Introduction: The popularity of endurance events has grown recently with an increased number of participants who have an elevated body fat percentage. The influence of chronic endurance training on adipose tissue physiology in these...
Osteoporosis is characterized as a disease of low bone density and increased fragility, which results in more than 8.9 million fractures annually, approximately one fracture every three seconds. Although osteoporosis is mainly present in...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major public health challenge and the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Atherosclerosis, a primary underlying cause of CVD, results from oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and excess...
The Relationship between Protein Intake on Factors Associated with Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Health in Individuals with Pre-and Type 2-Diabetes
Background and Significance: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes continues to increase. Many individuals are not aware of having the disease or early stages of the disease, pre-diabetes, until symptoms...
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a vascular disease that affects over 8 million Americans. PAD patients commonly have vascular dysfunction and difficulty walking due to pain in the legs during physical exertion. Walking therapy has...
Introduction: Due to the high metabolic demand of sport, it is essential that athletes meet their caloric need to support training, recovery, and muscle growth. Consuming protein before sleep may have positive effects on sleep, overnight...
Previous studies investigating the effects of high altitude (1500 – 3500 m) exposure on energy balance demonstrate various physiological adaptations that support negative energy balance, such as increases in resting metabolic rate and...
Muscle atrophy decreases physical function and overall health. Increased glucocorticoid production and/or use of prescription glucocorticoids can result in a myopathy that presents with significant muscle atrophy and weakness....
The skeletal muscle clock contributes to the regulation of skeletal muscle health and function. Mutations to the muscle clock result in decreased muscle mass and strength, diminished mitochondrial health, and altered substrate metabolism...
Due to the constant mental, physical, and thermal stress of firefighting, it is imperative to explore interventions that may mitigate any negative health effects the occupation brings to firefighters. One of those risks is heat related...
Purpose: To establish the relationship between the acute:chronic workload ratio and peak performance in division 1 NCAA track and field sprinters over the course of the 2018 outdoor season. Methods: The acute:chronic workload ratio was...
Hypogonadism contributes to limb skeletal muscle atrophy by increasing rates of muscle protein breakdown. Androgen depletion increases markers of the autophagy-mediated protein breakdown pathway that persist throughout the diurnal cycle....
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death, with age being the strongest predictor of cardiovascular health. Age-related changes to the vasculature such as endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening are believed to...
Pre-sleep protein has been shown to improve overnight muscle protein synthesis, muscle size and strength, and muscle recovery. However, all pre-sleep protein studies to date have utilized dairy-based protein sources. There is currently a...
Background: Aligning energy intake with the biological circadian rhythm and extending periods of fasting within a 24-h cycle improves whole-body metabolism. However, it is unknown if these improvements are related to changes in...
Osteoporosis has significant public health importance for both women and men, where 54% of the U.S. population age 50 and older have low bone mineral density (BMD). Chronic inflammation alters bone remodeling, which is one contributor to...
Aging is associated with decreased synthesis and increased degradation of muscle, bone, and connective tissue, leading to decrements in body wide structure and function. This depression in tissue turnover can lead to sarcopenia in...
While protein has been extensively studied in older adults, not as much is known about the relationship of amino acids and functional health outcomes in this population. This cross-sectional study characterized usual intakes of total and...
Introduction: Inflammation has been shown to play a role in a variety of disease states including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of daily prune consumption on inflammatory...
Declines in iron status are frequently reported in those who regularly engage in strenuous physical activity. A proposed reason is increases in the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin, which functions to inhibit dietary iron absorption and...
