C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in ... -
Cadmium
(2016-08-26)Cadmium is a soft and malleable metal which has several properties that allow it to be used in many ways. Manufacturing workers who are exposed to cadmium have higher rates of lung and prostate cancers. There is a weak ... -
Can a Medical Specialty Camp Become a Venue of Providing Reinforcement Preparation Education Regarding Transition From Pediatric to Adult Healthcare?
(2014-12)There is limited research available regarding preparation education for adolescents with a congenital heart defect (CHD) approaching the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. Medical specialty camps have been ... -
Central α-Klotho is a Novel Regulator of Arcuate Neurons and Peripheral Metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-20)The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) is a critical nexus of neuron populations that interpret peripheral signals of energy status and deliver diverse efferent outputs to metabolically active tissues. These neurons ... -
Changes in muscle strength, muscle fibre size and myofibrillar gene expression after immobilization and retraining in humans
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)1. Changes in muscle strength, vastus lateralis fibre characteristics and myosin heavychain (MyoHC) gene expression were examined in 48 men and women following 3 weeks of knee immobilization and after 12 weeks of retraining ... -
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, ... -

(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 ... -
Child Development Knowledge and Human Factors in Toy Design : An Exploratory Study of Popular Children's Products
(East Carolina University, 2012)Play reflects how children understand the world, and it also provides them with opportunities to learn and refine their social, emotional, motor, and problem-solving skills. Before designing a product such as a children's ... -
Child Life in Alternative Settings
(2014)The Child Life Council Mission statement highlights the role of a child life specialist as supporting children in stressful or traumatic life situations. Child life specialists are professionals who have an important role ... -
Child Life Specialists in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit : Are They Prepared to Work with This Unique Population?
(East Carolina University, 2011)Certified child life specialists (CCLS) are one of many healthcare professionals who work with premature infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The current study investigates the role of CCLS and ... -
Children's Perceptions of Friendliness Based on Physical Appearance in Humans and Canines
(East Carolina University, 2011)Physical appearance serves as a window to one's character. More specifically, faces give us clues to an individual's emotional state, personality, and behavior. The present study aims to draw parallels between what ... -
Children's use of transitional objects in pediatric healthcare settings: policies and practices
(East Carolina University, 2016-11-16)Children experience medical interventions and hospitalizations every day. These settings are often characterized as strange and unfamiliar for children, may require some separations from established attachment figures, ... -
Chronic low-frequency rTMS of primary motor cortex diminishes exercise training-induced gains in maximal voluntary force in humans
(East Carolina University, 2009)Although there is consensus that the central nervous system mediates the increases in maximal voluntary force (maximal voluntary contraction, MVC) produced by resistance exercise, the involvement of the primary motor cortex ... -
Cleaved Caspase-3 Response to Acute Resistance Exercise in Young and Old Men and Women : Relationship to Muscle Glycogen Content and 5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Activity
(East Carolina University, 2011)In addition to suppressing protein synthesis and activating protein degradation in skeletal muscle and other cell types, 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known to stimulate nuclear apoptosis in non-muscle cells ...
