Effects Of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 On Adipocyte Differentiation, Kimberly Causey
Effects Of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 On Adipocyte Differentiation, Kimberly Causey
Masters Theses
Several recent reports from this laboratory demonstrate a regulatory role for intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) in modulating lipid metabolism in both human and murine adipocytes, with increased [Ca2+]i coordinately stimulating lipogenesis and inhibiting lipolysis, thereby expanding lipid mass. Further, we have recently demonstrated that
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 [1,25-(0H)2-D3] stimulates adipocyte membrane vitamin D receptor (m VDR)-mediated rapid Ca2+ influx into adipocytes, resulting in the stimulation of lipogenesis and inhibition of lipolysis. However, increasing [Ca2+]i in the early stages of differentiation inhibits human adipocyte differentiation, whereas increasing [Ca2+] …

Validation Of Multicultural Nutrition Counseling Competencies For Registered Dietitians, Reena Oza
Masters Theses
Objective: To validate the multicultural nutrition counseling competencies for entry-level dietitians in the next 10 years.
Design: An expert panel was asked to review the original 46 competencies and make appropriate changes. Their responses were compiled and incorporated into a survey. The survey was administered by mail and consisted of 56 competency items that subjects rated on a Likert scale of 1 to 7 (1=Somewhat essential to 7=Absolutely essential). Following the mail survey a post card reminder was sent followed by a follow-up survey to non-respondents, another post card reminder, and a final survey to a random sample of the …
