The luminance pathway has slow (s), spectrally opponent cone inputs in addition to the expected fast (f), non-opponent inputs. The nature of these inputs to luminance flicker perception was further explored psychophysically by measuring middle- (M-) and long-wavelength-sensitive (L-) cone modulation sensitivities, M- and L-cone phase delays, and flicker spectral sensitivities under three condit...

Cortical activity is thought to reflect the biomechanical properties of movement (e.g., force or velocity of movement), but fatigue and movement familiarity are important factors that require additional consideration in electrophysiological research. The purpose of this within-group quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) investigation was to examine changes in cortical activity amplitude and l...

Introduction Obesity is becoming a global epidemic, increasing the health burden of associated complications of insulin resistance and diseases such as cardiovascular disease (1). Because insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes (T2D) (2), T2D incidence and prevalence are also increasing rapidly. The number of adults with diagnosed diabetes in the United States nearly quadrupled over 32 year...

BACKGROUND To determine the influence of lifting speed and type on peak and cumulative back compressive force (BCF) and shoulder moment (SM) loads during symmetric lifting. Another aim of the study was to compare static and dynamic lifting models. METHODS Ten male participants performed a floor-to-shoulder, floor-to-waist, and waist-to-shoulder lift at three different speeds [slow (0.34 m/s),...

background: regular physical exercise is a well-established therapeutic option to prevent the diabetes mellitus. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of intense interval training (sit (and combined aerobic-strength training on serum adiponectin level and insulin resistance  in women with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: female patients with type 2 diabetic (n=52, age: 45-...

A novel antibiotic was found after performing an interspecific fusion treatment between Streptomyces griseus and S. tenjimariensis by the selection of clones with a unique antibiotic resistance. Nonantibiotic-producing mutants of streptomycin (SM)-producing S. griseus SS-1198 with resistance to SM and istamycin (IS)-producing S. tenjimariensis SS-939 with resistance to kanamycin (KM) were proto...

Objective: Fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) was identified as a candidate gene contributing to obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the effect of resistance training on FTO expression in subcutaneous fat tissue, insulin resistance and glucose in T2DM rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, sixteen obese males wistar rat...
