In addition to the known behavioral and cognitive impairments, including memory deficits, depression, and anxiety associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), there is an increased risk for new onset heavy weekly drinking, binge...
Due to the nutritional and health benefits, the consumption of fish as an important dietary protein source is increasing. However, the benefits are not always received by everyone. Fish is one of the eight major allergenic foods or food...
The Relationship Between Nutritional Risk Factors, Nutritional Risk Indicators, and the Severity of Physical Disability within Older Adult Home Delivered Meal Program Participants
Science has established the existence of relationships between malnutrition and physical disability. Therefore, alleviating malnutrition may lead to prevention of physical disability and preservation of independent living. The purpose of...
Plant seed flours are applied in several foods; still an extensive comparative study of seed flour functional properties has not been performed to date. Purpose of the current investigation was to assess functional properties of 16 full...
Introduction: Heat stress is responsible for increases in all-cause mortality and results in thousands of deaths globally each year. These deaths occur both through active means (e.g. exertional heat stroke) and passive means (e.g. heat...
Background: Iron-containing micronutrient powders may increase the risk and severity of enteric infections. Unabsorbed iron in the lower intestine may increase severity of infection by promoting the growth of gram-negative enteric...
While protein has been extensively studied in older adults, not as much is known about the relationship of amino acids and functional health outcomes in this population. This cross-sectional study characterized usual intakes of total and...
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in United States (US) [1], and the inevitable process of aging, or one's age, remains the primary unmodifiable risk factor and independent predictor of CVD...
The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin mediates the hypoferremia of inflammation by binding to, occluding, and signaling for the degradation of ferroportin, the only known cellular iron exporter. A regulator for the hypozincemia observed...
Pulses play a significant health role in the human population, specifically some pulses contribute to low postprandial glycemic response. Although the commercial utilization of pulse protein is rapidly growing due to the demand for...
Background: Undernutrition and anemia are comorbid conditions. The anemia associated with undernutrition is often attributed to increased rates of infection; however, iron deficiency is also common in areas where undernutrition is...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death, with age being the strongest predictor of cardiovascular health. Age-related changes to the vasculature such as endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening are believed to...
Aging is associated with decreased synthesis and increased degradation of muscle, bone, and connective tissue, leading to decrements in body wide structure and function. This depression in tissue turnover can lead to sarcopenia in...
Adiponectin is a protein hormone most commonly produced by adipose tissue that has been found to play an important role in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. In this dissertation we hypothesize that adiponectin...
