Physiological Effects of Vibration in Select Populations
<p>Recently, researchers have demonstrated that Whole Body Vibration results in significant increases in skin blood flow. No study has determined if there is an optimal frequency or duration for optimizing this response. In addition, there is no known mechanism for the increase in skin blood flow. …

Physiological effects of heterologous expression of proteorhodopsin photosystems
Proteorhodopsin (PR) phototrophy plays an important role in the marine ecosystem, harvesting energy from sunlight for a diverse community of hetertrophic organisms. The simple proteorhodopsin photosystem (PRPS) composed of six to seven genes is sufficient for producing a functional light-driven …

Children's sport - the physiological effects of a season's participation
… badminton, netball and tennis. (ii) to examine physiological, anthropometric and strength profiles of pre-adolescent children from the above mentioned sporting groups, as well as a control group, (who were not involved in organised sporting activities) over a period of three months corresponding …

Physiological Effects of Estradiol in the Mouse Hippocampal Formation
… The upstream mediators of these estradiol effects remain unknown, but likely candidates may be inferred from known regulators of hippocampal synaptic plasticity and estradiol effects in other tissues. This thesis explored estradiol activation of two of these candidates, PI3 kinase/Akt and …

Physiological effects of BA and ABA on caixin seedlings
… hardly explored. This study aimed to determine physiological effects of BA, ABA, and heat stress on caixin seedlings. BA application maintained juvenility of caixin seedlings, as concentrations of chlorophylls and carotenoids, and photochemical quenching of BA-grown seedlings were higher than …

Physiological effects of diet and exercise in the equine
… effect of dietary fat as an energy source on the physiological parameters associated with fitness using a standard exercise test. Conditioning horses increased apparent digestibilities of crude protein (CP) (P<.05), dry matter(DM), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) (P<.1). Conditioning also tended to …

Physiological effects of feeding high magnesium levels to steers
… Ca and P generally decreased with dietary Mg but effects on P absorption were not always significant. Increasing dietary Mg resulted in a linear elevation of serum and erythrocyte Mg (P<.01) and inorganic P (P<.05) and a linear decrease in serum Ca (P<.01). Plasma osmolality tended to be lowest in …

Copper exposure of freshwater mussels (Anodonta anatina): Some physiological effects
… mussel A. anatina and its various potential physiological impacts. The work is started with raising Cu-loaded algae using the stable isotope 63Cu as marker for feeding of mussels without affecting the nutritional value of the algal food. In these latter experiments, mussels are exposed to …

Physiological effects of exercise in patients with peripheral vascular disease
<p>This work sought to identify physiological effects of aerobic exercise training in patients with lower-limb vascular disease.</p> <p>The main aim of the studies in Section 1 of this thesis was to investigate potential mechanisms by which arm-crank exercise training evokes improved walking …

Sensation Seeking and a Real World Stressor: Endocrine and Physiological Effects
We attempted to identify the psychobiological mechanisms that mediate the process by which the sensation seeking trait culminates in behavior. We used the Sensation Seeking Scales to assess the SS trait in individuals who expressed a desire to skydive. We obtained measures of autonomic (heart rate) …

The Physiological Effects of Therapy Dogs During Exercise for Sedentary Adults
… This study aimed to determine if physiological responses to exercise changed in the presence of a therapy dog for sedentary adults. <strong>Methods:</strong> Seven adult subjects (mean age of 30.86 ± 14.07 years) who self-reported less than 150 min of physical activity per week …

Physiological effects of progressive relaxation in trained runners during submaximal treadmill exercise
To determine the physiological effects of a one-week progressive relaxation protocol on exercise efficiency, five trained, male runners volunteered to participate in this study. The results of this study show that it is possible to reduce heart rate during progressive relaxation at rest, after one …

Some Physiological Effects of Glyphosate on Cocklebur Plants and Cultured Carrot Cells
Cocklebur plants were grown in nutrient culture in a growth chamber and were treated with 15 (mu)g of glyphosate (N-{phosphonomethyl}glycine) at 13 days of age. Methyl-('14)C-glyphosate was applied in one experiment.
