    • ANIMAL MODEL FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY 

      Al-Naemi, Hamda; Das, Sandra Concepcion (2017 , Poster)
      Obesity has been recognized as a global health problem and linked with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular syndromes, musculoskeletal disorders and some cancers. Children exposed to high carbohydrate, ...

    • Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Tissue Injury 

      Das, Sandra Concepcion; Al-Naemi, Hamda A. ( Scientific Research Publishing , 2019 , Article Review)
      Cadmium is a known environmental pollutant targeting various organs. Often implicated in cadmium toxicology is the formation of reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the free radical scavenging mechanisms and inducing ...

    • Cadmium, an Environmental Contaminant with a Potential Role In Modulating Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases 

      Das, Sandra Concepcion (2020 , Master Thesis)
      Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is found in the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources. It is a xenobiotic environmental pollutant with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to ...

    • Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine. 

      Al-Naemi, Hamda A; Das, Sandra Concepcion ( Springer , 2020 , Article)
      Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ...

    • Cadmium: An Emerging Role in Adipose Tissue Dysfunction 

      Attia, Sarra Mohammed; Varadharajan, Kavitha; Shanmugakonar, Muralitharan; Das, Sandra Concepcion; Al-Naemi, Hamda A. ( Springer , 2021 , Article Review)
      Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is widespread in the environment due to the substantial anthropogenic inputs from the agriculture and industrial sectors. The toxic impact of Cd adversely affects human health and ...

    • Chronic Cadmium Exposure Alters Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Heart of Sprague-Dawley Rat 

      Das, Sandra Concepcion; Varadharajan, Kavitha; Shanmugakonar, Muralitharan; Al-Naemi, Hamda A. ( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)
      The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 15 ppm CdCl2 in drinking ...

    • ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE ACTIVITY & BIOAVAILABILITY DURING OBESITY CONDITIONS 

      Das, Sandra Concepcion; Al-Naemi, Hamda (2017 , Poster)
      Obesity has been recognized as a pandemic and linked with several metabolic dysfunctions. One of the hallmarks in the onset of obesity is the development of hypertension coupled with endothelial dysfunction. (ED) A fundamental ...

    • Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats 

      Varadharajan, Kavitha; Shanmugakonar, Muralitharan; Das, Sandra Concepcion; Al-Naemi, Hamda A. ( Scientific Research Publishing , 2018 , Article)
      Diet plays a major role in the body physiology and metabolism. The quantity, nature and stability of the macronutrients present in the diet have a major impact on the composition of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota plays a ...
