The Vegetarian/Flexitarian Diets, Derek Miketinas, Catherine M. Champagne Jan 2022

The Vegetarian/Flexitarian Diets, Derek Miketinas, Catherine M. Champagne

Population and Public Health Science Faculty Publications

Vegetarian diets are popular for their documented health benefits, ethical considerations, cost-effectiveness, and other perceived benefits. These diets can be nutritionally superior to the typical Western diet for reducing chronic disease risk including cardiovascular disease, obesity, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes. Although the health benefits of vegetarian diets are well documented, they are comparable to other diets that do not necessarily restrict animal products, such as the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and Mediterranean diets. Restricting entire food groups can present nutritional concerns, including potentially inadequate intakes of some micronutrients; however, the clinical manifestations of such deficiencies are …

The Mediterranean Diet: A Healthy Dietary Plan, George A. Bray, Catherine M. Champagne Jan 2022

The Mediterranean Diet: A Healthy Dietary Plan, George A. Bray, Catherine M. Champagne

Population and Public Health Science Faculty Publications

The concept of a Mediterranean diet can be attributed to Ancel Keys. His insights began the study of this dietary pattern and its many variations. Components of the Mediterranean diet have been described and compared to other high-quality diets. The health benefits from the diet have been examined in four separate categories. Central adiposity was significantly less in individuals adhering to a Mediterranean diet than those with poorer adherence scores to a Mediterranean diet. Substituting different types of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat for saturated fat, red meat, or carbohydrate significantly reduced body weight. The risk of developing diabetes and the …

Effects Of Maternal Diabetes And Diet On Gene Expression In The Murine Placenta, Claudia Kappen, Claudia Kruger, J. Michael Salbaum Jan 2022

Effects Of Maternal Diabetes And Diet On Gene Expression In The Murine Placenta, Claudia Kappen, Claudia Kruger, J. Michael Salbaum

Division of Basic Science Faculty Publications

Adverse exposures during pregnancy have been shown to contribute to susceptibility for chronic diseases in offspring. Maternal diabetes during pregnancy is associated with higher risk of pregnancy complications, structural birth defects, and cardiometabolic health impairments later in life. We showed previously in a mouse model that the placenta is smaller in diabetic pregnancies, with reduced size of the junctional zone and labyrinth. In addition, cell migration is impaired, resulting in ectopic accumulation of spongiotrophoblasts within the labyrinth. The present study had the goal to identify the mechanisms underlying the growth defects and trophoblast migration abnormalities. Based upon gene expression assays …

No Guts About It: Captivity, But Not Neophobia Phenotype, Influences The Cloacal Microbiome Of House Sparrows (Passer Domesticus), T. R. Kelly, A. E. Vinson, G. M. King, C. R. Lattin

Faculty Publications

Behavioral traits such as anxiety and depression have been linked to diversity of the gut microbiome in humans, domesticated animals, and lab-bred model species, but the extent to which this link exists in wild animals, and thus its eco- logical relevance, is poorly understood. We examined the relationship between a behavioral trait (neophobia) and the cloacal microbiome in wild house sparrows ( Passer domesticus, n = 22) to determine whether gut microbial diversity is related to per- sonality in a wild animal. We swabbed the cloaca immediately upon capture, assessed neophobia phenotypes in the lab, and then swabbed the cloaca …

The Development Of A Well-Being Program For Occupational Therapy Graduate Students, Stacy Smallfield, Emma Burry, Kelsey M. Lawrence, Kathy M. Yang, Katherine M. Chin, Hannahmarie Klute

Journal of Occupational Therapy Education

High levels of stress among occupational therapy graduate students have led to the adoption of unhealthy coping habits such as poor nutrition, little exercise, and disrupted sleep. In response, many institutions have explored programming and even curricular changes to support student well-being. However, very few are built upon a strong theoretical foundation to address holistic well-being. Therefore, this paper describes how logic modeling was used to develop a student well-being program based on Facilitating Learning and Occupational Well-Being Using Research-Based Initiatives for Student Health (FLOURISH), a theoretical approach rooted in the Person-Environment-Occupation Performance Model.

High-Sugar Adapted Drosophila Melanogaster Display Differences In Feeding Behavior, Melina Brunelli Jan 2022

High-Sugar Adapted Drosophila Melanogaster Display Differences In Feeding Behavior, Melina Brunelli

Research Days Posters 2022

Overnutrition due to chronic high-sugar (HS) feeding has been shown to reduce lifespan and elicit type II diabetes-like pathophysiology phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster. We are using an experimental evolution approach in large, outbred Drosophila populations using a HS diet as the selective pressure. This has produced rapid phenotypic adaptation including a significant increase in survival for selected flies on the HS diet. One mechanism by which flies might reduce the effects of a HS diet would be to reduce consumption. Thus, we hypothesized that there would be differences in feeding behavior between control and adapted populations. Four control and four …
