Eating late in the evening is associated with childhood obesity in some age groups but not in all children: the relationship between time of consumption and body weight status in U.S. children
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-21)Background: Some studies in adults indicate a positive correlation between eating later in the day and overall energy intake as well as body weight status. Thus, the time of food intake may be a risk factor in childhood ... -
Ectopic expression of Hel-N1, an RNA-binding protein, increases glucose transporter (GLUT1) expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1997-02)3T3-L1 preadipocytes ectopically expressing the mammalian RNA-binding protein Hel-N1 expressed up to 10-fold more glucose transporter (GLUT1) protein and exhibited elevated rates of basal glucose uptake. Hel-N1 is a member ... -
The Effect of a Hip Strengthening Program on Mechanics during Running and Single Leg Squatting
(http://www.jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.2519/jospt.2011.3470, 2011-07)STUDY DESIGN: Block randomized controlled trial. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a strengthening and movement education program, targeting the hip abductors and hip external rotators, alters hip mechanics during running ... -
Effect of Age, Gender, and Repeated Measures on Intraoral Air Pressure in Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)The effect of age, gender, and repeated measures on intraoral air pressure (P0) was examined. Sixty adults comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age groups (i.e., 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 83 years) ... -
The effect of brevenal on brevetoxin-induced DNA damage in human lymphocytes
(East Carolina University, 2005-11)Brevenal is a nontoxic short-chain trans-syn polyether that competes with brevetoxin (PbTx) for the active site on voltage-sensitive sodium channels. The PbTxs are highly potent polyether toxins produced during blooms of ... -
The effect of concurrent alcohol, drug, psychiatric and vocational treatment on consumer issues, treatment participation, and employment
(East Carolina University, 2013)Despite high rates of unemployment among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) with psychiatric issues, little is known about a substance abuse intensive outpatient program (SAIOP) based on vocational counseling ... -
The Effect of Drawing to Enhance Word Retrieval in Individuals with Chronic Severe Aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2012)The purpose of the current study was to examine if individuals with severe chronic aphasia could increase their ability to retrieve object names by implementing the compensatory strategy of drawing. This unique treatment ... -
The effect of fasting on the activation in vivo of the insulin receptor kinase.
(East Carolina University, 1990-02-01)Fasting causes insulin resistance in liver and fat, and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle. We studied the response in vitro and in vivo to insulin of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in muscle and liver from 72 ... -
Effect of gender on auditory brainstem response latencies and thresholds to air-and bone-conducted clicks in newborn infants
(East Carolina University, 2001)Objective: An examination of gender differences in auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave V latencies and thresholds to air-and bone- conducted clicks was undertaken with newborn infants. Design: Two hundred and two full-term ... -
Effect of in vitro transcription on cruciform stability.
(East Carolina University, 1990-05-11)We have investigated the effect of in vitro transcription on cruciform stability. Replicative form DNA of 4X174 strain ins6240, containing a 48 bp synthetic palindrome in the J-F intercistronic region, was supercoiled in ... -
Effect of Normal and Fast Articulatory Rates on Stuttering Frequency
