SKELETAL MUSCLE INSULIN SENSITIVITY AND DURATION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) resolution following Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is reduced in patients with longer duration of T2DM and preliminary data suggest this may be mechanistically linked to lower ...
The Physiological and Pathological Role of Mitochondrial Calcium in the Diabetic Heart
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Diabetic patients are more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardiac dysfunction likely due alterations in mitochondrial calcium handling. The purpose of this work was to determine if redox-dependent changes ...
THE ROLE OF LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COENZYME A SYNTHETASE 1 (ACSL-1) IN LIPID METABOLISM IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE PRIMARY MYOTUBES.
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Obesity is considered a major health threat to the U.S. due to being a strong risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. The prevalence and severity of obesity is even greater among some ...
Paternal diet and exercise epigenetically program energy expenditure and glucose metabolism in mouse offspring
(East Carolina University, 2014)
It is currently estimated that a third of Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, which is an obesogenic disease shown to increase risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by five-fold (Diabetes Care, 2012). The ...
Targeting the mitochondrial inner membrane to improve bioenergetics in the diseased heart
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Cardiovascular diseases continue to exact unparalleled economic and humanitarian costs across the globe. Manifestations of cardiovascular diseases include acute coronary syndromes and heart failure, both of which are ...
