Dr. Steven Devor, AdvisorTitle: Validation of VO2max Assessment and Magnetic Resonance Cardiac Function Measurements Utilizing an MRI Compatible Treadmill
Abstract: Maximal oxygen consumption testing and MRI cardiac function measurements represent the gold standard in measurement of cardiorespiratory health. MRI-compatible equipment required to combine these measures are unavailable to date. Specially designed treadmill and modified metabolic measurement equipment were used to validate metabolic testing immediately adjacent to a clinical MRI system. Contact: lafountain.9@osu.edu

Dr. Ouliana Ziouzenkova, AdvisorTitle: Regulation of Thermogenic and Lipogenic Adipogenesis by Branched Chain Amino Acids and Their Oxidized Metabolites
Abstract: Obesity is regulated by white and brown adipose tissues. Branched chain amino acids such as L-valine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine and their oxidized metabolites affect the expression of the major genes that regulate the formation of these tissues. I am studying the effects of these metabolites on the adipocytes. Contact: melgar-bermudez.1@osu.edu

Abstract: This study explores Couple and Family Therapists’ views on a weight and body awareness curriculum and presents the preliminary results of student-therapists’ self-reported weight-bias towards overweight clients. Results are further analyzed for contextual differences in participants reported weight-bias based on gender, age, race, experience level, and self-reported weight status. Contact: palmer.344@osu.edu

Dr. Janet Buckworth, AdvisorTitle: Social Relationships and BMI in Undergraduate Students
Abstract: This study focused on determining the relationship between undergraduate students’ BMI and their own family, friend, roommate, and dating relationships with persons who are obese. It is important to better understand the factors that influence weight discrimination before an intervention targeting this issue can be created.

Dr. Adrian Rodgers, AdvisorTitle: Teachers’ Limitations and Challenges that Impede Their Roles as Agents of Change in the US and Indonesia
Abstract: Teachers have a responsibility to be agents of change in order to make the education system better. However, there are some limitations which affect teachers’ performance in the US and Indonesia in their roles as agents of change. Further, these limitations challenge teachers to be effective and productive agents of change. Contact: permatasari.2@osu.edu

Dr. Steven Devor, AdvisorTitle: Oxygen Consumption and Muscle Fibrosis in the mdx Mouse: Influence of Treadmill Running
Abstract: This study examined the effects of treadmill exercise on disease pathology in the mdx mouse – the mouse model for Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy. Exercised mdx mice have significantly lower baseline oxygen consumption and time-to-exhaustion on a VO2 max test than sedentary mdx mice, indicating poorer oxygen utilization and aerobic capacity.
