Characterization of the glucose transport mechanism responsible for mechanical overload- and acute injury-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue. In response to stimuli such as resistance exercise training or trauma/injury, muscle glucose uptake is stimulated to fuel the energetic and biosynthetic demands of growth, ... -

Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Resistance exercise training is a recommended form of physical activity for people with type 2 diabetes due to its ability to increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Understanding how resistance training controls muscle ... -
Characterization of the Primary Starch Utilization Operon in the Obligate Anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis: Regulation by Carbon Source and Oxygen
(East Carolina University, 2006-07)The opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis is a commensal organism in the large intestine, where it utilizes both dietary and host-derived polysaccharides as a source of carbon and energy. In this study, a four-gene ... -
Characterization of the Role of Mcm10 in DNA Replication in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2013)Replication of the genome and proper formation, and packaging, of chromatin are processes essential to eukaryotic life. Maintenance of epigenetic chromatin states is essential for faithfully reproducing the transcriptional ... -
Characterization of the Vaccinia Virus A35R Protein and Its Role in Virulence
(East Carolina University, 2006-01)The vaccinia virus A35R gene is highly conserved among poxviruses and encodes a previously uncharacterized hydrophobic acidic protein. Western blotting with anti-A35R peptide antibodies indicated that the protein is ... -
Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2011)DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Vestibular Dysfunction in the Mouse Model for Usher Syndrome 1F
(East Carolina University, 2005-06)The deaf-circling Ames waltzer (av) mouse harbors a mutation in the protocadherin 15 (Pcdh15) gene and is a model for inner ear defects associated with Usher syndrome type 1F. Earlier studies showed altered cochlear hair ... -
Characterization of Wet-Heat Inactivation of Single Spores of Bacillus Species by Dual-Trap Raman Spectroscopy and Elastic Light Scattering
(2010-03)Dual-trap laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) and elastic light scattering (ELS) were used to investigate dynamic processes during high-temperature treatment of individual spores of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, ... -
Characterizations of Cross-Bridges in the Presence of Saturating Concentrations of MgAMP-PNP in Rabbit Permeabilized Psoas Muscle
(1998-06)Several earlier studies have led to different conclusions about the complex of myosin with MgAMP-PNP. It has been suggested that subfragment 1 of myosin (S1)-MgAMP-PNP forms an S1-MgADP-like state, an intermediate between ... -
Characterizing Angling Trends among Blue Marlin Anglers Following the 2008 Circle Hook Regulation
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-06)The blue marlin Makaira nigricans (Lacepède, 1802) is a highly migratory, large pelagic predator that is subject to overfishing as bycatch in longline fisheries and as game fish in recreational tournaments, such as the ... -
Characterizing Coastal Subenvironments with Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages: Bear Island and Bogue Banks, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ...
