Haddad, Fadia, and Gregory R. Adams. Selected Contribution: Acute cellular and molecular responses to resistance exercise. J Appl Physiol 93: 394–403, 2002. First published February 8, 2002; 10.1152/japplphysiol.01153.2001.—Training protocols apply sequential bouts of resistance exercise (RE) to induce the cellular and molecular responses necessary to produce compensatory hypertrophy.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to estimate rates of chlamydia incidence and re-infection and to investigate the dynamics of chlamydia organism load in prevalent, incident and re-infections among young Australian women. METHODS 1,116 women aged 16 to 25 years were recruited from primary care clinics in Australia. Vaginal swabs were collected at 3 to 6 month intervals for chlamydia testing. Chlamy...

Training protocols apply sequential bouts of resistance exercise (RE) to induce the cellular and molecular responses necessary to produce compensatory hypertrophy. This study was designed to 1) define the time course of selected cellular and molecular responses to a single bout of RE and 2) examine the effects of interbout rest intervals on the summation of these responses. Rat muscles were exp...

Tissues obtained post-mortem from cattle persistently infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) were analyzed to characterize the tissue-specific localization of FMDV and partial transcriptome profiles for selected immunoregulatory cytokines. Analysis of 28 distinct anatomic sites from 21 steers infected with FMDV serotype A, O or SAT2, had the highest prevalence of overall viral detect...

BACKGROUND Desmocollin 3 (DSC3), a member of the cadherin gene superfamily, is associated with pathogenesis of some cancers, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely unknown. METHODS DSC3 gene expression level in available PCa microarray dataset was examined using the Oncomine database. DSC3 transcript expression in prostate cell line panel and an independent tissue cohort (n = 5...

Clinical disease associated with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection in naïve pigs is well chronicled; however, information on endemic PEDV infection is limited. To characterize chronic PEDV infection, the duration of infectious virus shedding and development of protective immunity was determined. On Day 0 (D0), a growing pig was challenged with PEDV and 13 contacts were commingled...

A difficulty that is encountered when attempting to insert a PCR-amplified product or DNA fragment of interest into a particular vector is the presence within the insert of one or more internal restriction endonuclease (RE) sites identical to those selected for the flanks of the insert. Our method circumvents this problem by partially protecting internal RE sites while flanking sites for the sa...

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are difficult to diagnose and may resemble benign inflammatory dermatoses (BID). Hence, diagnosis requires consideration of clinical, histopathologic, molecular studies. Though, widely used studies rely on the T cell receptor g (TCRg) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detect a clone, it is reportedly positive in ∼50% early CTCL cases. High throughput TCR sequenci...
