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 ... -
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 ... -
Role of the carotid body chemoreceptors in blood flow and blood pressure regulation in type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The carotid body (CB) chemoreceptors have ... -
Six months of resistance training or plyometrics exercise positively affects bone mineral density and bone turnover marker ratios in men with osteopenia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Weight-bearing exercise that is high-impact and dynamic positively affects bone mineral density (BMD), and regular participation in this type of activity is recommended to preserve bone health in adults. However, there are ... -
Three-dimensional body scanning : a novel technique for body composition assessment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)INTRODUCTION: Accurate body composition assessment is crucial for determining health consequences due to excess body fat (BF). While several techniques exist there are few that are accurate, non-invasive, fast, and comfortable ...
