C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in ... -
Ca2+ and Ionic Strength Dependencies of S1-ADP Binding to Actin-Tropomyosin-Troponin: Regulatory Implications
(East Carolina University, 2004-09)Skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction are inhibited by the actin-associated complex of tropomyosin-troponin. Binding of Ca21 to troponin or binding of ATP-free myosin to actin reverses this inhibition. Ca21 and ATP-free ... -
Cadherins in maternal-foetal interactions: red queen with a green beard?
(East Carolina University, 2005-03-22)Cadherins are homophilic cell surface adhesion proteins, some of which mediate interactions between maternal and foetal tissues during mammalian pregnancy. David Haig suggested that these proteins may exhibit ‘green-beard ... -
Cadmium
(2016-08-26)Cadmium is a soft and malleable metal which has several properties that allow it to be used in many ways. Manufacturing workers who are exposed to cadmium have higher rates of lung and prostate cancers. There is a weak ... -
CADMIUM AND LEAD INTERACTIONS WITH EF-HAND PROTEINS: AN INTRINSIC FLUORESCENCE STUDY
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)Toxic metal exposure is an increasingly important issue that is impacting a growing population. Frequent exposure can lead to adverse health effects such as cognitive impairment in children, diabetes, and cardiovascular ... -
CAFFEINE INTAKE AMONG LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PARTICIPATING IN SHIFT WORK
(East Carolina University, 2013)Objective: To investigate caffeine consumption among law enforcement officers during day shifts (DAY) and night shifts (NIGHT); to assess the types of caffeine-containing products and the frequency of product intake during ... -
Calcium Dependent CAMTA1 in Adult Stem Cell Commitment to a Myocardial Lineage
(2012)The phenotype of somatic cells has recently been found to be reversible. Direct reprogramming of one cell type into another has been achieved with transduction and over expression of exogenous defined transcription factors ... -
Calculating and Coaching School Organizational Health
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-01)To date, most studies of teacher turnover in high-poverty schools have focused on the characteristics of the students and their teachers, rather than on the organizational health of the schools where they teach. The purpose ... -
Calibrating TrueBeam jaws by considering collimator walk out to improve the dose uniformity at abutting field junctions
(2019-01-11)Jaw positions on a linear accelerator are calibrated to have accurate field size values over the range of jaw positions and to have excellent junctions when matching fields. It is sufficient to have field size accuracy on ... -
Calling All Academic Music Library Reference Desks: A Follow-Up Study
(2008-08-08)The East Carolina University Music Library established regularly staffed reference desk service and studied whether the presence of a reference desk increased patron comfort level in seeking assistance even when the ... -
A Calorimetric and Spectroscopic Study of the Interactions Between Model Lipid Membrane Bilayers and Simple Sugars
(East Carolina University, 2015)It is well known that various organisms, such as the tardigrade, naturally use carbohydrates, particularly disaccharides, to help preserve their cell structural and functional integrity during freezing or dehydration. There ... -
Calorimetric and Spectroscopic Tools Used to Study Pb2+ Binding to Human Cardiac Troponin C: A Mini-Review
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-06)Toxic metal exposure is linked to a variety of health issues including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It is known that toxic metals are capable of mimicking essential metals for binding sites in proteins. It is also ... -
Calpain inhibition rescues troponin T3 fragmentation, increases Cav1.1, and enhances skeletal muscle force in aging sedentary mice
(2016-02-19)Loss of strength in human and animal models of aging can be partially attributed to a well-recognized decrease in muscle mass; however, starting at middle-age, the normalized force (force/ muscle cross-sectional area) in ...
