Effectiveness of a Total Meal Replacement Program (OPTIFAST Program) on Weight Loss: Results from the OPTIWIN Study
(2018-11-13)Objective: The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of the OPTIFAST program (OP), a total meal replacement dietary intervention, compared with a food-based (FB) dietary plan for weight loss. Methods: Participants ... -
Effects of aerobic training with and without weight loss on insulin sensitivity and lipids
(2018-05-18)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise training with modest or greater weight loss (≥3%) or not (<3%) on insulin sensitivity, lipoprotein concentrations, and lipoprotein particle size ... -
Effects of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on the growth, development, and microrna expression of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum)
(2012-05-11)Nanoparticles are a class of newly emerging environmental pollutions. To date, few experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect nanoparticles may have on plant growth and development. It is important to study ... -
The effects of an afterschool STEM program on students’ motivation and engagement
(2017-06-12)Background: One significant factor in facilitating students’ career intentions and persistence in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields is targeting their interests and motivation before eighth ... -

Effects of cardiomyopathy-linked mutations K15N and R21H in tropomyosin on thin-filament regulation and pointed-end dynamics
(2018-11-14)Missense mutations K15N and R21H in striated muscle tropomyosin are linked to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), respectively. Tropomyosin, together with the troponin complex, regulates ... -
Effects of CO2 laser irradiation on matrix-rich biofilm development formation–an in vitro study
(2016-11-01)Background: A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser has been used to morphologically and chemically modify the dental enamel surface as well as to make it more resistant to demineralization. Despite a variety of experiments demonstrating ... -
The effects of diets enriched in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on systemic vaccinia virus infection
(2017-11-22)Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA, n-3 fatty acids), the key components of fish and flaxseed oils, are increasingly consumed by the public because of their potential health benefits and are available by prescription ... -
Effects of ectopic expression of NGAL on doxorubicin sensitivity
(2012-10-20)Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are ... -
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρ CO 2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-06)Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect spe- cies is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ... -

The effects of emotional states and traits on time perception
(2018-08-20)Background: Models of time perception share an element of scalar expectancy theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the brain is able to experience time passing and function effectively. ... -
The effects of exercise on hypothalamic neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
(2018-01-02)Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous sys- tem. In this study, we characterized and examined the early metabolic changes in the triple transgenic mouse AD model (3xtg-AD), and ... -
Effects of exercise on obesity-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle
(2017-11)Obesity is known to induce inhibition of glucose uptake, reduction of lipid metabolism, and progressive loss of skeletal muscle function, which are all as- sociated with mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle. ... -
Effects of finite coverage on global polarization observables in heavy ion collisions
(2018-05-10)In non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, the created matter possesses a large initial orbital angular momentum. Particles produced in the collisions could be polarized globally in the direction of the orbital ... -
Effects of Instruction Method on Vital Capacity and Maximum Sustained Phonation in Adult Female Controls
(East Carolina University, 2012)Angela Ohlhaut. Effects of Instruction Method on Vital Capacity and Maximum Sustained Phonation in Adult Female Controls (Under the direction of Kathleen T. Cox, Ph.D.) Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, ... -
Effects of Monolaurin on Oral Microbe-Host Transcriptome and Metabolome
(2018-11-06)The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of monolaurin against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) and determine their effects on the host transcriptome and metabolome, using an oral cell/bacteria ... -
Effects of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy on surgical pathology specimens
(2012-03-13)Background Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has greatly changed clinical management of prostate cancer. It is important for pathologists and urologists to compare RALP with conventional open radical ... -
