Effect Of Light Exposure During Pumping And Holder Pasteurization On Vitamin Concentrations In Human Milk, Hope Lima Feb 2019

Effect Of Light Exposure During Pumping And Holder Pasteurization On Vitamin Concentrations In Human Milk, Hope Lima

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

Donor human milk is a necessary secondary feeding option when mother’s own milk is unavailable. To ensure safety for premature and medically fragile infants, milk banks pasteurize donated milk. During pumping, storage, and pasteurization, all milk is exposed to light. Currently, milk banks do not regulate light exposure. Riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamin A are vitamins that are highly light labile. In this study, we aim to determine if light exposure during pumping, storage, and pasteurization in a milk bank setting causes degradation of vitamins in human milk.

Statement Of Betsy Ginsberg, Clinical Associate Professor Of Law & Director, Civil Rights Clinic, Benjamin N. Cardozo School Of Law U.S. Commission On Civil Rights Public Briefing: Women In Prison: Seeking Justice Behind Bars, Betsy Ginsberg

Testimony

Although men make up a significant majority of the country’s prison population, the United States has the highest rate of incarceration of women in the world.1 In recent years, women have been the fastest growing segment of our population in jails and prisons. The significant but insufficient decline we have seen with respect to the overall prison population eclipses or obscures the trend we have seen in the imprisonment of women. While the trends vary from state to state, the overall picture for women has been far worse than for men. In most states the women’s population has either grown, …

ETSU Faculty Works

Objectives We aimed to examine the association between immigrant generation and obesity among Californian adults and Asian Americans. Results Overall, 23.3% of the Asian population was obese, and 40.0% was overweight. The percentage of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation were 72.7%, 22.6%, and 4.6%, respectively. Overall, 1st generation of Asians had lower odds of being obese compared to Whites (OR = 0.34, 95%CI = 0.26–0.45). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that overall, 2nd generation (OR = 1.69, 95%CI = 1.10–2.60) and 3rd generation (OR = 2.33, 95%CI = 1.29–4.22) Asians had higher odds of being obese compared to 1st generation …


Evaluation Of Soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merr.] Genotypes For Yield, Water Use Efficiency, And Root Traits, Harrison Gregory Fried, Sruthi Narayanan, Benjamin Fallen Feb 2019

Evaluation Of Soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merr.] Genotypes For Yield, Water Use Efficiency, And Root Traits, Harrison Gregory Fried, Sruthi Narayanan, Benjamin Fallen

Publications

Drought stress has been identified as the major environmental factor limiting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield worldwide. Current breeding efforts in soybean largely focus on identifying genotypes with high seed yield and drought tolerance. Water use efficiency (WUE) that results in greater yield per unit rainfall is an important parameter in determining crop yields in many production systems, and is often related with crop drought tolerance. Even though roots are major plant organs that perceive and respond to drought stress, their utility in improving soybean yield and WUE under different environmental and management conditions are largely unclear. The …

Effects Of Fatty Acid Composition In A High Fat Diet On Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Content, Isaac N. Gandara, Shaan Naughton, Lannie O'Keefe, Anna Simcocks, Deanne Hryciw, Michael Mathai, Andrew Mcainch, Sudip Bajpeyi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

High fat diets (HFD) have been shown to impair skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and function, resulting in impaired lipid oxidation and insulin resistance. However, it is not well understood how the type of fatty acid (mixed fats, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA; predominately oleic acid) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; primarily linoleic acid)) affects mitochondrial content. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of HFD, differing in the major type of fatty acids, on skeletal muscle mitochondrial content. METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed a Western-style (21% by weight; 41% total energy) HFD for …


A Family History Of Type 2 Diabetes Does Not Impact Skeletal Muscle Lipid Content, Jasmin Jenkins, Sudip Bajpeyi Feb 2019

A Family History Of Type 2 Diabetes Does Not Impact Skeletal Muscle Lipid Content, Jasmin Jenkins, Sudip Bajpeyi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A high intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) has been associated not only with insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes; but also in insulin sensitive endurance trained athletes – known as “athlete’s paradox”. A family history of type 2 diabetes (FH+) has been shown as a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unclear whether a FH+ affects IMCL content and exercise induced changes in IMCL when compared to those without a family history of type 2 diabetes (FH-). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study were 1) to compare IMCL content between …

Intra-Day Variation In Lean Body Mass And Skeletal Muscle Mass Measures: A Pilot Study, Noe Deanda, Jordan B. Wainwright, Jeb F. Struder, Daniel Newmire

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Lean body mass (LBM) and its estimated measure of skeletal muscle mass (SKMM) is ~30 to ~40 % of total body weight. Measuring SKMM is an important assessment for both exercise and nutritional research. There is biological variation in dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) estimates related to subject presentation, changes in tissue hydration, as well as GI tract contents. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine how normal activities (e.g. eating, sleeping, exercise) influence LBM and SKMM measures using DXA in college students. METHODS: (Mean ± SEM; n = 42; Age: 26.9 ± 0.4 y; ht: 169.2 …


Exercise Leads To Increase In Smaller Lipid Droplet Morphology In Peripheral Region Of Muscle Fiber, Victoria Rosas Feb 2019

Exercise Leads To Increase In Smaller Lipid Droplet Morphology In Peripheral Region Of Muscle Fiber, Victoria Rosas

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

In a previous study, we have shown that high fat overfeeding results in decreased smaller lipid droplet density in the peripheral region of skeletal muscle fiber. This decrease was associated with high fat overfeeding induced weight gain and insulin resistance. However, it is not clear whether an acute bout of exercise (elevated fat oxidation state) affects lipid droplet size. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of a single bout of endurance exercise on skeletal muscle lipid content and lipid droplet size. METHODS: Ten healthy male volunteers (Mean ± SEM; age: 23.11 ± 0.98; BMI: 23.27 ± 0.50 kg/m2) participated …

Effects Of Exercise Modes To Improve Insulin Sensitivity And Fat Oxidation In Obese And Patients With Type 2 Diabetes – A Meta-Analysis., Mario Garcia, Sudip Bajpeyi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Exercise is effective in improving insulin sensitivity (IS) and resting fat oxidation in an obese and population with type 2 diabetic (T2D). However, most Americans do not adhere to the ACSM recommended exercise guidelines. The effectiveness of different exercise modes to improve IS and resting fat oxidation in obese and T2D individuals is unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the 1) effects of aerobic, resistance, and combination exercise training and 2) to determine the role of volume and intensity (aerobic) and repetitions and sets (resistance) on exercise induced improvements in IS and resting lipid oxidation …

A Comparison Of High-Intensity Interval Exercise And Continuous Moderate-Intensity Exercise On Postprandial Metabolism: A Pilot Analysis., David J. Buckley, Broderick L. Dickerson, James R. Rowe Jr

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Both moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) (performed for ≥ 1 hour) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) (performed for ≤ 30 minutes) has been reported to reduce the magnitude of postprandial lipemia and glycemia. It is unclear if low-volume MICE and HIIE performed for a similar duration and expending similar amounts of energy would have a comparable or different effect on postprandial lipemia or glycemia. PURPOSE: Examine the effects of low-volume MICE and HIIE on postprandial glucose, insulin, and triglyceride (TG) concentration following a mixed meal (MM) ingested at 0.5 hours and 15.5 hours post-exercise. METHODS: Recreationally active men (n = …
