Intramuscular lipid oxidation and obesity
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)
There is an accumulating amount of evidence indicating that lipid oxidation is depressed in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Decrements in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) have been reported with obesity in models ranging ...
More Than Just Letting Them Play: Parental Influence on Women's Lifetime Sport Involvement
(East Carolina University, 2008)
This qualitative study uses expectancy-value and life course theories (Giele & Elder, 1998) to examine both the proximal and distal impact of early family socialization on enduring female participation in sport. Seventeen ...
Physical activity across the curriculum: year one process evaluation results
(East Carolina University, 2008-07-07)
Background: Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) is a 3-year elementary school-based intervention to determine if increased amounts of moderate intensity physical activity performed in the classroom will diminish ...
Modulation of IKKβ with AMPK Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)
Activation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 is necessary for proper transduction of the insulin signal. IRS-1 serine312(human)/307(rodent) phosphorylation, however, results in disruption of this signal and subsequent ...
Relationships between Adipose Tissue and Cytokine Responses to a Randomized Controlled Exercise Training Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)
Adipose-derived cytokines play a prominent role in mediating the metabolic consequences of obesity and excess body fat. Given this, we hypothesized that alterations in adipose tissue stores incurred with exercise training ...
The Unplugged Office Space and the Role of Sustainable Design in Higher Education
(East Carolina University, 2008)
This article looks at sustainability in higher education and office environments, specifically proposing a green redesign of the Greenville, NC V.O.A. site.
Muscle work is biased toward energy generation over dissipation in non-level running
(East Carolina University, 2008-12-05)
This study tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscles generate more mechanical energy in gait tasks that raise the center of mass compared to the mechanical energy they dissipate in gait tasks that lower the center of ...
Impact of Hormone Replacement Therapy on Exercise Training-Induced Improvements in Insulin Action in Sedentary Overweight Adults
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Exercise training (ET) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are both recognized influences on insulin action, but the influence of HRT on responses to ET has not been examined. In order to determine if HRT use provided ...
AMPK regulates basal skeletal muscle capillarization and VEGF expression, but is not necessary for the angiogenic response to exercise
(East Carolina UniversityEast Carolina University, 2008-12-15)
5 -AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)is a metabolic fuel sensor that monitors cellular energy charge, while the vasculature is important for maintaining cellular energy homeostasis. Mice with muscle-specific inactive AMPK ...
Does AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Negatively Mediate Aged Fast-Twitch Skeletal Muscle Mass?
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)
The activity of 5'-adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase, a negative regulator of cell size, is up-regulated with age in resting and overloaded fast-twitch skeletal muscle but not slowtwitch muscle. Here, we ...
