A Single 10-Minute Vape Exposure Alters Ventilation In Adult Rats, Mila Fisher, Jennifer A. Stokes
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
E-cigarettes, also known as electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), are an alternative to the traditional cigarette. ENDS function using a heating device (e.g. “vape pen”, such as JUUL) to heat liquids containing nicotine and other chemicals. Recent research in humans and animal models suggests that acute exposure (5 to 60 minutes) to e-cigarette vapor increases airway resistance and proinflammatory cytokine presence in lung tissue. These acute effects may lead to long term functional changes in the lung and tissue changes at the respiratory membrane. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an acute 10-minute …

Selective Inhibition Of Ribosomal Biogenesis Over Cap-Dependent Translation By Rapamycin In L6 Myotubes, Selina Uranga, James D. Fluckey
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The mechanistic target of rapamycin, or mTOR, lies at the center of skeletal muscle anabolic regulation. The mTOR kinase has at least two complexes that aide in carrying out responses to anabolic signals. Complex 1 (mTORC1) activation leads to cap-dependent translation and ribosomal biogenesis via phosphorylation of its two downstream targets 4EBP1 and P70S6K respectively. mTORC1 is inhibited by rapamycin while mTORC2 is not; however, cap-dependent translation via mTORC1 may still occur under rapamycin inhibition. PURPOSE: To identify timing and mechanistic pathway by which selective skeletal muscle anabolism continues in the presence of rapamycin inhibition. METHODS: Murine L6 …

Role Of Ghrelin Receptor In Sarcopenia: Involvement Of Redox Signaling And Rankl., Mariam A. Othman, Joo Hyun Kim, Khaled Moustfa, John Lawler
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Sarcopenia is aging-induced debilitating loss of skeletal muscle strength and function. Evidence from aging research suggests an integration of disrupted mechanotransduction and oxidative stress elevation that leads to muscle atrophy. Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide hormone circulating in both acylated (AG) and unacylated (UAG) forms that acts as a nutrient sensor and metabolic regulator. Acylated ghrelin then binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) or the “ghrelin receptor.” Emerging evidence indicates that GHS-R knockout may hold greater promise in protecting against sarcopenia and fasting-induced atrophy (Wu 2020, Sun 2020). Furthermore, ghrelin can promote the elevation of nNOS, …
