Adaptations of the Hypothalamic Arcuate Nucleus in Response to Exercise and Hunger
Laing, Brenton (East Carolina University, 2018-05-02)The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus serves as a critical node for regulation of mammalian energy balance with the ability to sense the status of many organ systems and exert control over effector arms that potently ... -
AgRP neuron activity is required for acute exercise-induced feeding
Bunner, Wyatt (East Carolina University, 2019-08-13)While much is known about the role of neuropeptide Y/agouti-regulated peptide (NPY/AgRP) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to regulate energy homeostasis, little is known about how forced energy expenditure, such as ... -
Alterations in insulin action and contraction-mediated metabolism in myotubes derived from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients
Hinkley, J. Matthew (5/16/2016)Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery induces various metabolic benefits in severely obese (BMI> 40 kg/m2) individuals, including improved insulin action in peripheral tissues, most notably skeletal muscle, and remission ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy: Regulation of Protein Degradation and Contractile Performance
Davis, Patrick R. (East Carolina University, 2015-11-23)Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by depressed cellular energetics, increased rates of protein degradation, contractile deficits and loss of muscle mass. A potential regulator of these impairments is the metabolic ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 knockout mice and loss of mitochondrial proteins and enzyme activity during denervation atrophy
Verhoeven, Nicolas (East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Muscle atrophy leads to decrements in muscle function, partly attributable to decreased mitochondrial content. One controller of mitochondrial content is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which when bound by AMP activates ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 overexpression regulates cellular energetics and signaling for PGC-1α activation.
Miller, Spencer (East Carolina University, 2017-06-02)Skeletal muscles undergoing atrophy have decreased [ATP], PGC-1[alpha] expression, and mitochondrial content. This combination of findings is unexpected because decreased [ATP] is often associated with greater [AMP] and ... -
AROMATASE PROTEIN CONTENT IN GLUTEAL AND ABDOMINAL SUBCUTANEOUS ADIPOSE TISSUE IN PREMENOPAUSAL CAUCASIAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
Cooper, Elizabeth (East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)OBJECTIVE: To determine if aromatase protein content differs in abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue and to determine if there are racial differences in aromatase protein content that might influence racial differences ... -
ASSOCIATION OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS, EFFICACY, AND PERFORMANCE IN ROTC CADETS
Baker, Ajala (East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Transformational leadership is when leaders inspire, motivate, influence, and stimulate followers to build a connection and common belief towards goals. Military leaders that engage in transformational leadership encompass ... -
Central α-Klotho is a Novel Regulator of Arcuate Neurons and Peripheral Metabolism
Landry, Taylor (East Carolina University, 2021-04-20)The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) is a critical nexus of neuron populations that interpret peripheral signals of energy status and deliver diverse efferent outputs to metabolically active tissues. These neurons ... -
Characterization of the glucose transport mechanism responsible for mechanical overload- and acute injury-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake
Evans, Parker Lance (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, ... -

Coach Created Motivational Climate and Self-Efficacy in the Coach-Athlete Relationship: The Role of Relational Efficacy Beliefs
Hadadi, Noam Eliezer (East Carolina University, 2020-12-14)The motivational climate athletes perceive is crucial for many psychological aspects such as motivation, effort and enjoyment. The motivational climate also influences self-efficacy in competitive athletes. Since the ... -
Comparison of Online and Face-to-Face Physical Activity Courses on Undergraduates' Physical Activity Levels and Constructs of Self-Determination Theory
White, T. Isaac (East Carolina University, 2022-04-19)Regular physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and can positively impact mental well-being, cognitive abilities, and academic performance. Public health recommendations state ... -
Deletion of LPCAT3 Promotes Enhanced Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
Ferrara, Patrick J. (East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)Aberrant lipid metabolism has been linked to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The exact identity of the lipid species that promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance among the human population remains unclear. In this ... -
Early Metabolic Differences in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model and Exercise Intervention Treatment
Do, Khoa (East Carolina University, 2017-06-22)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we characterized and examined the early metabolic changes of the triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease ... -
THE EFFECT OF EXERCISE TIMING ON THE BLOOD GLUCOSE RESPONSE TO A MEAL IN CHILDREN
Wygand, Madelon (2015-04-28)The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the timing of exercise affects a child’s blood glucose response to a meal. Nine children between the ages of 7 and 11 years were studied. On two separate test days, ... -
Effect of Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome z-score : the Association of C- reactive protein
Gates, Taylor (East Carolina University, 2015-06-25)PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that metabolic syndrome z-score (MetSynZ) is improved with exercise training. Metabolic syndrome is based upon insulin resistance, such that it would be expected for insulin resistance ... -
The Effect of Load Placement on Lower Extremity Joint Biomechanics in Landing
