The brown adipose tissue phenoype : metabolic implications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The prevailing dogma is that thermogenic brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes to improvements in glucose homeostasis in obesogenic animal models; ... -
Investigating increased shear stress and physical activity as strategies to improve vascular insulin sensitivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Impaired vasodilator actions of insulin in type 2 diabetes (T2D) result in blunted insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle capillary perfusion which limits ... -
Role of adropin in arterial stiffening associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Adropin is a peptide largely secreted by the liver and known to regulate energy homeostasis; however, it also exerts cardiovascular effects. Herein, I tested the hypothesis that low circulating levels of adropin in obesity ... -
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 TRAF3IP2 in obesity-associated vascular insulin resistance and dysfunction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Insulin resistance in the vasculature is a characteristic feature of obesity and contributes to the pathogenesis of vascular dysfunction and ...
