Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
(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 ...
INTERLEUKIN-6 IN RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY AND MODERATE INTENSITY EXERCISE TRAINING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Skeletal muscle has been identified as an endocrine organ that releases myokines with contraction. These myokines have been defined as cytokines and peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers that ...
AgRP neuron activity is required for acute exercise-induced feeding
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-13)
While much is known about the role of neuropeptide Y/agouti-regulated peptide (NPY/AgRP) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to regulate energy homeostasis, little is known about how forced energy expenditure, such as ...
Identifying Primary Healthcare Providers’ Barriers to Prescribing Physical Activity as Medicine in Comparison to their own Physical Activity Level
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-01)
Abstract Objective. To examine healthcare providers' barriers to counseling physical activity to their patients. Then examine the same primary providers' own physical activity level over the course of 7 days (1 week) using ...
Substrate Utilization During Submaximal Exercise in Children with a Severely Obese Mother and Response to Exercise Training
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
The aim of this study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a severely obese mother (BMI[greater than or equal to]35 kg/m2) to children with a lean, non-obese mother (BMI[less than or ...
ENHANCED INSULIN SIGNALING FOLLOWING CONTRACTILE ACTIVITY IS BLUNTED IN MYOTUBES FROM SEVERELY OBESE INDIVIDUALS WITH OR WITHOUT TYPE 2 DIABETES
(East Carolina University, 2018-06-11)
Introduction: Regular exercise has been known to improve insulin sensitivity in obese/ Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) individuals. However, some obese and T2D individuals do not respond well to regular exercise in their metabolic ...
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DOSE FOR AFFECTIVE RESPONSE IN ACTIVE WOMEN WITH 5+ HOURS OF DAILY SEDENTARY TIME: A PILOT STUDY
(5/16/2016)
The majority of U.S. adults are not sufficiently active to reap health benefits. Affective response to physical activity may be a predictor of long-term adherence to an active lifestyle, with positive affect predicting ...
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 WEIGHT LOSS AND AEROBIC EXERCISE ON 10-YEAR AND LIFETIME ASCVD RISK CALCULATED USING THE POOLED COHORT EQUATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-29)
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) developed the ...
