INVESTIGATING THE FUNCTIONAL ROLES OF CRF-BINDING PROTEIN HOMOLOGUE IN THE RESPONSE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESSES IN DROSOPHILA
… hormone, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), coordinates these stress responses to a variety of different stresses. CRF has three binding partners, including two receptors and a binding protein, and it is the receptors that initiate signaling pathways ultimately responsible for …

Effects of nicotine on content of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) in rat amygdala, hypothalamus and brain stem
… levels of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) were examined in 104 rats. CRF, a 41-amino acid peptide involved in responses to stress, fear and anxiety, influences the same neurotransmitter systems as nicotine, a psychoactive component of tobacco. Radioimmunoassays revealed that in …

Studies on the mode of CRF action in the optic tectum of the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis
… The neuropeptide corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) modulates discrete aspects of prey capture and predator avoidance, but the mechanisms underlying this modulation are unknown. This dissertation consists of my research exploring two potential pathways that can communicate with CRF signaling …

Thrombocytopoietic Activity of Blood Plasma in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) //// Плазмена тромбоцитопоетинова активност при болни с ХБН
Цел на дисертационния труд е изследване на плазмената тромбоцито-поетипова активност (ТПА) при болни с хронична бъбречна недостатъчност (ХБН). ТПА е изследвана по два метода - чрез определяне включването на 75 Se-M в новообразуваните тромбоцити и чрез определяне на общия брой на тромбоцитите на …

Cardiorespiratory Fitness as a Clinically Relevant Risk Factor
… in support of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as a clinically relevant tool to manage lifestyle-based disease. The objective of Study 1 was to determine whether there is a difference in all-cause mortality risk between CRF achieved through physical activity (PA) (active; CRF-A) compared to …

Racial Differences in Cardiorespiratory Fitness between Blacks and Whites: A Meta-Analysis
PURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. Some researchers have speculated that Blacks have lower levels of CRF when compared to Whites, which may contribute to the health disparities in CVD. However, …

The Association Between Step Intensity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Adults
Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality risk. Physical activity is an established, modifiable determinant of CRF, and findings suggest that daily steps are positively associated with CRF. Whether step intensity is associated with CRF has …

‘Fit for surgery’; retrospective analysis of the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and postoperative outcome
… suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) may be an independent predictor of postoperative outcome. However, this relationship requires further understanding and optimisation to better inform patient care.<br/><br/>Aims: The overarching objective was to explore the ‘potential’ …

The Association of Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Muscular Strength With Mental Health Outcomes
… muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with depressive symptoms in men, 2) to examine prospectively the joint associations and relative independent effects of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and CRF with depressive symptoms in women and men, and 3) to determine whether CRF is …

Physiological and metabolic characterization of older adults. Especial focus on cardiorespiratory fitness and its role on cognitive function
… the role of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as a powerful health marker in different population groups. Scientific literature has clearly shown an inverse association of CRF with the incidence of many chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Therefore, to better know the factors that …

Rapid designs for cache coherence protocol engines in Bluespec
… Shen and Arvind's Commit-Reconcile and Fences (CRF) memory model [1]. The CRF allows scalable implementations of shared memory systems by decomposing memory access operations into simpler instructions. However, the focus for Shen's Cachet protocol for the CRF was adaptivity and correctness, it …

Physical Activity and Fitness in Children with Developmental Disorder
… components such as cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Purpose: To better understand the physical activity and fitness characteristics of children with probable DCD (pDCD), with a particular focus on CRF. Specifically: (1) to present a synopsis of current literature; (2) to determine the …

Stress-induced relapse to cocaine seeking in the rat : contributions of central nervous system corticotropin-releasing factor and noradrenaline
… systems, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and noradrenaline (NE), in stress- and cocaine-induced relapse to cocaine seeking, using an animal model of relapse. Rats were allowed to self-administer cocaine (0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg/infusion, i.v.) for 3 hours daily for 10-14 days and were then …

Physical fitness and cardiovascular function in multiple sclerosis
… progression. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and, to a lesser extent, muscular fitness (MF) have been shown to improve CV function in healthy populations. This thesis examined the relationships between CRF, MF, and exercise presented by randomized controlled trials via meta-analysis. …

The Impact of Cardiorespiratory Fitness on Cytotoxic T Cell Function and Metabolism
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a key indicator of the health and function of several bodily systems, but it is unknown how CRF impacts the function of specific immune cells such as cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (Tc). Tc utilize cytokines, such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), to orchestrate cell mediated …

Cardiorespiratory fitness as a modulator of hippocampal subfield structure and function in cognitive aging
… that greater cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with greater volume of the hippocampus, mitigated age-related decline in spatial mnemonic discrimination, and better visuospatial memory. Nonetheless, how CRF modulates the underlying structural and functional neural correlates of …
