Effects of Exercise Training on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Obese Humans
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is a dynamic organ that has a tremendous ability to remodel in the face of increased energy intake. In obesity, alterations to SAT may lead to metabolic dysfunction and increased risk for ... -
Effects Of Extracellular Matrix Stiffness On Muscle Fiber Mechanotransduction Signaling In Aged Rats
(East Carolina University, 2015)The loss of muscle mass with age, termed sarcopenia, is a common problem among the over 60 years-old population. Resistance training is often prescribed as treatment, but older adults have shown a reduced response to ... -
Effects of High-Insulin Exposure on Mitochondrial Content in Skeletal Muscle Myotubes from Lean & Severely Obese Individuals: A Time Course Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-01)Skeletal muscle is the site at which highly regulated energetic processes take place as a means of maintaining both tissue-specific and whole-body metabolism. With the development of severe obesity (BMI [greater-than] or ... -
Effects of Insulin Sensitivity Modulators on the Mitochondrial Fate of Oxygen in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2010)Increasingly, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in the development of insulin resistance. To test the hypothesis that modulators of insulin sensitivity (i.e., metformin, ovarian sex steroids and exercise training) ... -
