AboutHAPSAbout HAPSThe Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) was founded in 1989, after three successfulnational conferences promoting communication among teachers of human anatomy andphysiology at the college level. HAPS is an organization of Human Anatomy & Physiologyinstructors who strive for excellence in undergraduate instruction in Anatomy & Physiology.Increased growth of the Society necessitated securing an Executive Director and anorganizational management firm to assist in the day-to-day administration of HAPS. However,HAPS remains primarily a volunteer organization.The Board of Directors makes the final policy decisions that steer the organization, but most ofthe work of HAPS is accomplished by the committees. All of these people (including theConference Planning Committee) are unpaid volunteers. A variety of HAPS committees will holdmeetings over the lunch hour on the first day of workshops (Tuesday, May 29). A complete listof committees and their lunch-time meeting locations will be included in your registrationpacket. We encourage you to attend the meeting of any committee that interests you so youmay discover first-hand how HAPS works and how you can get involved.Board of DirectorsPresident: Don KellyPast-President: Caryl TicknerPresident-Elect: Dee SilverthornSecretary: Lucia TranelTreasurer: Elizabeth BeckerCentral Regional Director: Pat BowneEastern Regional Director: Amy WaySouthern Regional Director: Jason LaPresWestern Regional Director: Anne GellerExecutive Director: Laurence SpraggsBusiness Manager: Shanan MolnarMembership Coordinator: Robin HurstA current list of Board members and their contact information can be found SA 2012!

Update Seminar I: Sunday, May 27th, 9:00-10:15 AMYou’re Only as Old as Your Arteries: the TranslationalPhysiology of Vascular AgingSponsored by the American Physiology SocietyDouglas R. Seals, Ph.D.College Professor of DistinctionDepartment of Integrative PhysiologyUniversity of ColoradoBoulder COCardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortalityin middle-aged and older adults. Approximately 80% of all CVD involve disorders ofarteries. Two changes to arteries that contribute to increased CVD with aging are thedevelopment of: 1) vascular endothelial dysfunction (most commonly demonstrated byimpaired vascular endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD)), and 2) large elastic arterystiffening. These changes are observed in older adults without clinical disease or majorrisk factors for disease, as well as in animal models resistant to the development of CVD,suggesting a direct effect of aging processes. Several biological and lifestyle factorsinfluence the function of arteries with aging in adult humans including habitual aerobicexercise, body fatness and its distribution, circulating concentrations of low-densitylipoprotein cholesterol, and dietary sodium intake. The physiological mechanisms mediating age-associated impairments inarterial function remain under investigation, but include the development of vascular oxidative stress and inflammation. Theefficacy of several lifestyle, pharmacological and nutraceutical strategies for the promotion of healthy (“successful”) vascularaging are under investigation. This presentation will provide an overview of “arterial aging” in adult humans, the mechanismsinvolved and the status of preventive and therapeutic treatments in this emerging, clinically important area of integrativephysiology.Professor Seals is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. He received undergraduate degrees in Education and Business from WilliamJewell College in Liberty, Missouri and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in AppliedPhysiology. His postdoctoral training in aging and applied human physiology was with John Holloszy at Washington UniversitySchool of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Seals subsequently held faculty appointments at the University of Iowa and University ofArizona. Presently he is a College Professor of Distinction in Integrative Physiology and a Professor of Medicine (Divisions ofCardiology and Geriatric Medicine) at the University of Colorado.Dr. Seals’ research laboratory provides scientific training at the undergraduate, M.S., Ph.D. and postdoctoral levels. Hisresearch primarily is supported by a R37 (MERIT) award and RO1 research grants from NIH, as well as an institutional traininggrant (T32) funded by NIH on which he serves as co-PI. Dr. Seals was an Associate Editor for the American PhysiologicalSociety’s Journal of Applied Physiology from 1999-2008. He presently is a regular member of the NIH Aging and SystemsGeriatrics Study Section. Dr. Seals founded the University of Colorado at Boulder General Clinical Research Center andserved as its Director from 2000-2004. He established the Responsible Conduct of Research program for the University ofColorado at Boulder campus and served as its director in 2011. Professor Seals developed and has taught a graduate courseentitled Professional Skills for the Research Scientist at the University of Colorado-Boulder campus since 1999.In 2003 Professor Seals received the Citation Award from the American College of Sports Medicine for career achievement inoriginal research, scientific mentoring, and service related to his contributions in cardiovascular exercise physiology and aging.In 2004 he received a MERIT Award from NIA to support his research focusing on habitual exercise and vascular dysfunctionin older adults. In 2005, Professor Seals received the Herbert H. deVries Award for Distinguished Research in the Field ofAging. In 2006, Dr. Seals received the University of Colorado at Boulder Faculty Assembly Award for Research, Scholarly andCreative Work. In 2008, Dr. Seals was named Professor of Distinction in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University ofColorado.Page22TULSA 2012!
