This research will measure the intrinsic properties of the fats,...
This $150,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to define the mechanism by which the fatty acid oleic acid enhances lipid accumulation and improves mitochondrial function in bovine adipocytes (fat cells) of dairy cows. The research aims to determine if this mechanism reduces oxidative damage during lipolysis (fat breakdown) in the transition period, when dairy cows...
This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture provides $649,988 to Tufts University School of Medicine to study the role of fruits and vegetables in preventing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The three-year award beginning in April 2022 will fund research under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA #10.310). Specifically, the grantee aims to further investigate the mechanisms...
The project grant award of $597,983 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research at Chapman University to examine the impact of protein-polyphenol interactions on the structure, functional properties, and nutritional value of oilseed protein isolates. The goal is to enhance the quality of sunflower protein isolates and concentrates by controlling these interactions using chemical and enzymatic...
This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant supports a research project led by the University of Utah to investigate the mechanisms that pathogenic plant bacteria employ to target and kill competing microbes on plants, while avoiding harm to their own species. The goal is to elucidate the molecular basis for the killing specificity of these bacterial weapons,...
