Blood lactate concentrations and heart rate levels surrounding exercise provide valuable insight into the physiological response to advancing workloads, but minimal research has been published involving yearling horses. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The purpose of this exploratory case study was to describe an expert teachers decision-making system during interactive instruction using teacher self-report information, classroom observation data, and physiological ...
-
(2009-06-02)Although lymphatic vessel behavior is analogous to hearts (e.g. systole and diastole) and blood vessels (e.g. basal tone), hearts and blood vessels have fundamentally different contractile properties. While summation during ...
-
(2017-07-18)Being the largest tissue that accounts for 40-50% of overall metabolism in non-obese individuals, skeletal muscle is a modifiable target for reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Resistance exercise induces cell signaling ...
-
(2018-06-08)Spaceflight exerts multiple environmental pressures upon astronauts causing both short and long-term physiological adaptations that may be debilitating and interfere with the ability for crewmembers to optimally function ...
-
(2013-02-04)The generation and maintenance of muscle mass is a subject of interest across many scientific fields, including cancer, diabetes, and exercise physiology. Protein synthesis is a key step in the development and maintenance ...
-
(2009-05-15)Based on the ‘free radical theory of aging,’ I hypothesized that hypoxia caused by the mammalian dive response induces free radical production which could modulate or accelerate cellular aging. On the other hand, to prevent ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Induced molting is process used by commercial producers to extend the reproductive life of a laying hen. Typically, producers deprive hens of feed for a period of 7-14 days while reducing the amount of light exposure to ...
-
(2020-11-04)Tomato production is vulnerable to extreme heat during the spring-summer cropping season, exacerbated by a lack of superior genetic materials that can perform well in such environments. The selection of resilient varieties ...
-
(2021-04-08)New Zealand sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri) were extirpated from the North and South Islands of New Zealand during pre-European native hunting, and their numbers were greatly reduced on the Auckland and Campbell Islands ...

(2021-04-28)This experiment compared physiological, health, and performance responses of beef heifers assigned to different commingling schemes (1, 2, or 4 sources/pen) during a 56-d feedlot receiving period. Ninety-six recently weaned ...
-
(2017-06-24)The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine the influence of genetic profiling on diet type and exercise for weight loss, body composition, and biomarkers of metabolic health in previously sedentary women. ...
-
(2015-04-02)The role of glucose in self-control has been under heated debate. Recent studies have suggested that both swishing and ingesting glucose can improve self-control, casting doubt on the idea that reduced self-control results ...
-
(2017-05-10)Mental stress is a global epidemic that can have serious health consequences including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Several techniques are available to teach stress self-regulation skills including therapy, ...
-
(2012-02-02)In the wake of rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and declining ground water table, breeding for drought tolerance in food crops has become a top priority throughout the world. Phenotyping a large population of breeding ...
