  • Low energy dense diet and high-intensity exercise : impact on weight and waist circumference in abdominally obese women

    Creator:
    Sweat, Whitney M.
    Abstract:
    Aging, obesity and increased waist circumference (WC) increases risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a cluster of symptoms (elevated WC, triglycerides, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) increasing risk for chronic disease. Low-energy dense (LED) diets, emphasizing whole food eating patterns, have not been examined...

  • The effects of whole body vibration on bone recovery following hindlimb unloading of adult female rats

    Creator:
    Herron, Jacquelyn Camille
    Abstract:
    Introduction: A bone deficit is found to persist five years following a hip fracture and 10 years post tibial fracture in adults. We examined the effect of whole body vibration (Vib) as a means for enhancing whole body composition and bone recovery following hindlimb unloading (HU) of adult female rats....

  • Life in a Rapidly Changing Environment: The Thermal Biology of the Red-sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis)

    Creator:
    Hubert, David L.
    Abstract:
    At a time when environmental conditions are rapidly changing, understanding how thermal extremes impact wildlife is imperative to fully understanding the consequences of climate change in natural ecosystems. While many organisms are currently impacted by rapidly warming and more erratic environmental conditions, identifying and investigating model species whose life histories...

  • Musculoskeletal Injury Pathogenesis in Racehorses

    Creator:
    Collar, Elizabeth M.
    Abstract:
    Racehorses are elite athletes that undergo repetitive stresses from jogging, cantering, and galloping exercises, and there is significant evidence that the majority of racehorse musculoskeletal injuries are due to repetitive stress or overuse. Musculoskeletal injuries have negative consequences on the racing industry through the loss of use or death of...

  • Characterizing the Roles of Dietary Sulforaphane in Human Health

    Creator:
    Atwell, Lauren Lee, 1984-
    Abstract:
    The consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with several health benefits, including cancer prevention. Many of these benefits are attributed to the phytochemical, sulforaphane (SFN), which is derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and broccoli sprouts. These vegetables contain glucoraphanin (GFN), SFN’s precursor, which is converted to SFN by...

  • The effect of feeding spent hemp biomass on bone growth in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Pearce, Carolyn
    Abstract:
    Spent hemp biomass (SHB) is a byproduct of the cannabinoid oil production which currently is not approved as a livestock feed ingredient. The 2018 Farm Bill defined the difference between varieties of the cannabis sativa plant as either non-hemp cannabis or hemp which has equal to or less than 0.3...

  • Regulation of skeletal muscle mitochondria in response to obesity and exercise in mice and humans

    Creator:
    Batterson, Philip M.
    Abstract:
    Skeletal muscle mitochondria are highly plastic organelles, integral to whole-body health. High-fat diet (HFD) and exercise remodel the skeletal muscle mitochondria. Whereby, altered skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is linked to decreased skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity which can be reversed by exercise. However, the mechanisms that contribute to skeletal muscle remodeling...

  • Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Insulin Action and Fatty Acid Trafficking with Obesity and Exercise

    Creator:
    Stierwalt, Harrison D.
    Abstract:
    Altered skeletal muscle fat metabolism is linked to changes in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Whereby the accumulation of bioactive signaling lipids (i.e., diacylglycerols and ceramides) within skeletal muscle are negatively associated with insulin sensitivity and the exercise-induced changes to fatty acid trafficking are related to improved skeletal muscle insulin action....
