Epigenomic regulation of the transcriptome by DNA methylation and posttranscriptional gene silencing miRNAs are potential environmental modulators skeletal muscle plasticity to chronic exercise in healthy diseased populations. We utilized networks connect exercise-induced differential miRNA with functional plasticity. Biopsies vastus lateralis were collected from middle-aged Polynesian men women morbid obesity (44 kg/m 2 ± 10) Type diabetes before following 16 wk resistance ( n = 9) or...
For the first time a microcystin-degrading bacterium (NV-3 isolate) has been isolated and characterized from NZ lake. Cyanobacterial blooms in New Zealand (NZ) waters contain microcystin (MC) hepatotoxins at concentrations which are risk to animal human health. Degradation of MCs by naturally occurring bacteria is an attractive bioremediation option for removing drinking recreational water sources. The NV-3 isolate was identified 16S rRNA sequence analysis found have 100% nucleotide homology...
The Maori and Pacific Islands peoples of New Zealand suffer a greater burden type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) associated comorbidities than their European counterparts. Empirical evidence supports the clinical application aerobic resistance training for effective management potential remission, but few studies have investigated effectiveness these interventions in specific ethnic cohorts. We recently conducted first trial to investigate effect prescribed exercise Polynesian people with T2DM....
Background: To evaluate the differential effect of 2, group-based exercise modalities on quality life (QoL) in indigenous Polynesian peoples with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and visceral obesity. Methods: Participants were randomized to resistance training or aerobic performed 3 times per for 16 weeks. The Short-Form 36 was administered at baseline post intervention assess 8 domains physical mental component scales (PCS MCS) QoL. Results: With exception Mental Health MCS, all scores lower than...
Academic development usually focuses on individuals, with activities bounded by institutional strategy. There is a lack of research exploring the emergence cross-institutional communities practice and their ability to offer opportunities for professional collaboration, particularly underrepresented or marginalised groups. Our study highlights how, after formal program, individuals from different institutions facilitated deeper connections, transcending hierarchical boundaries nurturing sense...
Abstract This paper draws on the collective knowledge-building of nine women from diverse disciplines, roles, cultures, and institutions in Australasian leadership programme. Brought together during Covid-19 through a shared interest purpose concerning current future developments digital education, we offer knowledge insight our perspective as leaders academia, co-designing futures postdigital world. Drawing duoethnographic research design, reflected experiences academic practitioners to...

J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 417-425, 2019-The research aim this study was to determine possible Saliva samples were collected immediately before testing sessions from 114 state squad athletes (77 males, 37 females) participating either Australian football, basketball, hockey, or netball. Participants completed tests aerobic anaerobic capacity,...
In this issue of IJSaP, we are piloting new "Voices from the Field" section with a collection contributions that highlight importance increasing diversity among students-as-partners participants and diversifying practices.Two IJSaP coeditors, Alison Cook-Sather (faculty co-editor) Sarah Slates (student co-editor), assumed leadership for pilot section.We have taken an approach to crafting it borrows some established practices in publishing general partnership spaces particular experiments...
AbstractThe mitogenome of Paranephrops planifrons, was obtained by next generation sequencing. This crayfish has a mitochondrial genome 16,174 base pairs with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal subunit 22 transfer RNAs (tRNA), and non-coding AT-rich region 771 bp. The P. planifrons nucleotide composition is: 33.63% for T, 21.92% C, 34.46% A, 9.98% G 68.09% AT bias. While the gene order this species is consistent aspects highly distinctive parastacid arrangement, it novel involving...
Over the last decade in response to Universities Australia National Best Practice Framework for Indigenous Cultural Competency (2011), Australian Higher Education curricula have become increasingly permeable First Nations ways of knowing being and doing. Online Campus Floras ("Turning campus grounds into botanical learning teaching spaces,"Quinnell, The University Sydney, 2020) can offer valuable resources biology experiential place-based beyond (e.g., ecology, human geography, storytelling)...
Objective: The aim of this investigation was to examine the effect aerobic and resistance training on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Setting: Wellington Hospital New Zealand, Massey University, Campus Zealand. Period: Sep 2008- 2011 Results: There a very large (6.7 ± 1.2) in AER group for BHAD activity whereas PRT (2.7 observed. an increase CS both groups (PRT; p = 0.007, AER; p=0.03) however, more (effect size 1.8 1.3). COX raised as well though 2.3 1.2 meaning change with exercise...
