Superdormant Spores of Bacillus Species Have Elevated Wet-Heat Resistance and Temperature Requirements for Heat Activation
(East Carolina University, 2009-09)
Purified superdormant spores of Bacillus cereus, B. megaterium, and B. subtilis isolated after optimal heat activation of dormant spores and subsequent germination with inosine, D-glucose, or L-valine, respectively, germinate ...
Recreational Therapy Services and the Functional Independence of Inpatient Pediatric Population
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Recreational Therapy (RT) is a relatively new and growing profession with an expanding body of literature. The benefits of RT services have been demonstrated through research studies for several decades. However; there is ...
A survey of energy drink consumption patterns among college students
(East Carolina University, 2007-10-31)
Background: Energy drink consumption has continued to gain in popularity since the 1997 debut of Red Bull, the current leader in the energy drink market. Although energy drinks are targeted to young adult consumers, there ...
AMP-activated protein kinase response to contractions and treatment with the AMPK activator AICAR in young adult and old skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-01)
One characteristic of aging skeletal muscle is a decline in mitochondrial function. Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)occurs in response to an increased AMP/ATP ratio,which is one potential result of ...
Collecting Ourselves: An Analysis of holdings in North Carolina libraries of selected categories from the "North Carolina Bibliography"
(2009)
Despite the Electronic Age’s impact on libraries, blurring the lines between brick and mortar and the Web, the value of collecting locally and regionally focused works remains high. Of equal importance is a deeper understanding ...
Exercise Training Amount and Intensity Effects on Metabolic Syndrome (From Studies of a Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention through Defined Exercise)
(East Carolina University, 2007-12-15)
Although exercise improves individual risk factors of the metabolic syndrome (MS), there is little research on the effect of exercise on MS as a whole. The objective of this study was to determine how much exercise is ...
Impaired overload-induced muscle growth is associated with diminished translational signalling in aged rat fast-twitch skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2006-07-01)
Impaired overload-induced protein synthesis and growth in aged fast-twitch skeletal muscle may result from diminished responsiveness of signalling intermediates controlling protein translation. Yet, potential age-related ...
Inbreeding Depression and Mixed Mating in Leptosiphon jepsonii: A Comparison of Three Populations
(East Carolina University, 2006-08)
Background and Aims: Inbreeding depression is thought to play a central role in the evolution and maintenance of cross-fertilization. Theory indicates that inbreeding depression can be purged with self-fertilization, ...
The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial: design and rationale
(East Carolina University, 2009-07-28)
Background: Obesity is the most modifiable risk factor, and dietary induced weight loss potentially the best nonpharmacologic intervention to prevent or to slow osteoarthritis (OA) disease progression. We are currently ...
Regulation of GLUT4 expression in denervated skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2009-03)
Denervation by sciatic nerve resection causes decreased muscle glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression, but little is known about the signaling events that cause this decrease. Experiments were designed to test the ...
