The laboratory mouse is a facultative daily heterotherm in that it experiences bouts of torpor under caloric restriction. Mice are the most frequently studied mammal, and often, genetically modified mice used to investigate many physiological functions related weight loss intake. As such, research documenting cardiovascular changes during fasting-induced warranted. In current study, C57BL/6 were implanted either with EKG/temperature telemeters or blood pressure telemeters. Upon fasting...
Approximately 41% of adults aged 18-24 years in the United States are enrolled a college or university (1). Wearing face mask can reduce transmission SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (2), and many colleges universities mandate use public locations outdoors when within six feet others. Studies based on self-report have described ranging from 69.1% to 86.1% among 18-29 (3); however, more objective measures needed. Direct observation by trained observers is...
Torpor, a state characterized by well-orchestrated reduction of metabolic rate and body temperature (T(b)), is employed for energetic savings organisms throughout the animal kingdom. The nucleotide AMP has recently been purported to be primary regulator torpor in mice, as circulating elevated fasted state, administration causes severe hypothermia. However, we have found that characteristics parameters hypothermia induced were dissimilar those fasting-induced bouts mice. Although (minimum...
Torpor, a controlled rapid drop in metabolic rate and body temperature ( T b ), is hypometabolic adaptation to stressful environmental conditions, which occurs many small mammals, marsupials, birds. To date, signaling pathways required for torpor have not been identified. We examined the role of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) mediating fasting by telemetrically monitoring dopamine β-hydroxylase knock-out Dbh – / –) mice, lack ability produce SNS transmitters, norepinephrine (NE),...

The association of psychosocial factors (psychological distress, coping skills, family support, trauma exposure, and spirituality) with initial weight loss among American Indians Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in a diabetes prevention translational project was investigated. Participants (n = 3,135) were confirmed as prediabetic subsequently enrolled the Special Diabetes Program for Prevention (SDPI-DP) demonstration implemented at 36 Indian health care programs. Measures obtained baseline after...
Objective: The objective of this study was to test the effect an online education intervention on providers’ attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, and practices pertaining antenatal physical activity. Study design: A sample 181 providers (ie, obstetricians, family medicine physicians, certified nurse-midwives) directed view training activity guidelines, counseling methods, resources. Providers completed surveys before 12 weeks after viewing educational website material. Repeated-measures analyses...
Community-level data are necessary to inform community health assessments and plan for appropriate interventions. However, derived from public surveys may be limited or unavailable in rural locations.We compared 2 sources of assessment Colorado, electronic records (EHRs) routine surveys.Comparison cross-sectional measures childhood/youth obesity prevalence quality.Two Colorado counties, La Plata Prowers.The EHR cohort comprised patients 19 years age who underwent a visit with the largest...
(1) Background: Colorado’s (CO) Environmental Justice mapping tool, CO EnviroScreen, quantifies environmental injustices through “EnviroScreen Scores”, highlighting areas likely affected by health disparities. Identifying the specific scores most strongly associated with mortality could help prioritize interventions and allocate resources to address these issues. This study contributes sustainable development goals examining relationship between justice indicators population outcomes. By...
Context: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic occurred during a time of political tension in the United States. County-level environment may have been influential COVID-19 outcomes.

0298 It has been suggested that endurance training at intensities approximating maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) may heighten exercise adaptations while minimizing the risk of overtraining related injuries. Measuring MLSS in laboratory is labor intensive, as equipment, technicians, and a substantial time investment are all required for invasive physiological testing. Conversely, athletic trial events often completed sports relatively simple. If rowers were able to predict workload from...
