Mitochondrial Dysfunction Is Evident In Lewis Lung Carcinoma-Induced Muscle Wasting, Conner Benson, David E. Lee, Nicholas P. Greene, Jacob L. Brown, Megan E. Rosa, Tyrone A. Washington, Michael P. Wiggs

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Cancer cachexia is a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with adverse prognosis and shortened survival. The defining feature of cachexia is extensive muscle atrophy leading to progressive functional impairments. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the rapid muscle wasting are not fully elucidated. Based on emerging evidence, we developed the hypothesis cachectic muscle wasting is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction increasing reactive oxygen species production leading to global oxidative stress. To test this hypothesis we utilized the well-established Lewis-Lung Carcinoma (LLC) model of cancer cachexia. The time-course study consisted of one, two, three and four week LLC tumor bearing mice and age-matched four week …

Effects Of Acute Vaporized Nicotine In Non-Tobacco Users At Rest And During Exercise, Juan Mejia, Jeremy Garcia, William H. Cooke, Caroline A. Rickards, Donovan L. Fogt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Smokers, and even non-smokers, may utilize vaporized nicotine delivered by electronic cigarette (EC) due to the perception that EC are “healthier” than traditional tobacco cigarettes. The effects of vaporized nicotine delivered by EC on resting blood pressure (BP) and metabolic rate (RMR), or BP and aerobic power during exercise have not been studied. This investigation tested the effects of acute vaporized nicotine inhalation by EC on resting BP and RMR and cycle exercise BP, metabolic responses, and aerobic power in young, normotensive non-smokers. Using a double-blind design, 20 subjects (10 female; 23.1±2.5 years, 1.69±0.1 m, 70.6±14.9 kg; 22.1±11.0% body fat) …

Cardiorespiratory Responses During 2-Person Cpr Using Two Assisted Cpr Devices Versus Manual Cpr, Richard Vega Ii, William H. Cooke, Klarissa Sosa, Elizabeth Vega, Donovan L. Fogt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Active Compression-decompression-CPR (ACD-CPR) requires rescuers to perform work during both phases of CPR. ACD-CPR provides active pre-loading of a patient’s heart with venous return as well as enhanced stroke volume during resuscitation. Prolonged, one-person CPR is exhausting and associated with decayed CPR quality over time. Active compression-decompression-CPR (ACD-CPR) requires the rescuer to actively work during both phases of CPR. We evaluated the metabolic cost of manual CPR (M-CPR), ACD-CPR1, and ACD-CPR2 (with adhesive pad) during a 10-min resuscitation period. We hypothesized that the metabolic cost for the devices would be similar to M-CPR. Twenty (10 female) participants (23.5±3.5y, 165.8±25.6cm, 72.5±12.2kg) …

Expired air was analyzed for estimations of metabolic cost via indirect calorimetry. Participants rested for 10 minutes before the baseline data collection followed …


Effects Of Acute Cold Exposure On Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Cardiovascular Disease, Clarissa Garza, Karina Samsuhadi, Ana Seatty, Sarah Ullevig, Donovan L. Fogt Feb 2016

Effects Of Acute Cold Exposure On Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Cardiovascular Disease, Clarissa Garza, Karina Samsuhadi, Ana Seatty, Sarah Ullevig, Donovan L. Fogt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Inflammatory cytokines and lipid mediators are used as biomarkers for CVD risk. Cold exposure has been suggested to improve some of these biomarkers. We measured cardiovascular inflammatory and lipid biomarkers to expand our knowledge of cold exposure and CVD risk. Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1 B) and Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2) are inflammatory cytokines associated with various disease states. Free fatty acids (FFA) are released from fat cells in response to stress. We evaluated the effects of acute 30 min cold exposure on these blood biomarkers. We hypothesized that the inflammatory markers and plasma FFA levels would increase at 2-h post-cold exposure. …

Effects Of Exercise And Nexrutine® On Biomarkers Of Cachexia In Tramp Mice, Kira L. Pamerleau, Paul Rivas, Nicolas Musi, Addanki Pratap Kumar, Darpan Patel

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Cachexia is a major adverse effect of prostate cancer (PCa) and leads to functional impairment and poor quality of life. The pathophysiology of cachexia is complex and includes an imbalance of anabolic and catabolic factors. Oncologists often encourage nutritional and physical interventions to improve cancer outcomes. However, it is unclear how these interventions affect the pathophysiology of PCa-induced cachexia. PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that exercise and Nexrutine® (a natural product derived from the bark of the Amur cork tree) can modulate cachexia in a transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP) model. METHODS: Ten-week old TRAMP mice were randomized …


A Study Comparing Pre-Ingested L-Leucine And L-Isoleucine On Glycemic Responses In Healthy Inactive Adults: Preliminary Data., Daniel E. Newmire, Eric Rivas, Sarah E. Deemer, Victor Ben-Ezra Feb 2016

A Study Comparing Pre-Ingested L-Leucine And L-Isoleucine On Glycemic Responses In Healthy Inactive Adults: Preliminary Data., Daniel E. Newmire, Eric Rivas, Sarah E. Deemer, Victor Ben-Ezra

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Background The co-ingestion of amino acids with a glucose drink has been shown to blunt the elevated post-prandial glucose response. Though not entirely clear, some suggest amino acids will facilitate an incretin-driven insulin response that improves glucose sensitivity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the “priming” effect of pre-ingested amino acids on glycemic control in healthy inactive adults. We present here some preliminary data from 7 adults. Hypothesis We hypothesize that the pre-ingested amino acids would attenuate the post-prandial rise in glucose during a 75 g glucose tolerance test. Methods To test this, seven healthy adults (Females: …

Methods: The purpose of this study was to compare the metabolic effects during a similar bout of exercise on the Fish and Kangaroo Machine (FKM) and a cycle ergometer. Recreationally active individuals (men, women; N=13) completed two workouts, one on the FKM and the other on the cycle ergometer. The exercise protocol included intervals alternating between exercise (3-min) and rest (3-min) for a total duration of 23-min. After the 1st exercise bout (on the FKM) the heart rate response …


Effects Of Dehydration On Resistance Training: An Ongoing Study, Matthew O. Mccullough, Joshua J. Gann, Thomas L. Andre, Sarah K. Mckinley, Darryn S. Willoughby Feb 2016

Effects Of Dehydration On Resistance Training: An Ongoing Study, Matthew O. Mccullough, Joshua J. Gann, Thomas L. Andre, Sarah K. Mckinley, Darryn S. Willoughby

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Introduction: Dehydration via hot bath has been shown to impair resistance training performance when performed the same day. The performance decrements in this instance could potentially be due to a combination of the dehydration and residual effects of the heat exposure and not of the dehydration alone. To date, no research has examined the effects of previous night dehydration on resistance training performance. Purpose: The purpose of this ongoing study was to determine the effects of previous night dehydration on performance and perceptual measures during a full-body resistance training protocol. Methods: Healthy, resistance trained males (n = 4) completed two …

The Effects Of Short-Term Detraining And Subsequent Retraining On Body Composition And Muscle Performance In Males Consuming A Whey Protein Or Carbohydrate Supplement, Paul S. Hwang, Thomas L. Andre, Sarah K. Mckinley-Barnard, Joshua J. Gann, Flor E. Morales, Grant M. Tinsley, Darryn Willoughby Phd

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

An acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) can up-regulate processes that stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Additionally, nutritional strategies involving carbohydrate (CHO) and whey protein (WP) supplementation can augment MPS. However, resistance training (RT) induced muscle anabolism during the early phases of training can attenuate over time. The use of a short-term cessation of training (detraining; DT) can potentially restore the attenuated muscular anabolic adaptive responses. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a successive cycle of detraining and retraining (ReT) in humans on body composition and muscle performance. Resistance-trained males (age 20.95 ± 1.23 …


Protein Assimilation, Usage And Storage, Franklen Phares, Frank B. Wyatt Feb 2016

Protein Assimilation, Usage And Storage, Franklen Phares, Frank B. Wyatt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Common concerns among athletes regarding protein consumption are the following: what protein type(s) is best suited for their particular needs; what amounts of protein should be consumed for their supplementation; and lastly, what should the timing of protein consumption be, for prime utilization in the body? There is a recommended daily allowance (RDA) by the National Institute of Health (NIH). The NIH recommends that an individual should be ingesting 0.8g/kg of body weight a day. Active individuals who include resistance training into their daily regime may need more than the RDA. The purpose of this study is to determine if …


Effect Of Pre-Exercise Nutrition On Human Skeletal Muscle Ucp3 Expression, Elisa Morales, Jeffrey S. Forsse, Thomas Andre, Sarah K. Mckinley, Paul Hwang, Grant Tinsley, John Davis, Mike Spillane, Peter Grandjean, Darryn Willoughby Phd Feb 2016

Effect Of Pre-Exercise Nutrition On Human Skeletal Muscle Ucp3 Expression, Elisa Morales, Jeffrey S. Forsse, Thomas Andre, Sarah K. Mckinley, Paul Hwang, Grant Tinsley, John Davis, Mike Spillane, Peter Grandjean, Darryn Willoughby Phd

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

BACKGROUND: Increased UCP3 expression in skeletal muscle after exercise may be attributed to elevated free fatty acids (FFA) that are known to directly activate UCP3 expression. Pre-exercise glucose consumption has shown to blunt UCP3 expression in response to exercise. Since glucose ingestion before and during exercise is typically not a common practice, the goal of the present study was to assess the effect of a multi-macronutrient meal (drinkable shake) in the pre-exercise period towards human skeletal muscle UCP3 expression. METHODS: Using a crossover design, untrained participants performed an endurance exercise session (350 kcal at 70% of their VO2max) …


Comparison Of Calorie Counting Vs. Self Evaluation Methodology For Weight Loss, Sarah C. Hachar, Marisa K. Mccormack, Brittany Crim Feb 2016

Comparison Of Calorie Counting Vs. Self Evaluation Methodology For Weight Loss, Sarah C. Hachar, Marisa K. Mccormack, Brittany Crim

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major health concern in the United States and one way to control it is through proper nutrition techniques (BRFSS, 2007, 2009). One technique, calorie counting, is used to control energy intake. Mindful eating, another technique, requires individuals to understand and interpret internal cues that control hunger (Timmerman, 2012). Smartphone applications have been created in order to facilitate these two techniques. Although both techniques have been proven efficacious in specific settings, the two techniques when supported by digital applications have never been compared. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of digital support in …


Impact Of Anti-Resorptive Treatment On Recovery Of Bone After Disuse, Michael J. Junior, Corinne Metzger, Scott E. Lenfest, Ramon Boudreaux, Harry A. Hogan, Susan Bloomfield Feb 2016

Impact Of Anti-Resorptive Treatment On Recovery Of Bone After Disuse, Michael J. Junior, Corinne Metzger, Scott E. Lenfest, Ramon Boudreaux, Harry A. Hogan, Susan Bloomfield

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Bisphosphonates (BP), drugs that inhibit bone resorption, are used to minimize bone loss in long-duration spaceflight, extended bed rest, and acute spinal cord injury; however, the long term impact of BP use on recovery of bone after disuse is not well understood. This experiment tests the hypothesis that the BP zoledronic acid (ZOL) administered 7 days before hindlimb unloading (HU) will protect against loss of bone mass during 28 days of HU by suppressing bone resorption activity while also diminishing the ability of cancellous bone formation rate (BFR) to recover following HU. Male Sprague Dawley rats (6 mo) were assigned …

Energy Expenditure Overestimation Bias In Elliptical Trainer Machine, Kelsey Mclaughlin, Bethany Noack, Jorge Z. Granados, Rick Sperling, Mark Roltsch, Stephen F. Crouse

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Elliptical trainers are a common mode of aerobic exercise in recreationally active populations. Those with a weight loss goal might rely upon the energy expenditure (EE) estimation that many elliptical brands provide to keep track of calories (kcals) burned and make nutritional decisions. For this reason, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithms used by elliptical trainers to estimate EE. The purpose of this study was to compare EE estimates by a common brand of elliptical trainer to that measured using open circuit spirometry, at different combinations of resistance and pedal speed. Twenty subjects (10 male, 10 …


The Effect Of Sex And Age On Selection Of Weight Loss Method, Gena D. Guerin Feb 2016

The Effect Of Sex And Age On Selection Of Weight Loss Method, Gena D. Guerin

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The high rate of overweight and obesity in the United States has contributed to increased efforts in weight management. National Health and Nutritional Exam Survey (NHANES) data collected from 2011-2012 revealed 35% of the 6,175 survey respondents confirmed that they tried to lose weight in that time period. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether sex and age affected the selection of weight loss method. Using Chi Square analysis, NHANES data were utilized to determine if the frequency of choosing a particular weight loss method was associated with either sex or age. Predetermined age groups were: 18 …


The Effects Of Caffeine Ingestion On Sodium-Aided Hyperhydration, Elizaveta Roslanova, David M. Morris Feb 2016

The Effects Of Caffeine Ingestion On Sodium-Aided Hyperhydration, Elizaveta Roslanova, David M. Morris

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Sodium-aided hyperhydration has been shown to reduce rates of dehydration, improve performance, and alleviate markers of physical stress during endurance exercise in the heat. Caffeine use as an ergogenic and through casual consumption of foods is common among endurance athletes; but caffeine can have diuretic effects and its use prior to exercise may compromise hydration status and exercise performance by promoting fluid excretion. PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of caffeine consumption on sodium-aided hyperhydration. METHODS: Fifteen well-hydrated male subjects (21 ± 2 yr, 176 ± 6 cm, 80.2 ± 10.1 kg) who were free from known renal, digestive, and cardiovascular …
