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) ... -
EFFECTS OF MODERATE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON THE ATTENUATION OF LEAN MASS LOSS DURING RAPID WEIGHT LOSS
(East Carolina University, 2013)Background: Obesity has become a severe issue in the United States, and gastric bypass surgery has been one of the most successful tools to combat the adverse consequences of this disease. The rapid weight loss associated ... -
Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2013)Effects of obesity on the transcriptional regulation of protein degradation in skeletal muscle by Lance M. Bollinger November, 2013 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Jeffrey J. Brault Major Department: Kinesiology ... -
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ... -
The Effects of Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on Quadriceps Muscle Biomechanics During Locomotion in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
(East Carolina University, 2013)Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by knee joint deterioration and pain, while also being associated with altered knee joint mechanics and quadriceps strength deficits. Research investigating the effects ... -
Effects of resveratrol and contractile activity in human skeletal muscle myotubes from severely obese individuals
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)The prevalence of obesity is exponentially increasing worldwide. Although strategies such as exercise, nutritional intervention, and pharmaceutical therapies including resveratrol have been extensively studied in lean or ... -
The effects of statins on mitochondrial function
(East Carolina University, 2013)Statins, or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. They are commonly used to treat hypercholesterolemia, a condition ... -
Effects of Weight Loss and Exercise on GlycA Levels in Middle-Aged Adults
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)GlycA is a novel inflammatory biomarker that measures systemic inflammation. Inflammation accompanies atherosclerosis, leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The effects of a combined exercise-plus-diet intervention on ... -
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY (EEG) AND ITS USE IN MOTOR LEARNING AND CONTROL
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique of measuring electric currents generated from active brain regions and is a useful tool for researchers interested in motor control. The study of motor learning and ... -
ELUCIDATION ON THE MECHANISM OF CAMKKα AS A PRO-GROWTH KINASE IN MOUSE SKELETAL MUSCLE
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-15)Type 2 diabetes affects ~25 million people in the U.S., and is the primary cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputation and the leading cause of blindness in adults. Major risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes ... -
Employee Satisfaction in Sport: Development of a Multi-Dimensional Model in Coaching
(East Carolina University, 2010)Despite the overwhelming emphasis on job satisfaction in sport management research, scholars continue to advocate for the distinctiveness and importance of evaluating both job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The purpose ... -
