Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Resistance exercise training is a recommended form of physical activity for people with type 2 diabetes due to its ability to increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Understanding how resistance training controls muscle ... -
Effects of a high fat diet and/or overload on striated muscle structure, function, or metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2020-12-03)Consumption of a high fat diet combined with physical inactivity is associated with many adverse health effects including obesity, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease/myocardial infarction. The ... -
Evaluating Two Measures of Postural Stability in Response to Perturbations in People with Diabetic Neuropathy
(East Carolina University, 2015)Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes. It is characterized by a marked decrease in proprioception, particularly in the lower body. This reduced proprioception leads to an increase in falls risk in this ... -
The Physiological and Pathological Role of Mitochondrial Calcium in the Diabetic Heart
(East Carolina University, 2011)Diabetic patients are more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardiac dysfunction likely due alterations in mitochondrial calcium handling. The purpose of this work was to determine if redox-dependent changes ... -
THE ROLE OF LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COENZYME A SYNTHETASE 1 (ACSL-1) IN LIPID METABOLISM IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE PRIMARY MYOTUBES.
(East Carolina University, 2011)Obesity is considered a major health threat to the U.S. due to being a strong risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. The prevalence and severity of obesity is even greater among some ... -
SKELETAL MUSCLE INSULIN SENSITIVITY AND DURATION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
(East Carolina University, 2012)Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) resolution following Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is reduced in patients with longer duration of T2DM and preliminary data suggest this may be mechanistically linked to lower ...
