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. ...
NADPH Oxidase as a Mechanistic Link Between Erectile Dysfunction, Peripheral, and Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular complications involving both microvascular and macrovascular tissues are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in obese patients. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that erectile dysfunction ...
The Influence of Energy Expenditure on Mitochondrial Functions, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance under Metabolic Oversupply Conditions
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Mitochondrial respiratory capacity and oxidative stress have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance (IR) and type II diabetes. A causative role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the etiology of ...
EFFECTS OF A 16 WEEK PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INTERVENTION ON SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS IN 8-11 YEAR OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN CHILDREN.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker of systemic inflammation that has been associated with heart disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders in adults and children. Previous physical activity interventions have ...
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)
The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ...
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ...
IL-15 : A NOVEL REGULATOR OF LIPOLYSIS IN HUMANS?
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Interactions between and within organ systems such as skeletal muscle (SkM) and adipose tissue (AT), via immune cell signaling factors (cytokines), may regulate the development of obesity. The increased expression and ...
