No difference in the skeletal muscle angiogenic response
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Ischaemia-induced skeletalmuscle angiogenesis is impaired in aged compared with young mice. In humans, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein following an acute exercise bout are lower in aged compared ... -
NOVEL MECHANISMS GOVERNING SKELETAL MUSCLE MITOCHONDRIAL BIOENERGETICS : OXPHOS EFFICIENCY AND cAMP/PKA SIGNALING
(East Carolina University, 2014)Understanding the regulation of cellular metabolism is paramount to treating the growing prevalence of metabolic disease worldwide. In cellular metabolism, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) plays a key role ... -
Obese Children Have a Lower Lipolytic Response to an Acute Bout of Exercise When Compared to Lean
