Growth response to resistance exercise : influence of exercise device
The purpose of this study was to compare the growth response elicited by an acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) conducted on a traditional weight stack device (WS) and a flywheel device (FW). Eight recreationally trained males (25 ± 9 y, 77 ± 27 kg) performed 4 sets of 7 repetitions of bilateral …

Radial growth response of eastern hemlock to infestation of hemlock woolly adelgid
… to determine if there was a difference in radial growth pre- and post-HWA arrival. To compare differences in pre- and post-HWA cell properties, t-tests were used. For dendroclimatic analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between radial growth and monthly climate variables. …

The role of basic fibroblast growth factor in the compensatory adrenal growth response
We have investigated the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the neurally mediated compensatory adrenal growth response. Unilateral adrenalectomy resulted in a 13%, 6% and 22% increase in adrenal weight, protein and DNA content, respectively, and 33-40% increases in the rate of cell …

EARLY GROWTH RESPONSE 1 (EGR1) AS A TUMOR SUPPRESSOR AND APOPTOSIS INDUCER IN RHABDOMYOSARCOMA
EGR1, one of the immediate-early response genes, plays an important role as a mediator for transmitting extracellular stimuli. EGR1 is down regulated in many cancers. Many studies show that it functions as a tumor suppressor gene in a variety of cancers. EGR1 also acts as an oncogene in number of …

Early Growth Response Protein 2 (EGR2) regulation of B cell differentiation in lupus-prone mice
… reported that the transcription factor Early Growth Response 2 (EGR2), a key regulator of immune cell function, was markedly upregulated in murine and human lupus lymphocytes. Further, we reported that conditional deletion of Egr2-/- in lymphocytes in lupus-prone B6/lpr mice suppressed …

Growth response and drought susceptibility of forest trees exposed to simulated acidic rain and ozone
… Ozone also significantly reduced shoot height growth (SHG) and increased the apparent plastochron duration (APD) of sweetgum seedlings. Treatment with simulated rain at pH 3.0 significantly increased FWT and SHG of red spruce compared to pH 5.6 as well as FWT and relative growth rate (RGR) of …

Measuring Root Growth Response to Nitrogen Fertilization Rates in Young Pecan Seedlings Using the Minirhizotron Method
… of this study are to: 1) determine how fine root growth is impacted by five rates of N fertilizer and 2) pinpoint times in the growing season when fine root production peaks to time fertilizer applications for maximum N absorption. The minirhizotron method was used to observe root growth through …

An assessment of rhizobial infection, metabolite release and growth response in agriculturally important legume and cereal crops
Reports on the natural and laboratory infection of cereals by rhizobium provided the impetus to embark on research using African landraces of sorghum and millet to study their interaction with rhizobia. Seven strains of root-nodule bacteria (namely Rhizobium GHR2, Bradyrhizobium japonicum Tal 110, …

The Interaction of Early Growth Response Gene 1 and Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C in the Murine Brain Cortex
Early growth response gene – 1 (Egr1) encodes a protein widely present in mammalian body, such as connective tissue, cardiac tissue, the liver, and the brain. As a transcription factor (TF), it is involved in processes that take place in the endocrine, digestive, immune, musculo-skeletal and …

Family growth response to fishmeal and plant-based diets shows genotype x diet interaction in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… to efficiently utilize plant-based diets for growth and the genetic variation for that trait have not been thoroughly examined. In this study, growth of a pedigreed population from the commercial Kamloop strain was assessed while feeding plant-based or traditional fishmeal-based diets. Both …

Assessment of Growth Response and Patterns of Biomass Allocation by Panicum hemitomon Schultes: Implications for Thick-mat Floating Marsh Creation and Restoration
… experiments to elucidate Panicum hemitomon growth response as influenced by environmental conditions associated with restoring thick-mat floating marsh. Initially, Panicum hemitomon growth response was assessed in conjunction with manipulated nutrient availability and hydrology. Next, I …

IL-1β Amplification of Nitric Oxide Production and Its Inhibitory Effects on Glucose Induced Early Growth Response-1 Expression in INS-1 Cells
… beta cells is not fully understood. Early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1) expression is specifically and transiently up regulated in pancreatic beta cells in response to glucose. We hypothesized that interleukin-1 beta (IL-1▀) induction of nitric oxide alters glucose induced Egr-1 …

Assessment of fruit growth response to water stress in a super-high-density olive orchard: monitoring, physiological mechanisms and potential use to schedule irrigation.
Olive fruit growth has an important effect on the final yield, and thus, it is important to study its response to water stress, and to know how olive fruits grow under no water restriction. The present PhD. Thesis centered on the fruit growth, and the factors that influence it, such as the root …

Sympathetic Innervation of the Rat Adrenal Cortex and Its Effects on the Compensatory Adrenal Cortical Growth Response to Unilateral Adrenalectomy (Catecholamine, Endocrine, Splanchnic Nerve, Cell Proliferation)
… shown to mediate compensatory adrenal cortical growth, a cell proliferation response which occurs in the remaining adrenal after unilateral adrenalectomy. In unilaterally adrenalectomized, sympathectomized rats the characteristic increase in adrenal weight in the remaining adrenal was attenuated …

Will Nitrogen fixers benefit from rising Atmospheric CO2? The response of Podalyria Sericea to elevated CO2
To predict the response of communities and ecosystems to rising levels of atmospheric CO2, the response of individual plants under natural conditions needs to be determined. Podalyria sericea, a fynbos legume, was grown in a greenhouse under ambient (35 Pa) and elevated (70 Pa) CO2 partial pressure …

Growth Of Bald Cypress Boles And Knees As Influenced By Precipitation And Inundation At Sardis Lake, Mississippi
The growth of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) boles and knees in response to inundation and precipitation over small (< 4 m) elevation gradients was examined by measuring interannual growth increments of boles and knees at five sites at Sardis Lake, Mississippi. There was a significant (p=0.019) …
