Characterization of the glucose transport mechanism responsible for mechanical overload- and acute injury-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake
Evans, Parker Lance (East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue. In response to stimuli such as resistance exercise training or trauma/injury, muscle glucose uptake is stimulated to fuel the energetic and biosynthetic demands of growth, ... -
Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
McMillin, Shawna L (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 ... -
Effects of a high fat diet and/or overload on striated muscle structure, function, or metabolism
Weyrauch, Luke A (East Carolina University, 2020-12-03)Consumption of a high fat diet combined with physical inactivity is associated with many adverse health effects including obesity, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease/myocardial infarction. The ...
