Exercise and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the associated impaired glycemic control greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. PURPOSE: It is unknown if or for how long a single bout of exercise will reduce post-prandial ... -
Exploring the relationship between changes in bone mineral density, lean body mass, and hormones in active, adult males with osteopenia after a 12-month exercise intervention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)INTRODUCTION: Weight-bearing exercise may positively affect bone via muscle contractions, impact forces, and hormonal changes; however, the importance of these factors remains controversial. PURPOSE: To determine if 12-months ... -
Hepatocellular endothelial nitric oxide synthase and mitochondrial function in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most rapidly growing liver disease in the United States. The development of treatments for this disease has ... -
The impact of exercise on postural control in patients with Parkinson's disease measured by computerized dynamic posturography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Postural instability (PI) is one of the most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD) that onsets in early stages of disease. The pathophysiology of PI occurs because of complex sensorimotor dysfunction that is ... -
In the zone : an investigation into physical activity during recess on traditional versus zoned playgrounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Introduction: The prevalence of childhood obesity in the US has reached epidemic status, with some states with rates as high as 20%. One way to reduce and prevent childhood obesity and its associated chronic illnesses, is ... -
Incretin response to acute exercise of differing intensities in obese women
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to determine the incretin response to an acute continuous, moderate intensity (ModEx) and high-intensity interval (IntEx) ... -
Influence of supervised activity zones during recess on sedentary activity, social skill development, and problem behavior in elementary-aged children
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Due to the childhood obesity epidemic, many school-based interventions have been developed to target physical inactivity before it develops ... -
Interaction of exercise and fish oil on postprandial lipemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The purpose of the study was to examine the interaction of fish oil and exercise in attenuating PPL after a high fat meal and inflammation induced by exercise. Previously sedentary subjects were randomly assigned to one ... -
Metabolic responses to a high fat diet in skeletal muscle of rats bred for high or low endurance running capacities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Whole body aerobic capacity and mitochondrial oxidative capacity are linked and may play an obligatory role in the maintenance of metabolic function and protection against insulin resistance when challenged with a high-fat ... -
Optimizing vascular and metabolic responses to insulin in type 2 diabetes : exercise as treatment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The vasodilatory effects of insulin typically account for up to 40% of insulin-mediated glucose disposal; however, insulin-stimulated vasodilation is ... -
Possible mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction in ovariectomized rats : impact of intrinsic aerobic fitness
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Ovariectomized (OVX) rodents are used as a model of human menopause as frequently both experience weight gain, decreased insulin sensitivity and decreased ... -
A proposed scoring system for quantification of metabolic syndrome severity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mortality. Currently, there is no established tool to quantify severity of MetS. Furthermore, it is unclear which ... -
The relationship between insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone mineral density in osteopenic men following a 12-month osteogenic exercise intervention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)INTRODUCTION: Plyometric [PLY] and resistance training [RT] have been successfully used to improve BMD in both men and women. Often, the hormonal response to exercise training is an important mediator of exercise-induced ... -
Resistance exercise timing and metabolic risk factors in type 2 diabetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Abnormally elevated postprandial glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations are risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with type-2 diabetes. The most effective time to exercise to lower postprandial ... -
The role of heat shock protein 72 in endothelial insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes: using passive heat therapy to improve endothelial insulin responsiveness
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Impaired endothelial insulin signaling and consequent blunting of insulin-induced vasodilation is a feature of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and contributes to vascular disease and glycemic dysregulation. However, the molecular ... -
The role of hepatic mitochondrial function and mitochondrial turnover in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and lifestyle modifications to treat the disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more advanced form steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with obesity and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular, liver-related, and all-cause mortality. Available ... -
