The purpose of this research is to propose a potential solution to the continuous problem of environmental degradation. One of the primary concerns about environmental salvation centers around the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, a delicate balance that is dictated by the public, in favor of the economy. This balance often does not allow for the advancement of one without the hindrance of the other. Ideally, this research would identify and suggest a feasible...
Show moreThe purpose of this research is to propose a potential solution to the continuous problem of environmental degradation. One of the primary concerns about environmental salvation centers around the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, a delicate balance that is dictated by the public, in favor of the economy. This balance often does not allow for the advancement of one without the hindrance of the other. Ideally, this research would identify and suggest a feasible compromise that would be acceptable to environmentalists and economic businesses alike that particularly emphasizes the relationship between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and explores how simultaneous development of both fields would be possible in order to satisfy each opposing side. This solution would see the Department of Interior take charge in a leasing plan that would give additional access to oil while also requiring renewable energy growth, addressing both environmental degradation and economics together.

Abstract/Description
-
The secular issue of obesity has been linked to increased inflammatory mediators, such as calprotectin (S100A8/A9). This study examined the effect of acute aerobic exercise on plasma calprotectin response in obese and normal-weight subjects and its relationship with inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). All subjects (11 obese and 10 normal-weight) performed 30 minutes of treadmill exercise at 75% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Blood samples were collected prior to, immediately following...
Show moreThe secular issue of obesity has been linked to increased inflammatory mediators, such as calprotectin (S100A8/A9). This study examined the effect of acute aerobic exercise on plasma calprotectin response in obese and normal-weight subjects and its relationship with inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). All subjects (11 obese and 10 normal-weight) performed 30 minutes of treadmill exercise at 75% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Blood samples were collected prior to, immediately following exercise, and one hour after exercise. Our results showed higher baseline levels of calprotectin in obese subjects than normal-weight subjects. While acute aerobic exercise increased an elevation in calprotectin and IL-6, no difference was found between two groups. Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between calprotectin area-under-the curve “with respect to increase” (AUCi) and IL-6 AUCi, even after controlling for cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max). Our results support previous finding that IL-6 may potentially regulate calprotectin expression in skeletal muscle during exercise.
