After-School Energizers Classroom-based Physical Activities Integrating physical activity with academic concepts
(2006)After-School Energizers After-School Energizers are physical activities that after-school leaders can use to promote character development, life skills training, and academic enrichment. The After-School Energizers were ... -
AgRP neuron activity is required for acute exercise-induced feeding
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-13)While much is known about the role of neuropeptide Y/agouti-regulated peptide (NPY/AgRP) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to regulate energy homeostasis, little is known about how forced energy expenditure, such as ... -
Alterations in insulin action and contraction-mediated metabolism in myotubes derived from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients
(5/16/2016)Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery induces various metabolic benefits in severely obese (BMI> 40 kg/m2) individuals, including improved insulin action in peripheral tissues, most notably skeletal muscle, and remission ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy: Regulation of Protein Degradation and Contractile Performance
(East Carolina University, 2015-11-23)Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by depressed cellular energetics, increased rates of protein degradation, contractile deficits and loss of muscle mass. A potential regulator of these impairments is the metabolic ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 knockout mice and loss of mitochondrial proteins and enzyme activity during denervation atrophy
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Muscle atrophy leads to decrements in muscle function, partly attributable to decreased mitochondrial content. One controller of mitochondrial content is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which when bound by AMP activates ... -
AMP Deaminase 3 overexpression regulates cellular energetics and signaling for PGC-1α activation.
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-02)Skeletal muscles undergoing atrophy have decreased [ATP], PGC-1[alpha] expression, and mitochondrial content. This combination of findings is unexpected because decreased [ATP] is often associated with greater [AMP] and ... -
AMP-activated protein kinase response to contractions and treatment with the AMPK activator AICAR in young adult and old skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-01)One characteristic of aging skeletal muscle is a decline in mitochondrial function. Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)occurs in response to an increased AMP/ATP ratio,which is one potential result of ... -
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 ... -
AROMATASE PROTEIN CONTENT IN GLUTEAL AND ABDOMINAL SUBCUTANEOUS ADIPOSE TISSUE IN PREMENOPAUSAL CAUCASIAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)OBJECTIVE: To determine if aromatase protein content differs in abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue and to determine if there are racial differences in aromatase protein content that might influence racial differences ... -
Assessing Children's Physical Activity in Their Homes: The Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Home
(East Carolina University, 2009)The present study describes the development and pilot testing of the Observation System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Home version. This system was developed to document physical activity and related physical ... -
Association Between Objectively Measured Physical Activity And Depression Symptoms
(East Carolina University, 2015)Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to ... -
ASSOCIATION OF COACH, PEER, AND PARENT-INITIATED MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE WITH BURNOUT AND ENGAGEMENT
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Sport participation can be an engaging experience and result in health benefits, skill development, and social camaraderie. However, it can also result in negative outcomes such as burnout. Burnout is negatively associated ...
