Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle by Lance M. Bollinger November, 2013 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Jeffrey J. Brault Major Department: Kinesiology ...
Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption and Food Insecurity in Pediatric Patients with Obesity
(2015-04-30)
Consumption of sugar sweetened beverages and food insecurity are both thought to contribute to the development of obesity. However, little is known about the quantity and quality of sugar-sweetened beverages consumed, the ...
Short-term, high-fat diet accelerates disuse atrophy and protein degradation in a muscle-specific manner in mice
(2015-11-04)
Background:
A short-term high-fat diet impairs mitochondrial function and the ability of skeletal muscle to respond to growth stimuli, but it is unknown whether such a diet alters the ability to respond to atrophy signals. ...
A possible dose–response association between distance to farmers’ markets and roadside produce stands, frequency of shopping, fruit and vegetable consumption, and body mass index among customers in the Southern United States
(2017-01)
Background: The association between farmers’ market characteristics and consumer shopping habits remains
unclear. Our objective was to examine associations among distance to farmers’ markets, amenities within farmers’
markets, ...
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2016-10-26)
Purpose:
Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifiable. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduction in the amount of body fat and a ...
Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity In Human Skeletal Muscle: Association with Plasma Lactate Concentration
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-11)
ABSTRACT Background: Metabolic disease is a growing concern for public health. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are an epidemic and a phenotype for insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. A reduced mitochondrial function ...
The Effects of Weight Loss and Exercise on Quality of Life
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-04)
PURPOSE: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is typically lower in overweight and obese populations compared to individuals of normal weight. Combined interventions of diet and aerobic exercise may improve HRQOL in this ...
EXERCISE AND DIET PROGRAMS DROSOPHILA SIMULANS OFFSPRING METABOLIC PHENOTYPE
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-23)
Obesity in pediatric patients has increased significantly in recent decades, along with susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. The relative contribution of genetic and ...
SKELETAL MUSCLE METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY IMPAIRMENTS IN RESPONSE TO LIPID WITH OBESITY : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Obese individuals exhibit skeletal muscle metabolic inflexibility by failing to increase fat oxidation and genes linked with mitochondrial biogenesis in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) and lipid incubation in cell culture. ...
