Adipose tissue and liver adaptations in exercised versus non-exercised rats fed a ketogenic diet, western diet, or standard rodent chow
Holland, Angelia Maleah (2016-03-31)
BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD), versus other diets, on adipose tissue, liver and serum biomarkers in exercise-trained versus sedentary rodents. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley ...
Comparison of the physiology and morphology of white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) under semi-natural, laboratory, and wild environments
Yamada, KayLene (2024-07-24) ETD File Embargoed
Environment can be an incredibly impactful factor on the physiology and morphology of an animal. Research is often conducted under highly controlled laboratory conditions or in the field on wild populations. Experiments ...
Differences between linear volume resistance training versus variable resistance training in skeletal muscle molecular adaptations
Fox, Carlton (2021-07-07)
Although several studies have examined the strength and hypertrophy adaptations in response to lower versus higher volume resistance training, examining the metabolic and morphological adaptations that occur to both forms ...
Effects of Aging and Exercise on Mitochondrial Physiology
Caldeira Mesquita, Paulo Henrique (2023-04-24) ETD File Embargoed
Mitochondria are organelles which main function is to generate energy in the form of ATP, although they are involved in a myriad of cellular processes. Mitochondria form a dynamic network that responds to the energetic ...
The Effects of Leucine or Different Protein Supplements on Muscle Hypertrophy after 12 Weeks of Resistance Training in Untrained Men
Mobley, Christopher Brooks (2017-10-24)
Purpose: We sought to determine the effects of L-leucine (LEU) or different protein supplements standardized to LEU (~3.0 g/serving) on changes in body composition, strength, and histological attributes in skeletal muscle ...
Energetic tradeoffs between reproduction and longevity in the house mouse (Mus musculus)
Mowry, Annelise (2015-07-21)
Energy investment in reproduction comes at the cost of other life history traits, including future reproductive output and ultimately, lifespan. The disposable soma theory suggests that there is a negative relationship ...
Inclusive Research Representation and Blood Lactate as a Metabolic Biomarker of Vocal Function: Equitable Development of a Vocal Capacity Anaerobic Task
Morton-Jones, Mariah (2024-08-07) ETD File Embargoed
Voice production is a highly coordinated motor-based task that involves the integration of three major anatomical and physiological skeletal muscle systems: respiratory, laryngeal (phonatory), and articulatory (oropharyngeal) ...
Investigating mitochondria-induced premature aging due to reproduction and environment in semi-natural enclosed wild-derived house mice
Williams, Ashley (2023-05-02) ETD File Embargoed
Reproduction is a highly energetic process requiring both prenatal and postnatal investment for female mammals. Under the disposable soma theory (DST), prenatal investment includes reallocation of resources used to maintain ...
An investigation of the mitochondria as a potential source of racial differences in reactive oxygen species production and cellular respiration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy adults
Gomez, Dulce (2022-04-11) ETD File Embargoed
Background: Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) adults exhibit a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to Non-Hispanic White (NHW) adults. Vascular oxidative stress may be one contributing factor to these racial ...
Line-1 Retrotransposition and the Impact on Aging Rodent Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Mumford, Petey (2019-04-16)
Purpose: Long INterspersed Element 1 (LINE-1) is a class 1 transposable element known as a retrotransposon. LINE-1 is thought of as a genomic parasite due to its reverse transcription machinery, and ability to randomly ...
The Mechanistic Basis for Improved Metabolic Health in Females Following Lactation
Hyatt, Hayden (2017-07-25)
Human epidemiological data show that breastfeeding reduces the mother’s
prevalence of many disease conditions such as obesity, type II diabetes, and
hypertension compared to mothers that give birth but do not breastfeed. ...
Mitochondrial Respiration, Oxidative Capacity, and Oxidative Stress in Skeletal Muscle
Parry, Hailey (2021-04-09)
Biologists and physiologists have been interested in the differences between birds and mammals for many years. Part of this is due to the distinct differences observed in fat breakdown in these animals. Importantly, fat ...
Oxidative and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Response to Reproduction in the Female Mouse Brain
Taylor, Halie (2019-04-16)
Reproduction is associated with a significant increase in energetic demand, particularly among small female mammals. When these demands are high, or an animal is under stress, the cost of reproduction can reduce future ...
The persistent effects of stress during lactation on maternal and offspring mitochondria
Andreasen, Victoria (2020-07-13)
An increase of circulating glucocorticoids in reproductive females may augment allocation of
resources towards self-maintenance and away from offspring. Thus, elevated circulating
glucocorticoids may negatively affect ...
Testing the Shared-Pathway Hypothesis through experimentation on the mating behavior, carotenoid biosynthesis, and mitochondrial function of Tigriopus californicus
Powers, Matthew (2022-07-13)
For decades, scientists have noted connections between individual condition and carotenoid-based coloration in terrestrial and aquatic animals. Organisms that produce more vibrant carotenoid-based coloration tend to have ...
What do we really know about oxidative stress? Facing the problems with current oxidative stress studies in passerine birds.
Santos, Alexandra (2017-07-27)
Oxidative stress occurs in organisms when there are not enough antioxidants to satiate reactive oxygen species formed during oxidative phosphorylation within the mitochondria. The excess in reactive oxygen species can cause ...
