Behavioral manipulations such as housing in an enriched environment have been shown to increase brain weight and visual cortical thickness. The present study was designed to test whether skill learning or repetitive movements can alter the thickness of the motor cortex. One group of 6-mo-old Long-Evans female rats learned motor skills on an obstacle course that increased in difficulty over trai...

Interventions to alleviate thermal discomfort, a common complaint in amputees, are typically chosen based on residual limb skin temperature while wearing prosthesis; however, outside of the prosthesis has received less attention. The purpose this study was investigate localized and regional over transtibial (TRL) when removed. present documents variations traumatic below knee amputee with Pe-Li...

The purpose of this study was to simultaneously isolate skeletal muscle plasma and microsomal membranes from the hind limbs of male Sprague-Dawley rats perfused either in the absence or presence of 20 milliunits/ml insulin and to determine the effect of insulin on the number and distribution of glucose transporters in these membrane fractions. Insulin increased hind limb glucose uptake greater ...
