Reversing menstrual dysfunction (REMEDY) : the impact of menstrual status on musculoskeletal and hormonal health

Creator:: Kam, Lynn Cialdella
Abstract:: Menstrual dysfunction (MD), possibly due to lower energy availability (EA), is prevalent in active women and associated with unfavorable heath consequences. PURPOSE: To determine if EA improvements in endurance-trained women, using a daily Carbohydrate-Protein supplement (CHO-PRO), will restore menstrual function and improve musculoskeletal health. METHODS: Athletes with MD (ExMD; n=8;...

The physiological effect of posture on cycling

Creator:: al-Haboubi, Muhammad
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to investigate the physiological effects of body posture on cycling. The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...

The effect of a near-maximal effort one-hour run on preferred and optimal stride rate and vertical stiffness

Creator:: Hunter, Iain
Abstract:: Experienced runners naturally optimize stride rate in a manner that minimizes oxygen uptake at given running speeds. However, as runners become fatigued, preferred stride rate often decreases. Whether such changes with fatigue occur in parallel with changes in optimal stride rate is unknown. This study's focus was on determining whether...

Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

Changes in body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors : response to energy-restriction, protein intake, and high intensity interval training

Creator:: Pilolla, Kari D.
Abstract:: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and abdominal obesity (AbOb) increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Energy restriction (ER), highprotein (PRO) intake and high-intensity interval training (HIT) can independently improve MetS and AbOb. However, ER reduces metabolically active lean body mass (LBM) in addition to body fat (BF). Purpose: To...

The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...

The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

Creator:: Yan, Michelle
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

Inhibition of exercise-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage by prior supplementation with the antioxidant vitamins E and C

Creator:: Mastaloudis, Angela
Abstract:: To determine if 6 weeks prior supplementation with vitamins E and C could alleviate exercise-induced DNA damage, prevent lipid peroxidation and inflammation, slow the rate of vitamin E utilization and/or attenuate muscle damage, 22 subjects (11 females: 11 males) were studied during a 50 km (32 mile) ultramarathon. Subjects were...

Label-free mass spectrometry-driven methods for elucidating adaptive responses of the hepatic mitochondrial proteome in an alcoholic fatty liver disease model

Creator:: Tzeng, Shin-Cheng
Abstract:: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) continues to be one of the major public health problems in the United States and worldwide. Complicated by factors including gender, polymorphisms of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes, immunologic factors, exposures to other substances/drugs, hepatic viral infections, nutritional deficiencies, and obesity, ALD is a complex disease that requires a...
