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 ... -
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 ... -
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-04)Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species 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 ... -
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 ... -
The Effects of Exercise During Pregnancy on Infant Neuromotor Skills
(2015)In 2011-2012, the prevalence of obesity in children 2-19 years was 17% in the United States, and North Carolina was ranked fifth in the nation for childhood obesity. Researchers have attempted to prevent obesity by intervening ... -
Effects of Exercise Training on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Obese Humans
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is a dynamic organ that has a tremendous ability to remodel in the face of increased energy intake. In obesity, alterations to SAT may lead to metabolic dysfunction and increased risk for ... -
Effects Of Extracellular Matrix Stiffness On Muscle Fiber Mechanotransduction Signaling In Aged Rats
(East Carolina University, 2015)The loss of muscle mass with age, termed sarcopenia, is a common problem among the over 60 years-old population. Resistance training is often prescribed as treatment, but older adults have shown a reduced response to ... -
The Effects of Family Functioning on Academic Achievement in Children with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2013)Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a complex group of genetic blood disorders that currently affects 90,000-100,000 Americans primarily of African descent. SCD leads to physiological and psychosocial distress. In relation to ... -
