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 ... -
ASSOCIATION OF PARK-USE, PREFERENCES OF PARK FEATURES, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG CITY RESIDENTS VARYING IN SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
(East Carolina University, 2014)Public parks can play a substantial role in increasing physical activity (PA) because they offer a wide range of either free or low-cost activities. For many Americans, there are limitations on the environment and resources ... -
ASSOCIATION OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS, EFFICACY, AND PERFORMANCE IN ROTC CADETS
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Transformational leadership is when leaders inspire, motivate, influence, and stimulate followers to build a connection and common belief towards goals. Military leaders that engage in transformational leadership encompass ... -
Behind the stripes: female football officials’ experiences
(2016-11)This study focused on the work-related experiences of eight female American football officials. The purpose was to gain a holistic perspective of women’s experiences working in the male-dominated career of sport officiating. ... -
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in ... -
Central α-Klotho is a Novel Regulator of Arcuate Neurons and Peripheral Metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-20)The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) is a critical nexus of neuron populations that interpret peripheral signals of energy status and deliver diverse efferent outputs to metabolically active tissues. These neurons ...
