Characterization of the glucose transport mechanism responsible for mechanical overload- and acute injury-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue. In response to stimuli such as resistance exercise training or trauma/injury, muscle glucose uptake is stimulated to fuel the energetic and biosynthetic demands of growth, ... -

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 ... -
Characterization of the Role of Mcm10 in DNA Replication in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2013)Replication of the genome and proper formation, and packaging, of chromatin are processes essential to eukaryotic life. Maintenance of epigenetic chromatin states is essential for faithfully reproducing the transcriptional ... -
Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2011)DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ... -
Characterizing Angling Trends among Blue Marlin Anglers Following the 2008 Circle Hook Regulation
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-06)The blue marlin Makaira nigricans (Lacepède, 1802) is a highly migratory, large pelagic predator that is subject to overfishing as bycatch in longline fisheries and as game fish in recreational tournaments, such as the ... -
Characterizing Coastal Subenvironments with Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages: Bear Island and Bogue Banks, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ... -
Characterizing Environmental and Physicochemical Conditions in Nursery Areas of River Herring in Chowan River, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)Anadromous fishes such as blueback herring Alosa aestivalis and alewife A. pseudoharengus, utilize sounds, rivers, and tributaries during spawning. Collectively known as river herring, these two ecologically important ... -
Characterizing Interactions of Thioflavin-T with Native Proteins Especially Bovine Serum Albumin
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Thioflavin T is a fluorescent probe used to monitor formation of cross [beta]-sheet rich amyloid fibrils. Involvement of the amyloid fibrils is implicated in more than 50 human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ... -
Characterizing Multigenerational Effects of Nicotine-Dependent Behaviors in Caenorhabditis Elegans
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)This project aims to investigate the effects nicotine, a highly addictive chemical associated with tobacco smoking, have on offspring (F1 and F2) using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). C. elegans is ... -
Characterizing the Deceased Mariners of the Swedish Warship Vasa : An Analysis of Personal Possessions Found in Association with Human Remains
(East Carolina University, 2014)On August 10, 1628, as onlookers watched in dismay, the newest and most powerful warship in Northern Europe, a symbol of the prestige and power of Sweden and Sweden's King Gustav II Adolf, heeled over and sank in Stockholm ...
