Human obesity and its influence on muscle protein synthesis
No full textImproving skeletal muscle health is an important component of obesity treatment. Apart from locomotion, skeletal muscle tissue is fundamental for the regulation of macronutrient metabolism during the postprandial period, which is precisely where metabolic derangements are most often observed. In order for the skeletal muscle to adapt and retain its capacity for high throughput of macronutrients, damaged proteins must be degraded and replaced on a continual basis. Moreover, amino acids from meals are crucial for the muscle to replace those lost for other needs (e.g. gluconeogenesis and oxidation). Skeletal muscle appears to be more responsive to amino acid replacement in normal-weight than the muscle of obese individuals. However, no studies have assessed the impact of obesity on the muscle protein synthetic response to the fundamental anabolic stimuli (muscle contraction, protein ingestion) to human skeletal muscle tissue. Previous studies of obesity and muscle protein metabolism have employed intravenous amino acid infusions, which do not accurately reflect meal conditions. Therefore, this thesis details investigations that assessed muscle protein synthetic responses in both the myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein pools under a typical meal setting where a protein-dense food is consumed orally either at rest or after exercise. In study 1, we showed that the postprandial myofibrillar protein synthetic response to protein-dense food ingestion is blunted in overweight and obese compared with normal-weight adults. This finding was related to altered mTORC1 signaling in those groups. In study 2, we demonstrated that basal and postprandial mitochondrial protein synthesis rates are similar in young adults across a wide range of body mass indices. We also showed that muscle inflammatory protein content (e.g. TLR4 and MyD88) increases in response to protein-dense food ingestion in obese, but not normal-weight and overweight young adults. In study 3, we demonstrated that the resistance exercise-induced potentiation of postprandial myofibrillar protein synthesis rates is diminished in obesity young compared with normal-weight adults. However, resistance exercise blunts the obesity-related increase in TLR protein after protein-dense food ingestion. The studies contained in this dissertation show an anabolic resistance to protein-dense food ingestion in obese adults that appears to be limited to the myofibrillar protein sub-fraction of skeletal muscle. Our findings suggest that contractile protein remodeling is a primary impairment in muscles of people with obesity and that exercise strategies to overcome this anabolic resistance are needed.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Joseph Beals, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-16 at 16:25.The student, Joseph Beals, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-16 at 16:33.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-17 at 11:07.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12286 on 2018-08-31 at 17:29:19Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:17Z (GMT).

The Role of Perceived Social Support, Touch, and Efficacy Beliefs in Team Shared Mental Models
No full textThe collective understanding and expectations of a team, known in the literature as Shared Mental Models (SMMs), is reinforced through a strong emotional and supportive environment. The purpose of this study is to observe instances of supportive touch and to measure the association between touch, perceived social support, and efficacy. This study observed videos of athletes during competitive events for instances of touch that are not related to the stratagem of the sport. The results illustrate positive correlation between early season touch and early season performance. Touch frequency in the early portion of the season is positively associated with early season performance in volleyball. Simple linear regression analysis revealed how early season touch predicts early season volleyball performance. This finding is a conceptual replication of a study conducted on the National Basketball Association in 2010. The limitations, including small sample size and poor video quality are discussed. Furthermore, the role of support,touch, and efficacy in team shared models are described. Future directions include expanding the touch code methodology to test other areas outside of sport and testinglarger sample sizes for greater generalizability
Play for Two Voices: On Translating the Poetry of Anja Utler
No full textWritten in the form of a dialog between translator and translation theorist, this article considers both the difficulty and the necessity of a reciprocal, mutually informed relationship between translation theory and practice. The starting point of the article is my experience translating the poetry of Anja Utler, a contemporary Austrian poet whose linguistic experimentation poses a significant translation challenge. Utler's poetry functions in part by means of what she calls “interweaving” (“Verflechtung”), making use of highly polysemous words to efface boundaries between landscape, body, and language. In addition to blurring semantic lines, Utler also employs certain syntactical and grammatical characteristics of the German language (such as separable prefixes) in unorthodox ways that multiply possibilities of meaning. One of the greatest difficulties for a translator, then, is to find ways of approximating this semantic and syntactic play and innovation in a language that rarely offers a one-to-one equivalent. In addition to addressing specific practical issues in translating Utler's poetry, I consider the role that translation theory played in shaping my translation strategies, and more generally the interaction between the theoretical conceptualization of translation and its actual execution. I also describe my communication with the author, who has contributed greatly to the translation process, supporting an idea of translation as collaboration. Translation theory and practice appear less as correctives to each other than as a cooperative undertaking, part of a conversation between translator, theorist, author, and reader from which, ideally, all sides benefit in the end. By portraying this exchange as an internal dialog, I hope to demonstrate that the realms of translation practice and theory are not alien to one another, but rather engaged in constant, productive exchange, both within the mind of the individual translator/theorist and on the level of translation as a social phenomenon.</jats:p
