Developmental signaling and acute lung injury
(2014-05)
The present study is initiated to explore the potential implication of developmental signaling in AEC I injury, acute inflammatory response, and host defense against pathogen invasion during the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS.
Metabolic Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Oklahoma Adults with Abdominal Adiposity and Dyslipidemia: a Cross-sectional Study.
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Dietary intakes of fruits and vegetables have been shown to lower risks of cardiovascular complications in both epidemiological and clinical studies. In particular, the polyphenol subclass of flavonoids has been found to ...
Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Oklahoma Grapes
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)
Many debilitating chronic conditions are linked to chronic inflammation. Recent studies have indicated that a relationship exists between phenolic compounds found in grapes and the reduction of chronic inflammation. The ...
Effects of Digitaria exilis (Fonio) on inflammation and diabetes pathogenesis
(2011-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Digitaria exilis (fonio), a wild cereal consumed in West Africa, is rich in chromium, B-glucans and sulfur amino acids, factors known to modulate inflammation and diabetes. However the mechanisms ...
Effect of whole foods on the gut-adipose axis in models of diet-induced obesity: The case of wheat germ and pinto beans
(2019-12)
The global alteration in food supply characterized by increased western-style diets (high in saturated fat and refined sugar) is a major driver of the obesity epidemic. Western diets disrupt the host-gut bacteria homeostasis, ...
Effects of wheat germ supplementation on inflammation, metabolic, and gut health markers in overweight adults
(2021-07)
Objectives: Overweight and obesity is linked to several metabolic disturbances including type 2 diabetes. Functional foods such as wheat germ (WG) have been shown to improve metabolic markers in animals and humans alike. ...
Characterization of Cell-free Dna in the Bloodstream of Normal Individuals and Those with Inflammation
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)
The presence of DNA in the plasma of humans has been known since 1948. The pathway that leads to the liberation of DNA from the cell still remains open to debate. . Scientists have proposed the following mechanisms underlying ...
Effects of Blueberry Supplementation and Dietary Flavonoid Intakes on Antioxidant Status and Inflammation
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)
The objective of our study was to investigate the effects of blueberry flavonoids on inflammation and antioxidant status in subjects identified with Metabolic Syndrome. Nineteen subjects identified with metabolic syndrome ...
Genistein Reduces Production of Proinflammatory Molecules in Human Chondrocytes
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-05-01)
Previously, we reported that cartilage is an estrogen receptor (ER) positive tissue and that mRNA levels of ER increase in postmenopausal women with osteoarthritis. Based on our findings and those of other investigators, ...
Effects of Pomegranate Polyphenol Supplementation on Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Versus Healthy Controls
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
Pomegranates have significant anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hypertensive, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory effects. We tested the hypothesis that pomegranate polyphenols will not affect fasting blood glucose, insulin, ...
