LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center wants to dig down to the molecular level to find out why exercise provides health benefits. Associate Executive Director for Clinical Science at Pennington Dr. Eric Ravussin says it will take years to get enough information to begin cracking the code, but it’s crucial they find out…

Governor Edwards met with equal pay advocates hoping to find solutions to reduce the largest gender pay gap in the nation. LSU Director of The Women’s Center, Office of Diversity, Summer Steib was one of the advocates and says many businesses are reluctant to increase pay for women claiming it will hurt their bottom line.

Edwards has supported legislation to close the gender gap in the state since taking office, but the Republican-controlled legislature has opposed the measure.

The deadline to register to vote is fast approaching in Louisiana if you’re looking to get your name on the list of approved voters for the October 12^th election you have until September 21^st to get it done. Officials recommend using the www-dot-Geaux-Vote-dot-com website to complete your registration online, or you can register in person at Parish Registrars of Voters, OMVs, public schools, colleges, and libraries. Early voting begins on September 28^th.

Governor Edwards is still trying to keep his campaign promise to reduce the gender pay gap in the state. So far his efforts have been defeated by pro-business groups and the legislature. Brooke Thorington has more.

Governor Edwards met with equal pay advocates this morning to brainstorm solutions to reduce the largest gender pay gap in the nation. Nationally, women make 79-cents for every dollar earned by a white male in the same job position. In the Bayou State the average is 69-cents to every dollar.

Edwards says the majority of the voters in Louisiana are for equal pay and want the legislature to answer to their constituents by passing legislation for equal pay.

Cut 6 (07) “…in the country”

The discrepancy for pay for among women of color is even worse, it’s 49-cents on the dollar.  Some argue that women take off more time from work due to maternity leave, therefore it justifies the pay gap.

LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center is taking part in a nationwide research project that seeks to dig down to the molecular level to find out why exercise provides health benefits.

Associate Executive Director for Clinical Science at Pennington Dr. Eric Ravussin says they’ll be creating a comprehensive molecular map of what happens when people exercise, and how it impacts health.

Cut 9 (08)  “..Mechanisms.”

Ravussin says it will take years to get enough information to begin cracking the code, but once they do they may be able to tailor exercise regimens to each person’s unique body and genetics.

Cut 10 (10) “…beneficial.”

The doctor adds that it could also help identify those who would not find much benefit in additional exercise.

To pull this off they’ll need 300 adult volunteers who are sedentary but still in good health, and 50 highly active adults who focus on either endurance or resistance training.

Cut 11 (07) “…months.” 

The study will feature 1,980 participants across the US at 11 different sites.
