A Retrospective Analysis of the Safety and Efficacy of a 6-Week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program in Patients with Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
DownloadSpring 2014
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is progressive disease characterized by reduced exercise capacity and decreased quality of life. Despite the availability of disease targeted therapies outcomes remain sub-optimal. Pulmonary Rehabilitation has proven to improve outcomes in other chronic...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is implicated in several vascular diseases through endothelial dysfunction. Most of the research on CMV has focused on either congenital CMV infections or CMV disease in immunocompromised hosts; however, CMV has also been associated with vascular diseases in...

Does methylation of the brain promoter region of Cyp19 impact the development of sex-typical psychological traits?
DownloadFall 2017
While humans demonstrate sexually differentiated psychological and behavioural traits, such as aggression, there is a vast amount of within-sex variation for these traits. Further, the effect size of these sex differences is relatively small and there is a large amount of overlap between males...

Effect of dietary nitrate on sympathetic vasoconstriction in resting and contracting skeletal muscle
DownloadFall 2015
Dietary nitrate (NO3-) may increase nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and alter the control of blood flow at rest and during exercise. This thesis investigated the effect of dietary NO3- supplementation on sympathetic mediated control of skeletal muscle blood flow in resting and contracting...

Investigating the Effects of N2-Acetylphenelzine in the Sexes in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
DownloadFall 2017
Chronic pain is a highly prevalent symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and affects approximately half of patients at some stage of the disease. MS affects women more frequently than men and neuropathic pain is also reported as more severe, and frequent, in females with the disease. The underlying...

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 and Clusterin (CLU) C alleles are risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and preclinical cognitive and memory decline in older adults. We investigated whether memory resilience to genetic risk (i.e., Apolipoprotein E [APOE] ɛ4, Clusterin [CLU] CC, and a high additive...

Skeletal Muscle Sympathetic Vasoconstrictor Control Following Short-Term Mild- and Heavy-Intensity Exercise Training
DownloadFall 2013
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of short-term endurance exercise training (ET) on sympathetic vasoconstriction in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. To achieve these aims, rats were exercise trained on a motorized treadmill and an anesthetised whole animal in situ...

The effect of aerobic fitness on the cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system response to physiological stress at rest and during dynamic exercise
DownloadFall 2012
A cardio-protective adaptation associated with aerobic fitness may be an attenuated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and cardiovascular response to stress. The hypothesis that the cardiovascular and SNS responses to physiological stress at rest and during exercise would be a function of...

The effect of eight weeks of home based aerobic exercise training on peak exercise oxygen consumption, six-minute walk test distance, thigh muscle mass, and health related quality of life in Child Pugh class A and B cirrhosis patients
DownloadFall 2017
Purpose: Cirrhosis patients have reduced peak aerobic power (peak VO2) that is associated with reduced survival. Supervised endurance training is an effective therapy to increase exercise tolerance in cirrhosis. The effect of home-based endurance exercise training (HET) on improving peak VO2 in...
