Intracranial Infusions Of Neurotensin Agonists Produce An Anxiolytic Profile In A Rat Ultrasonic Vocalization Model, Floyd F. Steele Iii
Intracranial Infusions Of Neurotensin Agonists Produce An Anxiolytic Profile In A Rat Ultrasonic Vocalization Model, Floyd F. Steele Iii
All NMU Master's Theses
Neurotensin (NT) is a peptide neurotransmitter that interacts with brain monoamine neurotransmitter systems. It has been demonstrated that neurotensin type 1 and type 2 receptor agonists influence animal models of psychological disorders and pain regulation, respectively. It has already been shown that the systemic administration of the selective neurotensin type 1 receptor agonist PD149163 can attenuate the number of fear-induced 22-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) produced by male Wistar rats. A reduction in the number of 22-kHz USV calls is indicative of an anxiolytic effect. The current study used a USV model to evaluate the effects of PD149163 (0.1, 1.0, and …
Exercise Intensity And Performance Aspects Of Snow Biking Through The Use Of A Fat Bike, Kevin C. Phillips
Exercise Intensity And Performance Aspects Of Snow Biking Through The Use Of A Fat Bike, Kevin C. Phillips
All NMU Master's Theses
The aim of this study was to quantify, describe, and compare the exercise intensity and performance aspects of riding a fat bike, in a time trial (TT) format, on a natural earthen trail (ET) vs. on a groomed snow trail (ST). Eleven subjects, nine males and two females, participated in this two part study. Heart rate (HR) was used to quantify exercise intensity, examining average heart rate (HRavg), and peak heart rate (HRpeak). In addition, a global positioning system (GPS) watch was used to assess time to complete the trail, average speed (speedavg), and …

A Cohort Study Investigating Autoantibody Levels During And After Infection With Influenza A Virus, Michelle Collins
A Cohort Study Investigating Autoantibody Levels During And After Infection With Influenza A Virus, Michelle Collins
All NMU Master's Theses
Antinuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) are present in all individuals. In those with autoimmune diseases they are routinely present in elevated levels. Although the nature and development of autoimmune diseases are not fully understood there are many hypotheses as to possible causes of an autoimmune disorder. One possible cause is viral infections. The scope of this thesis study was to examine if autoantibodies levels in individuals without autoimmune disorders increase during or after infection with influenza A virus. Blood was collected from volunteers (n=11) at time intervals of 0, 7, 42 and 63 days, respectively. Antibody levels were measured using ELISA assays …

The Effects Of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise In Normobaric Hypoxia On Aerobic Capacity And Body Composition In Overweight And Obese Sedentary Adults, Max W. Adolphs
All NMU Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine if high intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) combined with normobaric hypoxia had a multiplicative effect on body composition, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in overweight and obese sedentary adults. Twelve participates were recruited for the study. Participants were randomly assigned to either a hypoxic training (HT) group equivalent to 3,048 m (FIO2 = 14.5%) or a normoxic training (NT) group equivalent to 0 m (FIO2 = 20.9%) three times a week for six weeks in a normobaric hypoxic chamber. HIIE consisted …
