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 ...
Exploring sense of community among small-scale sport event volunteers
(2015-01-14)
Research question: In response to claims that sport event research over emphasizes economic outcomes and mega-event contexts, this research sought to both assess a scale that measures sense of community among small-scale ...
Effects of a before school physical activity program on physical activity, musculoskeletal fitness, and cognitive function
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Regular physical activity is important for everybody, but may be especially beneficial for children. Despite this, most children in the United States do not meet physical activity recommendations. Schools are a prime ...
Effect of Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome z-score : the Association of C- reactive protein
(East Carolina University, 2015-06-25)
PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that metabolic syndrome z-score (MetSynZ) is improved with exercise training. Metabolic syndrome is based upon insulin resistance, such that it would be expected for insulin resistance ...
Short-term, high-fat diet accelerates disuse atrophy and protein degradation in a muscle-specific manner in mice
(2015-11-04)
Background:
A short-term high-fat diet impairs mitochondrial function and the ability of skeletal muscle to respond to growth stimuli, but it is unknown whether such a diet alters the ability to respond to atrophy signals. ...
Deletion of LPCAT3 Promotes Enhanced Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)
Aberrant lipid metabolism has been linked to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The exact identity of the lipid species that promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance among the human population remains unclear. In this ...
