ASSESSMENT OF HOW INTERNALIZED FORMS OF MOTIVATION MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUPPORTS FOR BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BEHAVIORS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The prevalence of obesity has increased steadily over the last 30 years and it is a growing concern for school, health and recreation providers. Decreases in time spent in physical activity and increased participation in ... -
Benzoate: The Quantitation of Soft Drinks Implicated in Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-26)Research has shown that childhood obesity is a leading cause of diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, and many more. With approximately 17 percent of the United ... -
Contractile activity restores insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle of obese Zucker rats.
(East Carolina University, 1993-01-15)Both insulin and contraction stimulate glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport is decreased in obese humans and rats. The aims of this study were (1) to determine if contraction-stimulated ... -
Does an integrated nutrition education program affect Body Mass Index and knowledge retention of fifth grade students?

Domain Specific Self-Efficacy Mediates the Impact of Pain Catastrophizing on Pain and Disability in Overweight and Obese Osteoarthritis Patients
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)This study examined whether self-efficacy mediated the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain and disability. Participants were 192 individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knees who were overweight ... -
EFFECT OF A TELEPHONE-BASED INTERVENTION ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND COMPONENTS OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IN ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a two month telephone-based intervention in obese adolescents (BMI percentile [greater than or equal to] 95th percentile) on physical activity habits and motivation ... -
Effect of Acute Exercise or Fasting on Mitochondrial Function and High Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance
(East Carolina University, 2009)A high-fat diet leads to an accumulation of lipid in skeletal muscle, and the development of both mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. Recently, our lab reported that lipid overload leads to elevated ... -
THE EFFECT OF CONTRACTILE ACTIVITY AND SUBSTRATE CHALLENGES ON METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY IN HUMAN PRIMARY MYOTUBES
(East Carolina University, 2013)The skeletal muscle of severely obese individuals (BMI > 40 kg/m²) is characterized by a depressed ability to oxidize fatty acids and a failure to upregulate fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in response to increased lipid ... -
Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation. J Appl Physiol 106: 1079â 1085, 2009. First published February 5, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.91262.2008. The ... -
Effects of High-Insulin Exposure on Mitochondrial Content in Skeletal Muscle Myotubes from Lean & Severely Obese Individuals: A Time Course Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-01)Skeletal muscle is the site at which highly regulated energetic processes take place as a means of maintaining both tissue-specific and whole-body metabolism. With the development of severe obesity (BMI [greater-than] or ... -
EFFECTS OF MODERATE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON THE ATTENUATION OF LEAN MASS LOSS DURING RAPID WEIGHT LOSS
(East Carolina University, 2013)Background: Obesity has become a severe issue in the United States, and gastric bypass surgery has been one of the most successful tools to combat the adverse consequences of this disease. The rapid weight loss associated ... -
Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2013)Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle by Lance M. Bollinger November, 2013 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Jeffrey J. Brault Major Department: Kinesiology ... -
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ... -
The Effects of School Sports Programs on Obesity in Adolescents
(2014)In the Southeastern United States, healthcare issues related to obesity in adolescents ages 13-18 years have become a growing concern. Along with an increasing body mass index in these adolescents comes many other comorbidities ... -
EXERCISE AND DIET PROGRAMS DROSOPHILA SIMULANS OFFSPRING METABOLIC PHENOTYPE
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-23)Obesity in pediatric patients has increased significantly in recent decades, along with susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. The relative contribution of genetic and ... -
EXPLORING THE ROLE OF ELEVATED LIPID PEROXIDATION AND GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE 4 IN METABOLIC SYNDROME AND CARDIAC REMODELING IN OBESITY
(5/16/2016)Cardiovascular disease continues to be a leading cause of global mortality. Metabolic perturbations including obesity, hyperlipidemia and type II diabetes arising from a western style diet and a more sedentary lifestyle ...
