Mitochondrial Integrity Distinguishes Exercise-Induced Vs. Pathogenic Cardiac Hypertrophy, Nicole Lee Yang Nov 2022

Mitochondrial Integrity Distinguishes Exercise-Induced Vs. Pathogenic Cardiac Hypertrophy, Nicole Lee Yang

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Cardiac hypertrophy is a consequence of exercise training, as well as certain cardiomyopathies. However, the key genetic drivers of cardiomyocellular remodeling in a healthy vs diseased heart are inadequately understood. PURPOSE: Determine the genetic architecture of exercise training-induced cardiomyocellular remodeling and hypertrophy. METHODS: The exercise hybrid mouse diversity panel (ExcHMDP) is comprised of 100 strains of Exc trained (TRN) and sedentary (SED) animals (n=4-8/strain per group). After 30d of exercise, running wheels were locked, and 24-hours post-exercise, 6h-fasted animals were euthanized and tissues harvested (~20 tissues/mouse). To interrogate pathogenic cardiac hypertrophy, isoproterenol (ISO, 30mg/kg/day for 21d) was administered to …


Are Race And Ethnicity Associated With How Hard The Heart Works During Submaximal Exercise? An Nhanes Study, Kiese Mpongo, Jayson Gifford Nov 2022

Are Race And Ethnicity Associated With How Hard The Heart Works During Submaximal Exercise? An Nhanes Study, Kiese Mpongo, Jayson Gifford

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Previous studies have indicated racial/ethnic differences in the vasodilator and blood pressure responses to exercise, but the extent to which race/ethnicity impacts how hard the heart works (i.e., rate pressure product, RPP) during a given submaximal exercise is unknown. PURPOSE: Determine the impact of race/ethnicity on the work of the heart (i.e., RPP) during submaximal exercise. METHODS: Exercise data from the 2003-2004 NHANES cohort were examined. Specifically, 189 Black Americans (51% female), 181 Mexican Americans (53% female) and 370 (56% female) White Americans completed two, 3-minutes stages of submaximal treadmill exercise. Blood pressure, heart rate and …

PURPOSE: The goal of the study was to determine the effect of altering running strategy on predicted running performance in distance runners through application of this novel prediction model. METHODS: Fifteen male (n=10; Age: 22.2 ± 4.9 years; Height: 177.7 ± 7.4 …


Assessing The Validity Of A Performance Prediction Model For Use With Gait Retraining, Christian Faltas, Robert Musci, Jenevieve L. Roper Nov 2022

Assessing The Validity Of A Performance Prediction Model For Use With Gait Retraining, Christian Faltas, Robert Musci, Jenevieve L. Roper

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A common strategy that athletic trainers and high-performance athletes use to manage and treat running-related injuries is gait retraining. However, the research is equivocal on how gait retraining can affect running economy and subsequent running performance in distance runners. A new prediction model was developed that predicts running performance based on oxygen consumption changes, however, it is unclear if this model is valid and can accurately be used to predict running performance as a result of gait retraining. PURPOSE: The goal of the study was to determine the validity of the performance prediction model, particularly when applied to gait …

Comparing Exercise Intensity As A Percentage Of The Age-Estimated Heart Rate Max Among Walking, Jogging, And Skipping, Jorge Perdomo Rodriguez, Dustin Davis, Nicole Vargas, Elias Malek, Bryson Carrier, Katherine Carlos, Bianca Weyers, James Navalta

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

BACKGROUND: Heart rate (HR) intensity in walking and running has been extensively studied. However, exploring the intensities of other activities such as skipping has been skipped over. Skipping is a playful activity usually performed in short bouts. The intensity and feasibility of skipping for several minutes is unclear. Studying HR during skipping may reveal that it is a novel and useful form of aerobic exercise. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare HR intensity among walking, running, and skipping. METHODS: Ten participants gave verbal and written consent and self-reported biological sex, age, height, and mass (5 male, 5 …

Functional Comparison Of Six-Minute Walk Tests Between Shod And Minimalist Footwear Individuals In Mid-Life: A Preliminary Pilot Study Analysis, Camille L. Nguyen, Aaron W. Johnson, Annie Smedley, Sarah T. Ridge

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Research has shown that wearing minimalistic footwear can increase intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscle size and strength,although the effect of transitioning from shod to minimalist footwear on gait functionality–such as performance on a six-minute walk test–is not well documented. PURPOSE: We observed the differences in a six-minute functional walk test between mid-life (45yrs-65yrs) individuals who transitioned to minimalist footwear (MF) over a fourteen month period compared to habitually shod (HS) individuals. METHODS: Twenty mid-life individuals participated in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to either the MF (n=8, age= 56.5 ± 5.18 yrs, height= 162.71 ± 7.69 cm, …


Time Course Evaluation Of Mapk Phosphorylation To Resistance Exercise: A Systematic Review, Justin X. Nicoll, Christopher J. Lee Nov 2022

Time Course Evaluation Of Mapk Phosphorylation To Resistance Exercise: A Systematic Review, Justin X. Nicoll, Christopher J. Lee

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) are intramuscular cell signaling proteins that regulate adaptations to resistance exercise (RE). The MAPKs extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p90RSK, and p38-MAPK increase during and after RE. Despite the well-known increase in post-RE phosphorylation responses of MAPK, the time-course and pattern of their activation remains unclear and poorly described. The ability to clearly define phosphorylation patterns during recovery are limited due to the variety of RE protocols implemented and populations tested when investigating MPAK responses to RE. PURPOSE: To systematically review literature on exercise-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38-MAPK, and …

10-Year Weight Change And Biological Aging In A Random Sample Of 3,059 U.S. Adults, Joshua Brockbank, Larry A. Tucker

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Telomeres play a key role in the protection of chromosomes. A good index of biological aging is the length of telomeres. Telomeres gradually shorten over time. Hence, they are strongly related to chronological age. Lifestyle is also an important factor influencing telomere length. PURPOSE: This investigation was designed to study the relationship between 10-yr weight change and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in a large sample of 3,059 randomly selected U.S. adults, 35-70 years old. METHODS: NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) data were used with a cross-sectional design to determine the relationship between percent weight change and LTL. Percent …

Strength Training And Biological Aging: Telomere Evidence From A National Sample Of 4,813 U.S. Adults, Carson J. Bates, Larry A. Tucker

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Telomere length is an index of biological aging. As humans age, their telomeres become progressively shorter. Additionally, healthy lifestyle practices are associated with longer telomeres and unhealthy habits predict shorter telomeres. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the association between weekly time spent strength training (ST) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in 4,813 randomly selected U.S. adults, 20-69 years old. METHODS: Data collected as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was employed to answer the research question using a cross-sectional design. The findings are generalizable to the U.S. adult population. Time spent ST per wk was calculated by …

The Effects Of Floral And Social Information On Bumblebee Forager Learning And Memory, Avery Hume Baker Nov 2022

The Effects Of Floral And Social Information On Bumblebee Forager Learning And Memory, Avery Hume Baker

Theses

Bumblebees rely on information gathered from their environment to make the best choices they can when foraging for pollen and nectar. The type of information gathered should influence how a bee learns and remembers it, but other factors such as the size of the bee’s brain may also play a role in the learning and remembering process. While social information learned from other organisms and information gathered directly from flowers can each be used alone to improve both the efficiency with which a bee learns to forage from a flower and how accurately and how long the bee remembers these …

Responses To Validating Versus Reframing Support Strategies As A Function Of Borderline Personality Features And Interpersonal Problems, Stella Nicolaou, Sydney F. Goldberg, Kaley M. Michael, Kathy R. Berenson Nov 2022

Responses To Validating Versus Reframing Support Strategies As A Function Of Borderline Personality Features And Interpersonal Problems, Stella Nicolaou, Sydney F. Goldberg, Kaley M. Michael, Kathy R. Berenson

Psychology Faculty Publications

We examined whether borderline personality features may be differentially associated with reactions to social support strategies involving validation (acknowledging distress as normal) vs. reframing (highlighting opportunities for positive outcomes). After completing self-report measures of their borderline personality features and interpersonal problems, participants rated their reactions to receiving either validation or reframing support (randomly assigned) from a close friend with whom they imagined sharing hypothetical negative experiences. Borderline personality features were associated with less positive responses to reframing than to validation, and a tendency to interpret reframing support as an assertion of dominance. Moderated mediation analyses further showed that associations between …


Il-33 Promotes Increased Replication Of Theiler’S Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus In Raw264.7 Macrophage Cells With An Irf3-Dependent Response, Ahmed Esmael, Thomas M. Petro Nov 2022

Il-33 Promotes Increased Replication Of Theiler’S Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus In Raw264.7 Macrophage Cells With An Irf3-Dependent Response, Ahmed Esmael, Thomas M. Petro

Nebraska Center for Virology: Faculty Publications

Interleukin-33 (IL-33), which promotes M2 macrophage development, may influence the control of viruses, such as Theiler’s Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus (TMEV) that infect macrophages. Because Interferon Regulatory Factor-3 (IRF3) is also critical to control of TMEV infection in macrophages, information on the relationship between IL-33 and IRF3 is important. Thus, RAW264.7 Lucia murine macrophage lineage cells with an endogenous IRF3-ISRE promoter driving secreted luciferase and IRF3KO RAW Lucia, a subline deficient in IRF3, were challenged with TMEV. After the challenge, considerable TMEV RNA detected at 18 and 24 h in RAW cells was significantly elevated in IRF3KO RAW cells. TMEV induction …
