Disruption of mitochondrial fitness in human preadipocytes by fatty acids
(East Carolina University, 2013)Adipose tissue lies at the core of energy metabolism, by not only releasing and taking up fatty acids (FA) according to the individuals overall surplus or deficit of energy, but also signaling other tissues to regulate ... -
Effects of Exercise Training on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Obese Humans
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is a dynamic organ that has a tremendous ability to remodel in the face of increased energy intake. In obesity, alterations to SAT may lead to metabolic dysfunction and increased risk for ... -
IL-15 : A NOVEL REGULATOR OF LIPOLYSIS IN HUMANS?
(East Carolina University, 2014)Interactions between and within organ systems such as skeletal muscle (SkM) and adipose tissue (AT), via immune cell signaling factors (cytokines), may regulate the development of obesity. The increased expression and ... -
Influence of Perivascular Adipose Tissue on Central Arterial Mechanics and Hemodynamics: A Parametric Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical influence of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) on arterial wall mechanics and hemodynamics, which are key regulators in cardiovascular disease progression. Fluid-structure ... -
Obese Children Have a Lower Lipolytic Response to an Acute Bout of Exercise When Compared to Lean
(East Carolina University, 2010)Over 17% of American children are obese. These are epidemic proportions considering the associated risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Excess fat is caused from an imbalance in energy stored versus energy expended. ... -
The Region Specific Influence of Estradiol on In-Vivo Lipolysis in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Overweight-to-Moderately-Obese Premenopausal Women
(East Carolina University, 2012)Premenopausal women demonstrate preferential accumulation of adiposity in the gynoid region, a distribution which shifts towards the abdominal region after the menopausal transition. Although estrogen is implicated as a ...
