Prichard KK, Brown BM, Kelly FJ, 1986, Reliability of a Multidimensional Locus of Control Construct for Older Adults Anticipating Transitions in Careers, Psychological Reports, Vol: 59, Pages: 1007-1012, ISSN: 0033-2941

<jats:p> Reid and Ware in 1974 provided data on college-age adults which suggested that Rotter's locus of control paradigm might be better represented as a multidimensional construct. Using a varimax rotation, Reid and Ware reported a three-factor solution was parsimonious and tended to support a multidimensional model. The three factors were labeled Self-control, Social Systems Control, and Fatalism. In light of Super's 1983 view that the first stage of planning a career includes a component of autonomy or locus of control, Reid and Ware's multidimensional scale might prove useful for older adults undergoing transition in their careers. Since Reid and Ware's college undergraduates represented those in early career development, the present study was conducted with older adult individuals contemplating changes in career to determine the efficacy of the three-factor solution. Only two items did not coincide with Reid and Ware's factor structure. Implications for the application of a multidimensional locus of control scale to career-planning were discussed. </jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Four corticosteroid hormones were administered (5 mg/kg/day) to rats over 6 to 10 days. Both biochemical and microscopic techniques were employed to determine the influence of these corticosteroids on the fine structure and growth of five striated muscles. Throughout, dexamethasone and triamcinalone were more potent than prednisone or cortisone in influencing muscle growth. The corticosteroids' action on the heart was anabolic, increasing its RNA and protein content. In contrast, the same corticosteroids were catabolic against fast‐twitch muscles (e.g., extensor digitorum longus), inducing appreciable atrophy. However, slow‐twitch muscles (e.g., soleus) were more resistant to these hormones, exhibiting an intermediate response between that of the heart and fast‐twitch muscles. Only minor morphological changes were found in both fast and slow muscles 10 days after the corticosteroid treatments. The hormones′ atrophic effects on skeletal muscle primarily arose from the corticosteroid's ability to inhibit protein synthesis, via decreases in the muscles′ ribosomal capacities. Whole‐body protein synthesis was also suppressed by these corticosteroids, but to a lesser extent than in the whole skeletal musculature.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Developmental growth and associated changes in protein turnover and nucleic acid concentrations have been studied in four individual skeletal muscles. They have also been related to changes in the whole animal. The growth rates of both fast and slow muscle types progressively diminished from the fetus to old age. Similarly, the fractional rates of protein synthesis (measured in vivo) and breakdown in each muscle type declined with age; the changes in the former correlating with decreases in the ribosomal capacities of the muscles. Throughout, fast muscles possessed lower turnover rates. The mean half‐lives of mixed proteins were 12.0, 14.4, 13.5, and 7.2 days in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), gastrocnemius, diaphragm, and soleus muscles, respectively, 310 days postpartum. Muscle atrophy was found at 735 days, at which stage the decreased protein synthetic rate in the soleus was due to a fall in the ribosomal capacity, while that in the EDL was attributable to a decreased synthetic rate per ribosome.</jats:p>

Goldspink DF, Lewis SEM, Kelly FJ, 1984, Protein synthesis during the developmental growth of the small and large intestine of the rat, Biochemical Journal, Vol: 217, Pages: 527-534, ISSN: 0264-6021

<jats:p>The developmental growth and associated changes in protein synthesis were measured (in vivo) in the combined small and large intestine from 18 days in utero to 105 weeks post partum. Similar post-natal (3-105 weeks) changes were also studied in the separated large and small intestine, and in the mucosal and muscularis externa + serosal layers of the small intestine. Although the protein and nucleic acid contents of the whole intestine increased throughout both pre- and post-natal life, the maximal (11%) intestinal contribution to whole-body growth occurred 3 weeks after birth; this value declined to only 2.5-3.5% at both extremes of the age range studied. Between the 18-day foetus and old age the fractional rate of protein synthesis decreased from 107 to 61% per day. This developmental decline (43%) was, however, much smaller than that found in most other body tissues over the same period. Similar developmental trends (between weaning and senility) were found in both the small and the large intestine when studied separately, the small intestine in all respects contributing proportionately more than the large intestine to both the combined intestinal and whole-body values. At each age the large intestine possessed significantly lower fractional rates of synthesis and associated ribosomal activities. For the most part, the fractional synthesis rates in the mucosa and serosa of the small intestine were very similar, with each declining slightly with increasing age. These developmental changes are discussed with respect to functional aspects within the gastrointestinal tract.</jats:p>

Lewis SE, Kelly FJ, Goldspink DF, 1984, Pre- and post-natal growth and protein turnover in smooth muscle, heart and slow- and fast-twitch skeletal muscles of the rat, Biochem J, Vol: 217, Pages: 517-526, ISSN: 0264-6021

The growth of one smooth and three individual striated muscles was studied from birth to old age (105 weeks), and where possible during the later stages of foetal life also. Developmental changes in protein turnover (measured in vivo) were related to the changing patterns of growth within each muscle, and the body as a whole. Developmental growth (i.e. protein accumulation) in all muscles involved an increasing proportion of protein per unit wet weight, as well as cellular hypertrophy. The contribution of the heart towards whole-body protein and nucleic acid contents progressively decreased from 18 days of gestation to senility. In contrast, post-natal changes in both slow-twitch (soleus) and fast-twitch (tibialis anterior) skeletal muscles remained reasonably constant with respect to whole-body values. Such age-related growth in all four muscle types was accompanied by a progressive decline in both the fractional rates of protein synthesis and breakdown, the changes in synthesis being more pronounced. Age for age, the fractional rates of synthesis were highest in the oesophageal smooth muscle, similar in both cardiac and the slow-twitch muscles, and lowest in the fast-twitch tibialis muscle. Despite these differences, the developmental fall in synthetic rates was remarkably similar in all four muscles, e.g. the rates at 105 weeks were 30-35% of their values at weaning. Such developmental changes in synthesis were largely related to diminishing ribosomal capacities within each muscle. When measured under near-steady-state conditions (i.e. 105 weeks of age), the half-lives of mixed muscle proteins were 5.1, 10.4, 12.1 and 18.3 days for the smooth, cardiac, soleus and tibialis muscles respectively. Old-age atrophy was evident in the senile animals, this being more marked in each of the four muscle types than in the animal as a whole. In each muscle of the senile rats the protein content and composition per unit wet weight, and both the fractional and total rates of sy

Goldspink DF, Kelly FJ, 1984, Protein turnover and growth in the whole body, liver and kidney of the rat from the foetus to senility, Biochem J, Vol: 217, Pages: 507-516, ISSN: 0264-6021

Changes in the growth and protein turnover (measured in vivo) of the rat liver, kidney and whole body were studied between 16 days of life in utero and 105 weeks post partum. Tissue and whole-body growth were related to changes in both cellular hyperplasia (i.e. changes in DNA) and hypertrophy (protein/DNA values) and to the protein composition within the enlarging tissue mass. The suitability of using a single large dose of phenylalanine for measuring the rates of protein synthesis during both pre- and post-natal life was established. The declining growth rates in the whole animal and the two visceral tissues were then explained by developmental changes in the fractional rates of protein synthesis and breakdown, turnover rates being age-for-age higher in the liver than in the kidney, which in turn were higher than those measured in the whole animal. The declining fractional rates of synthesis in both tissues and the whole body with increasing age were related to changes in the tissues' ribosomal capacity and activity. The fall in the hepatic rate between 18 and 20 days of foetal life (from 134 to 98% per day) corresponded to a decrease in both the ribosomal capacity and the rate of synthesis per ribosome. No significant changes in any of these parameters were, however, found in the liver between weaning (3 weeks) and senility (105 weeks). In contrast, the fractional synthetic (and degradative) rates progressively declined in the kidney (from 95 to 24% per day) and whole body (from 70 to 11% per day) throughout both pre- and post-natal life, mainly as a consequence of a progressive decline in the ribosomal capacity, but with some fall in the ribosomal activity also during foetal life. The age-related contributions of these visceral tissues to the total amount of protein synthesized per day by the whole animal were determined. The renal contribution remained fairly constant at 1.6-2.9%, whereas the hepatic contribution declined from 56 to 11%, with increasing age. Ap

Watt PW, Kelly FJ, Goldspink DF, Goldspink Get al., 1982, Exercise-induced morphological and biochemical changes in skeletal muscles of the rat, Journal of Applied Physiology, Vol: 53, Pages: 1144-1151, ISSN: 8750-7587

<jats:p> Morphological and biochemical changes have been studied in two forelimb (i.e., brachialis and extensor carpi radialis) and two hindlimb (i.e., soleus and extensor digitorum longus) muscles of rats subjected to short bursts of high-intensity exercise over 2 wk. Regardless of muscle type, all four muscles grew significantly, accumulating protein, RNA, and DNA at faster rates than in the growing control tissues. Of the intrinsic fiber types within the individual muscles all increased their cross-sectional areas, but the fast-oxidative, glycolytic fibers (type IIa) showed marginally more hypertrophy than the slow-oxidative (I) or fast-glycolytic fibers (IIb). Induced changes in protein turnover were consistent with the additional growth of the exercised muscles. However, the precise alterations in the rates of protein synthesis and protein breakdown varied according to the fiber type composition of the muscle. The increased growth rate of the two principally fast-twitch muscles (i.e., brachialis and extensor digitorum longus) correlated solely with an enhancement of protein synthesis (measured in vivo). In contrast, the hypertrophy of the slow-twitch soleus appeared to relate only to a decrease in protein breakdown (a calculated value). In a more intermediate type of muscle (i.e., extensor carpi radialis) a complementary combination of an increase in synthesis and a decrease in breakdown was found. </jats:p>

<jats:p>The glucocorticoid dexamethasone dramatically altered growth patterns in four muscle types, inducing atrophy of smooth and fast-twitch skeletal muscle, suppressing protein accumulation in slow-twitch muscle and enhancing growth in the heart. These differing responses were explained by steroid-induced changes in RNA content, protein synthesis and protein breakdown.</jats:p>
