This study investigated the effect of non-periodized training performed at 80, 100 and 120% of the anaerobic threshold intensity (AnT) and a linear periodized training model adapted for swimming rats on the gene expression of monocarboxylate transporters 1 and 4 (MCT1 and 4, in soleus and gastrocnemius muscles), Heater Case Gasket protein contents,
Promoting student interest in plant biology through an inquiry-based module exploring plant circadian rhythm, gene expression, and defense against insects
ABSTRACTWe present a weeklong curricular module for high school biology students that promotes knowledge of phytohormones, the circadian clock, and the Central Dogma.The module, which relies on easily accessible items and requires minimal space, integrates a hands-on experiment that guides students through replicating research examining circadian e
Surface Analysis of Coal Indicating Neutral Red Enhances the Precursor Steps of Methanogenesis
Artificially stimulated, high-yield microbial production of methane from coal is a challenging problem that continues to generate research interest.Decomposition of organic matter and production of methane from coal are the results of multiple redox reactions carried out by different communities of bacteria and archaea.Recent work by our group (Bec
Neuron to Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cell Synapses: Protagonists in Oligodendrocyte Development and Myelination, and Targets for Therapeutics
The development of neuronal circuitry required for cognition, complex motor behaviors, and sensory integration requires myelination.The role of glial cells such as astrocytes and microglia in shaping synapses and circuits have been covered in other reviews in this journal and elsewhere.This review summarizes the role of another glial cell type, oli
