Linden (Tilia spp.), a profusely flowering temperate tree that provides bees with vital pollen and nectar, has been associated with bumble bee (Bombus spp.) mortality in Europe and North America. Bee deaths have been attributed, with inadequate evidence, to toxicity from mannose in nectar or starvation due to low nectar...
Diet History Questionnaires (DHQ) can only provide general information about a person’s nutritional intake. It is unable to cluster groups of people based on diets or lifestyles, nor identify specific foods that may play a role in disease prevention. The aim of this study was to validate the use of...

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and a risk
factor for cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Previously, we reported that dietary docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 22:6,n-3) was more effective than eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5,n-3) at reversing western diet (WD)
induced NASH in LDLR-/-...

The differentiation of precursor cells into mature adipocytes (adipogenesis) has been an area of increased focus, spurred by a rise in obesity rates. Though our understanding of adipogenesis and its regulation at the cellular level is growing, many questions remain, especially regarding the regulation of the metabolome. The 3T3-L1 cell...

Meniscal tears are a common cause of stifle lameness in dogs. Use of autologous
synoviocytes from the affected stifle is an attractive cell source for tissue engineering
replacement fibrocartilage. However, the diseased state of these cells may impede
in vitro fibrocartilage formation. Synoviocytes from 12 osteoarthritic (“oaTSB”) and
6 normal...

SCOPE: Aim of the study was to identify and monitor metabolite markers of dry bean consumption
in parallel human and mouse studies that each had shown chemopreventive effects of dry
bean consumption on colorectal neoplasia risk.
METHODS and RESULTS: Using LC/mass spectroscopy ± ESI and GC/mass spectroscopy, serum
metabolites of...
