THE EFFECTS OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM ON INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND CYTOKINE LEVELS IN HEPATIC MACROPHAGES
(East Carolina University, 2014)In mammals, many aspects of daily behavior and physiology such as the sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, and liver metabolism are regulated by endogenous circadian mechanisms. Despite tissue-specific physiological ... -
Effects of CO2 laser irradiation on matrix-rich biofilm development formation–an in vitro study
(2016-11-01)Background: A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser has been used to morphologically and chemically modify the dental enamel surface as well as to make it more resistant to demineralization. Despite a variety of experiments demonstrating ... -
The Effects of Crude Oil and Chemical Dispersant Exposure on Danio rerio (zebrafish) Embryonic Development
(East Carolina University, 2014)Crude oil has been shown to cause defects in cardiovascular development in a variety of teleost species. We used the zebrafish, Danio rerio as a model to test the effects of oil and dispersant on cardiac development and ... -
Effects of Dietary Leucine Supplementation on Muscle Mass and Markers of Protein Degradation in Overloaded Skeletal Muscles of Young Adult and Aged Rats
(East Carolina University, 2011)The hypertrophic response to overload in fast-twitch skeletal muscle is impaired in aged humans and rats, and upregulation of protein degradation pathways are hypothesized to be a contributing factor. Muscle growth occurs ... -
The effects of diets enriched in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on systemic vaccinia virus infection
(2017-11-22)Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA, n-3 fatty acids), the key components of fish and flaxseed oils, are increasingly consumed by the public because of their potential health benefits and are available by prescription ... -
Effects of Dual-Task Training on Cognitive-Motor Learning and Cortical Activation in Healthy Young Adults
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)A dual-task (DT) paradigm requires concurrent performance of two tasks, or a cognitive and motor task. Since attention needs to be divided between a cognitive and motor task, limited central processing capacity results in ... -
THE EFFECTS OF EARLY VERSUS LATER GRADE RETENTION ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
(East Carolina University, 2011)In an era of increased accountability for student learning, administrators and teachers are forced to address the needs of struggling students. Grade retention is used as a practice to help low-performing students overcome ... -
Effects of Ectopic Expression of NGAL on Doxorubicin Sensitivity
(2012-10)Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are ... -

The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρ CO 2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-06)Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect spe- cies is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ... -

The Effects of Emotional States and Traits on Time Perception
(East Carolina University, 2012)Background: Leading models of time perception share an important element of Scalar Expectancy Theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the human mind is able to experience time passing ... -
The effects of emotional states and traits on time perception
(2018-08-20)Background: Models of time perception share an element of scalar expectancy theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the brain is able to experience time passing and function effectively. ... -
Effects of Emotional Symptoms on Pain and Social Functioning in Youth with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic blood disorders primarily affecting people of African, Latino, and Mediterranean descent and has currently been diagnosed in over 100,000 Americans. This chronic disease ... -
The effects of environmental nickel toxicity upon survival, growth, reproduction, fecundity, and lifespan of nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans, Pristionchus pacificus, and Caenorhabditis briggsae
(East Carolina University, 2012)Nickel (II) is a common component of many natural products and man-made devices. Due to its frequent use in everyday life, relatively large amounts of nickel are being released into the environment. Nickel, however, is a ...
