Title: Development of a method for mechanical properties testing of rat aortae
Author: Zacherle, Emily
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Physiology
Description: INTRODUCTION: Arterial stiffness (AS) is a prevalent condition associated with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications. Research has shown structural changes associated with AS, for which the precise mechanisms are unknown. Mechanical ...

Author: Lawrence, Marcus
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: ABSTRACTMARCUS MICHAEL LAWRENCE. Glycogen Enhancement Augments Overload-Induced Protein Synthesis, Growth, and Myogenesis in Aged Skeletal Muscle. (Under the direction of DR. SCOTT E. GORDON)Age-related skeletal muscle (SkM) wasting is associated ...

Title: Hydrogen Sulfide Modulates Hepatic Oxygen Availability and Microcirculation during Sepsis
Author: Norris, Eric
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Physiology
Description: A mismatch between O_{2_{supply and demand leads to the development of tissue hypoxia which contributes to hepatic dysfunction and injury during sepsis. Previously, we reported that hepatic microcirculatory failure is a major contributor to...}}

Title: Interaction between hydrogen sulfide and endothelin-1 in hepatic perfusion and mitochondrial dynamics in endotoxemia
Author: Pennington, Samantha
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Physiology, Cytology
Description: A mismatch between oxygen supply and metabolic tissue demand leads to the development of hypoxia, which contributes to hepatic dysfunction and liver injury during sepsis. Recent evidence shows that hepatic H2S levels are increased during sepsis an...

Title: The Role of Isometric Exercise Training on Reductions in Resting Blood Pressure: Human Trials and the Influence of Peripheral Vasoactive and Inflammatory Biomarkers
Author: Gordon, Benjamin
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: Approximately 1 billion people worldwide and ~87 million adults in the United States alone are affected by hypertension [HTN: high blood pressure (HBP)]. Primary treatment avenues for HBP management include lifestyle modification (e.g. diet, exerc...

Title: The role of the dopaminergic system in the regulation of physical activity in mice
Author: Knab, Amy
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Genetics, Physiology
Description: Physical activity (PA) is important to human health, and the genetic and biological regulating factors of physical activity are only beginning to be understood. The dopamine (DA) system has been shown to regulate motivation, and locomotor behavior...

Title: The role of the sex steroids in regulation of physical activity levels in mice
Author: Bowen, Robert
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: Low physical activity (PA) levels are associated with many chronic diseases and place a massive burden on the health care system. The extrinsic environment has been suggested to regulate activity levels, but an increasing prevalence of physical in...
