Changes in nucleus accumbens gene expression accompany sex specific suppression of voluntary physical activity in aromatase knockout mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Aromatase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of testosterone to estrogen and is highly conserved across species. Post-menopause, the aromatase enzyme (locally expressed in adipose tissue, bone, breast tissue, ... -
Differential effects of increasing physical activity and reducing energy intake on cardiometabolic and energetic parameters in obesity-prone juvenile rats
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Although the rise in adolescent obesity plateaued from 2003 to 2012, health implications associated with excess adiposity in the adolescent years ... -
Estrogen signaling and UCP1 : exploring mechanisms to improve metabolic health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Metabolic disease risk rapidly escalates following menopause. The mechanism is not fully known, but likely involves reduced signaling through Estrogen Receptor a (ERa) which is highly expressed in brown (BAT) and white AT ... -
The role of estrogen receptor beta DNA binding domain in mediating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic effects of exercise in ovariectomized mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Estradiol protects women from various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, a protection which is lost with menopause when estradiol levels drop. ...
