Bovard, Joshua Maschio. "Does competitive swimming during puberty affect lung development in pubertal females?" Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/62896.

Full text

Abstract:

Whether the large lungs of competitive swimmers result from intensive swim training or genetic endowment has been widely debated. Given that peak growth velocities for the lungs occur during puberty, this longitudinal study aimed to determine if competitive swimming during puberty affected lung development. Female swimmers (n=11) and healthy controls (n=10) aged 11-14 years old were assessed before and after one competitive swimming season. Pulmonary function testing included lung volumes, spirometry, diffusion capacity (DL,CO), and maximal inspiratory (PIMAX) and expiratory (PEMAX) pressures.

Abstract:

Manganese (Mn) is considered important for normal growth and reproduction. Because Mn can cross the blood brain barrier and accumulate in the hypothalamus, and because it has been suggested that infants and children are potentially more sensitive to Mn than adults, we wanted to determine the effects of Mn exposure on puberty-related hormones and the onset of puberty, and discern the site and mechanism of Mn action. We demonstrated that the central administration of manganese chloride (MnCl2) stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) release in prepubertal rats. Incubation of medial basal hypothalamu

Abstract:

Puberty involves profound anthropometric and hormonal changes that have been associated with changes in mood, behaviour and other health risks that emerge in adolescence. However, there is little longitudinal research in the effects of puberty on adolescents. The overarching aim of this thesis was to demonstrate novel ways of studying puberty and how these improve our understanding of the longitudinal changes that occur over this period. Oestradiol is popularly associated with changes in mood and depression and testosterone with aggression and risk taking. Chapters 3 and 4 reviewed the effects

Abstract:

Angus-sired heifers were allotted by age (mean=4 mo), BW (mean=135 kg), and sire (n=4) to either a control (n=10) or infected group (n=11; 600 metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica, intraruminally) to test our hypothesis that puberty is delayed by experimental fascioliasis. Blood samples were collected biweekly for analysis of steroid hormone concentrations. At 2-wk intervals, BW was recorded, and samples were collected for analysis of liver enzymes and serum proteins and fecal egg counts. A radiotelemetry system (HeatWatch??) was used to detect estrus and ovulation was confirmed by an elevation

The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a neuroendocrine pathway involved in the stress response is well studied in both human beings and rodents.

Evidence suggests the HPA axis undergoes significant changes over the pubertal period. This project investigated the effects of gonadal steroids on the HPA axis before and after puberty and the ro

Abstract:

Basic facial emotion recognition is suggested to be negatively affected by puberty onset reflected in a “pubertal dip” in performance compared to pre- or post-puberty. However, findings remain inconclusive. Further, research points to an own-age bias, i.e., a superior emotion recognition for peer faces. We explored adolescents’ ability to recognize specific emotions. Ninety-five children and adolescents, aged 8–17 years, judged whether the emotions displayed by adolescent or adult faces were angry, sad, neutral, or happy.

Abstract:

Puberty is a critical period of development characterized by rapid physiological changes and significant brain reorganizing and remodeling. These rapid changes render the developing brain particularly vulnerable to stress and immune challenge. In mice, exposure to an immune challenge (lipopolysaccharide; LPS) during puberty causes enduring effects on stress reactivity, cognitive functioning, and depression- and anxiety-like behaviors later in life. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are unknown. The gut microbiome can profoundly influence the immune system. There is also close bi

Kisspeptin signaling has been fully established in the control of the onset of puberty in vertebrates, from fish to mammals.

Photoperiod manipulation is routinely used in the aquaculture industry with the aim to enhance growth by manipulating the timing of reproduction in several commercially important temperate fish species. However, there are clear gaps in our understanding of how photoperiod is perceived by the circadian axis and transmitted to the brain to alter reproduction. Furthermore, due to the wide range of environments inhabited by fish, it is unlikely that one single organization exists.
