The Role of High Saturated Fatty Acid Diets on Skeletal Muscle Metabolism and Inflammation
… metabolic adaptive response to 5 days of high SFA feeding, independent of positive energy balance, and diet-induced agonism of pro-inflammatory pathways. A secondary aim was to determine if the metabolic adaptive response in skeletal muscle to a single, high fat meal was altered by 5 days of …

Ripple Effects: The Transformation of SFASU Women's Social clubs to National Sororities
… after Stephen F. Austin Teachers College (SFA) opened in 1923, students began organizing social clubs. By the late 1920s, women formed the Amities and Pine Burrs to develop friendships and a sense of belonging. The Fideles and Sigma Gammas arrived on campus in the late 1940s as more women …

Effects of dietary fat saturation on lipoprotein metabolism in rodents and humans
… acids (tFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFA) have been associated with higher incidence of coronary heart disease. Experimental and observational data suggests that consumption of PHVO containing tFA, like SFA leads to increased total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) but compared …

The effects of Success for All as a whole school reform on the GEPA scores in a particular Abbott District
… was to determine what impact Success For All (SFA) had on the state standardized test scores of a school district that was identified as being low income and having poor test scores. Data from the literacy/language arts portion of the Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment were compared for the …

Building partner armies : US lessons for an era of strategic competition
… insights about security force assistance (SFA), yet they are largely influenced by the post-9/11 era’s dominant security challenges: terrorism and insurgency. This research seeks to take SFA studies in a new direction by examining US programs to build partner armies for external defense. …

Sembrando consciencia : the student/farmworker alliance and the growth of critical consciousness
The Student/Farmworker Alliance (SFA) is a national network of students and youth that is based in Immokalee, Florida, formed to support the work of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (SFA), a migrant farmworker-led human rights organization that seeks an end to the poverty wages and human rights …

CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS AND BIOMARKERS OF TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS
… (CHO) or fats, and in particular saturated fats (SFA) have differential effects on cardiometabolic (CM) risk by examining potential links between these macronutrients and surrogate markers of CM risk. This broad aim was approached by two studies. The first study undertook a secondary analysis of …

Independent and interacting effects of diet and genetic risk on obesity-related comorbidities
… management encourage replacing saturated (SFA) with unsaturated fat (UFA) and increasing fiber intake. Diet alone does not produce metabolic disease, and genetic variation can increase dyslipidemia risk. Nutrigenetics is a body of research investigating dietary and genetic interactions, but …
