Physiological responses of adipose tissue to different models of physical activity and inactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Childhood is a critical time of growth, and decisions made during this time lead to positive and negative health consequences, specifically pertaining to adiposity. There is convincing evidence that children who are ...
Cardiorespiratory fitness through the early lifecourse and attempts to modulate its initial decline
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
There has never been an outcome measure for human health more important than VO2peak, yet we know nothing about the molecular triggers for its decline with aging. Peak aerobic capacity (VO2peak) is a strong predictor of ...
Metabolic responses to a westernized diet administered to rats selectively bred for high and low amounts of voluntary exercise
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Introduction: The purpose of my study was to determine if rats with varying levels of inherent motivation to voluntarily run in wheels, when given no access to voluntary running wheels, would retain any protective affects ...
Effects of voluntary running on brain mitochondrial biogenesis in rats selectively bred to run high and low nightly distances
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
It is known that brain mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly associated with the advent of neurodegenerative diseases and that exercise is an important non-pharmaceutical method of maintaining brain mitochondrial health. ...
Mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle satellite cell cycle progression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated with each myonucleus capable of governing a finite cytoplasmic volume. In healthy skeletal muscle, myonuclear ...
Fgf2-stimulated proliferation is lower in muscle precursor cells from old rats
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In aged skeletal muscle, impairments in the regrowth and regeneration may be explained by a decreased responsiveness of muscle precursor cells (MPCs), ...
