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 ... -
Regulation of Lipolysis By Perilipin : influence of Obesity and Exercise Training
(East Carolina University, 2010)Obesity is the result of excess energy storage due to an imbalance between energy storage and energy utilization. Excess energy is stored as triacylglycerol (TAG) in adipose tissue in various regions throughout the body. ... -
Regulation of lipoprotein lipase mRNA content in 3T3-L1 cells by tumour necrosis factor.
(East Carolina University, 1988-02-01)Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) was previously shown to suppress lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis and activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The present study examined the effect ofTNF on amounts ofmRNA for LPL in 3T3-Ll cells. ... -
Regulation of Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal Synthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2005-07)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients and is a major source of nosocomial infections. This bacterium controls many virulence factors by using ... -
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport and Glucose Metabolism by Exercise Training
(2019-10-12)Aerobic exercise training and resistance exercise training are both well-known for their ability to improve human health; especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, there are critical differences between these ... -
Regulation of the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Kinase (MEK)-1 by NAD-Dependent Deacetylases
(2014-02)Sirtuins are class III deacetylases that regulate many essential processes, including cellular stress, genome stability, and metabolism. Although these NAD+-dependent deacetylases control adaptive cellular responses, ... -
Regulation of Transglutaminase 2 structure and function by Ca²⁺ and [alpha]-synuclein
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-14)Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) catalyzes the Ca2+-dependent transamidation of protein substrates between glutamine and lysine residues by formation of an N[epsilon]-([gamma]-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine isopeptide bond. The Ca2+-dependent ... -
REGULATORY LINKAGE AND COORDINATED EXPRESSION OF THE CHKB AND CPT1B GENES: IMPLICATIONS FOR AN ELEVATED METABOLIC CAPACITY AND THE ORIGIN OF BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-18)The emergence of endothermy was an important event in the evolution of vertebrates. Specifically, the acquisition of BAT was a key achievement for the radiation and diversification of eutherian (placental) mammals. ... -
Rehabilitation Intervention for Individuals With Heart Failure and Fatigue to Reduce Fatigue Impact: A Feasibility Study
(2019-12-31)Objective: To investigate feasibility of recruitment, tablet use in intervention delivery, and use of self-report outcome measures and to analyze the effect of Energy Conservation plus Problem-Solving Therapy versus Health ... -
Reimagining Hank Morgan and Billy Pilgrim as American Anti-Heroes : The Dystopian Satire of Mark Twain's A Connecticit Yankee in King Arthur's Court and Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five
(East Carolina University, 2011)Many critics have noticed the ties linking the satirical novels of Mark Twain and Kurt Vonnegut. This is not surprising as Twain's influence on Vonnegut's work is virtually inescapable. However, thus far critics have not ... -
REIMAGINING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN DISTRICT DECISIONS: WITH STUDENT VOICE
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-25)Student voice is often missing when decisions are made in school districts. Culturally responsive researchers indicate that when students have voice in their daily schooling, they are more connected (Gay, 2018; Hammond, ... -
REIMAGINING TEACHER INDUCTION: A FRAMEWORK FOR AN ASSET-DRIVEN, EQUITY-BASED INDUCTION PROCESS THAT CULTIVATES KNOWLEDGE OF SELF, CONTEXT, AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-21)The induction process for new and beginning teachers has the potential to transform how teachers experience themselves and their school and ultimately the impact they have on students. Schools, like Clark Hill Academy, ... -
Reimagining the Library as a Technology: An Analysis of Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science within the Social Construction of Technology Framework
(2014-04)S. R. Ranganathan’s five laws of library science have long been a theoretical cornerstone of librarianship. This article draws on theories in the field of technology studies to advance the claim that the enduring relevance ... -
