Skeletal muscle contains a number of endogenous antioxidants that aid in protecting the muscle from oxidative damage. Antioxidant systems are comprised of water and lipid soluble compounds. The histidine containing dipeptides, anserine and carnosine, and α-tocopherol represent w…
The focus of the dissertation is on myonuclear accretion of the early post-hatch poult because an increase in myofiber size is limited to the number of myonuclei present and the ability of the myofiber to acquire new nuclei is not consistent from hatch to market. The objective o…
The objective of this study was to determine if selection for increased breast muscle mass has affected the supracoracoideus muscle's ability to regulate pH during physical activity in turkeys. The lightweight male line (LM) had the greatest breast muscle mass as a percent of bo…
Nearly every movement we make reflects a decision. This decision likely involves a trade-off between maximizing reward and minimizing effort. How fast we move, vigor, can reveal how we value reward and effort when making movement decisions. The goal of this dissertation is to ga…
