(2010-10-08)The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 3 recovery treatments (AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, stationary cycling, and static stretching) on physiological and psychological markers of muscle fatigue ... -
Effects of glucosamine and chondroitan supplementation in women with knee osteoarthritis participating in the Curves fitness and weight loss program: a randomized, placebo controlled, double blind clinical trial.
(2007-03-08)The purpose of this study was to determine whether participation in the Curves fitness and weight loss program and/or ingesting a commercially available glucosamine and chondroitan joint support dietary supplement improved ... -
Effects of habitat affinities and resource needs on edge responses by small mammals.
(, 2012-11-29)Edge effects are the responses of organisms to ecological boundaries. I studied edge responses by small mammals in two prairie communities to test two models: 1) edge responses reflect and map to simple habitat associations, ... -
Effects of habitat complexity on intraguild predation and cannibalism in an assemblage of size-structured predators
(2014-06-02)Intraguild predation (IGP) and cannibalism substantially affect community dynamics but often are poorly documented in food web studies. Feeding choices of generalist predators often relate more to size of prey than to ... -
The effects of heavy resistance exercise in combination with orally administered branched-chain amino acids or leucine on insulin signaling and Akt/mTOR pathway activity in active males.
(2007-12-03)Purpose: To determine if activity of the insulin signaling pathway is increased during lower body resistance exercise due to supplemental BCAA or leucine ingestion. Methods: 30 recreationally trained males (22.5yrs; ... -
Effects of High- and Low-Intensity Exercise on Postprandial Lipemia, Vascular Function, Oxygen Consumption and Energy Consumption After a Meal
(2013-05-24)Postprandial lipemia (PPL) is an exaggerated elevation in the blood triglyceride levels during the hours that follow a meal. In the Western world, most of the population lives in an absorptive state for at least 16 hours ... -
Effects of hind limb unweighting on the expression of physiological markers of muscle atrophy and myofibrillar protein content in the soleus and extensor digitorum longus of Sprague-Dawley rats.
(2006-04-19)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of hind limb unweighting on the expression of physiological markers of muscle atrophy and myofibrillar protein content in the soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum ... -
The effects of homeschooling on participation in drinking alcohol among adolescents and emerging adults.
(, 2014-06-11)Parents often choose to homeschool their children for reasons that, if their goals are accomplished, should contribute to relatively low levels of substance use among their children. Specifically, many parents desire to ... -
The effects of ingesting an anti-inflammatory nutritional supplement while participating in a resistance training program on indices of body composition and metabolic, cardiovascular, muscular, and hemodynamic function in overweight females.
(2008-10-15)Sedentary, healthy, overweight women (n=40) participated in a full-body resistance training program 3 days/week. The study was performed in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled fashion. Participants followed a ... -
Effects of ingesting branched chain amino acids and carbohydrate on myostatin signaling and markers of myogenesis in response to a bout of heavy resistance exercise.
(2008-10-14)Purpose: To determine if co-ingestion of carbohydrate (CHO) with branchedchain amino acids (BCAA) or leucine (Leu) downregulates the myostatin signaling pathway and upregulates the makers of myogenesis to a extent greater ... -
Effects of ingesting carbohydrate and branched-chain amino acids on markers of skeletal muscle protein synthesis of the insulin-PI3K-mTOR signal transduction pathways in response to a bout of heavy resistance exercise.
(2008-10-14)Purpose: To determine if activity of the MAPK-ERK or PI3K-mTOR insulin signaling pathway is increased in response to an acute lower body resistance exercise (RE) bout and supplemental BCAA + CHO or CHO ingestion. Methods: ... -
The Effects of Internal and External Mindfulness on Anxiety
(2014-06-02)Mindfulness is gaining popularity as an intervention useful for reducing anxiety symptoms. It is proposed that mindfulness-based interventions can be separated into two categories: internal and external mindfulness. These ... -
Effects of laser light on argon plasma in a GEC rf reference cell.
(, 2011-09-14)Since lasers have become so powerful in dusty plasma research, it is important to determine the manner in which a laser will affect the plasma. In this work, a Verdi ™ G-Series optically pumped semiconductor laser was used ... -
Effects of low- and high-intensity resistance exercise on skeletal muscle specific transcription factor activity and myosin heavy chain gene expression in males.
(2007-02-07)A single bout of resistance training is capable of activating the expression of many diverse groups of genes including myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and the myogenic regulatory factors (MRF). However, the role of ... -
Effects of low- and high-intensity single-leg resistance exercise on the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK1/2 family signal transduction response in skeletal muscle of untrained males.
(2007-02-14)Acute resistance exercise signals responses in the body to promote adaptations to the exercise stimulus. One key response during and following exercise is the role of signal transduction in the skeletal muscle (MAPK family) ... -
