INTERLEUKIN-6 IN RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY AND MODERATE INTENSITY EXERCISE TRAINING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Skeletal muscle has been identified as an endocrine organ that releases myokines with contraction. These myokines have been defined as cytokines and peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers that ...
Effects of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffness and autonomic function in obese adults at-risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), CVD mortality, and type 2 diabetes. Arterial stiffness and autonomic dysfunction are independent predictors of CVD and type 2 diabetes. Moreover, African ...

Neurobehavioral Strategies of Skill Acquisition in Left and Right Hand Dominant Individuals
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The brain consists of vast networks of connected pathways communicating through synchronized electrochemical activity propagated along fiber tracts. The current understanding is that the brain has a modular organization ...
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 ...
