DIETARY FLAVONOIDS REDUCE CARCINOGEN-INDUCED DNA DAMAGE IN BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS IN VITRO
(2022-08-08)The potential of selected flavonoids in reducing carcinogen-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage through the activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2 p45 (NF-E2)-related factor (Nrf2)/antioxidant response ... -
DIETARY GRAPE POMACE AND RED OSIER DOGWOOD EXTRACT – EFFECTS ON THE GROWTH AND INTESTINAL HEALTH OF BROILER CHICKENS
(2022-08-31)With the relentless search for antibiotic alternatives, phytogenic additives have shown such alternative potential. Three experiments were undertaken to study the effect of grape pomace (GP) and red osier dogwood (ROD) ... -
The dietary phytochemical myricetin induces ROS-dependent breast cancer cell death
(2016-01-19)Myricetin is a dietary phytochemical found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Myricetin has several anti-cancer effects on human cancer cells, including bladder, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers; however, the effect ... -
Dietary supplementation of haskap berry (Lonicera caerulea L.) anthocyanin-rich fraction and probiotics attenuates the severity of dextran sulfate sodium-induced acute colitis in Balb/C mice
(2023-04-14)Haskap (Lonicera caerulea L.) berry is a rich dietary source of anthocyanins with anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed at investigating the supplementation of haskap anthocyanin-rich fraction alone or with ... -
The Difference a Discourse Makes: Fisheries and Oceans Policy and Coastal Communities in the Canadian Maritime Provinces
(2013-09-11)A new approach to oceans and coastal governance – influenced by ecosystem-based management and resilience thinking, by spatial approaches to management and by decentralized or participatory governance – a policy of integrated ... -
Differentiae in the Cantus Manuscript Database: A Cross-Manuscript Analysis
(2019-08-19)The differentia standardization project for the Cantus Manuscript Database enables previously unfeasible comparisons of 159 manuscripts from the tenth to the seventeenth centuries containing a total of 129,526 antiphons ... -
DIFFERENTIAL CODE SHIFT REFERENCE IMPULSE RADIO ULTRA-WIDEBAND TRANSCEIVER: BIT ERROR RATE TESTS AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
(2015)Impulse radio is a wireless communication technique in which ultra-short pulses in the range of nano-seconds are used for the transmission of information. These ultrashort pulses spread over the radio frequency spectrum ... -
Differential Code-Shifted Reference Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Receiver: Signal Strength Adjustment and Implementation
(2014-05-02)IR-UWB is a wireless system, which sends information data with pulses that have rapid rising and falling time and very short duration of nanosecond or less. However, due to varying communication channel conditions, amplitude ... -
Differential Code-Shifted Reference Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Receiver: Timing Recovery and Digital Implementation
(2012-08-15)Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a wireless system which transmits signals across a much wider frequency spectrum than traditional wireless systems. The impulse radio (IR) UWB technique uses ultra-short duration pulses of nanoseconds ... -
