Adiposity and fat loss in cancer: Exploring the prognostic significance and underlying mechanisms of adipose alterations in cancer
DownloadSpring 2017
During cancer progression, many patients will experience some degree of wasting of both muscle and adipose tissue. However, little is-known about adipose tissue alterations after a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this research was conducted to first understand the prognostic significance of adipose...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Neuropathic pain afflicts 1.5-3% of the general population. It can be initiated by traumatic nerve injuries or diseases such as diabetic or post-herpetic neuropathy. Neuropathic pain is often initiated by abnormal spontaneous activity in sensory neurons and this provokes increased excitability of...

Low maternal, gestational weight gain is associated with preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, low birthweight, small-for-gestational-age infants, neural tube defects, infant death, failure to initiate breastfeeding, and childhood asthma. The advantage of qualitative research is it can...

Regulation of Cardiac Gap Junctional Communication: Metabolic regulation of Cx40 and Cx43 via phosphorylation
DownloadFall 2015
Alterations in myocardial metabolism and cardiac electrophysiology associated with structural heart disease generate lethal arrhythmias. Differential levels of energy (ATP) supply and demand are generated with structural heart disease that is expected to activate 5’-amp activated protein kinase...

Modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as adiposity, are already associated with atherosclerotic progression in childhood. Less is known about whether physical activity (PA) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis in non-clinical samples of children. This...

The Expression of Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Proteins (TARPs) in Developing Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
DownloadFall 2013
In embryonic vertebrates, newly-formed synapses are quiet until they are unsilenced through a process that resembles synaptic plasticity but remains mechanistically unclear. I used gene expression to determine if Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Proteins (TARPs), AMPA receptor auxiliary...
