ocular surface. Previous research has investigated the relationship ... -
Investigating the impacts of diurnal temperature and venlafaxine exposure in zebrafish
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-29)Increased intensity and frequency of heat waves is predicted to have detrimental impacts on aquatic organisms. Thermal variability coupled with exposure to xenobiotic stress could place significant strain on the thermal ...
