NADPH Oxidase as a Mechanistic Link Between Erectile Dysfunction, Peripheral, and Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cardiovascular complications involving both microvascular and macrovascular tissues are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in obese patients. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that erectile dysfunction ... -
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 ... -
REGULATION OF LIPOLYSIS BY [BETA]-ADRENERGIC ACTIVATION AND EXERCISE IN OBESE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2012)African-American women (AAW) are twice as likely to be obese as Caucasian women (CW); however, previous in-vitro studies have shown that AAW have higher densities of beta-adrenergic receptors (B-AR) in the subcutaneous ... -
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ... -
