THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LACTATE, MITOCHONDRIA, AND PEROXISOMES IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Human metabolism is a complex mechanism involving many interdependent parts. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship or lack thereof between lactate, mitochondria, and peroxisomes in human skeletal muscle. ...
Effects of a Six Week Gastrocnemius PNF Stretching Intervention on Structural Properties of Muscle and Neural Adaptations of Muscle in Young Women
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-18)
Muscle injuries account for nearly one-third of sport medicine clinic visits in the United States (Woods et al, 2007) and amass financial burden on both athletes and their respective sports clubs. It is unclear whether ...

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 ...
The Relationship Between Sitting Time and Arterial Stiffness in Obese African Americans
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-18)
Purpose: Sitting time and arterial stiffness have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, the association between objectively determined sitting time and arterial stiffness ...
Physical Activity Levels, Barriers, and Facilitators Encountered In Adolescents with and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)
While physical activity is beneficial to adolescent health and development, only 25% of adolescents met the physical activity recommendations of 60 minutes of physical activity daily. Research has shown adolescents with ...
The Influence of Race on Gestational Exercise and Birth Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)
In the United States, long-standing racial disparities in adverse birth outcome are prominent among the non-Hispanic Black (NHB) population, particularly when compared to Caucasians. Although maternal physical activity ...
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 ...
Impact of Muscle Material Properties on the Hypertrophic Response of Aged Women to Resistance Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)
All of the reports that comprise this dissertation center around the overarching hypothesis that the attenuated response to resistance exercise observed in older adults is caused by an impaired ability of the muscle to ...
Effects of High-Insulin Exposure on Mitochondrial Content in Skeletal Muscle Myotubes from Lean & Severely Obese Individuals: A Time Course Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-01)
Skeletal muscle is the site at which highly regulated energetic processes take place as a means of maintaining both tissue-specific and whole-body metabolism. With the development of severe obesity (BMI [greater-than] or ...
