Activity disc and cage for continuous measurement of running activity and core temperature in hamsters
(Elsevier, 1991-11)
We describe a design for the modular horizontal activity disc and tandem cages suitable for continuous monitoring of spontaneous running and of core tempertaures in golden hamsters. An acrylic disc is equipped with a short ...
Stimulation by voluntary exercise of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion in mature female hamsters
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
The possibility that habitual voluntary running induces a chronic change in adrenal glucocorticoid synthesis and secretion was examined in freely running mature female hamsters, in whom this behavior accelerates growth, ...
Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual object to investigate human efferent control
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We used proportional myoelectric control of a one-dimensional virtual object to investigate differences in efferent control between the proximal and distal muscles of the upper limbs. Eleven subjects placed one of their ...
The effects of age on substrate depletion and hormonal responses during submaximal exercise in hamsters
(Elsevier, 1987)
Senescent hamsters display a marked reduction in volume of voluntary running. The purpose of this study was to determine whether age differences exist in the pattern of fuel utilization during submaximal exercise, which ...
Characteristics of growth-inducing exercise
(Elsevier, 1980-04)
Characteristics of growth-inducing exercise in hamsters were studied by examining (a) dependence of this phenomenon on a specific activity device, (b) its species-specificity, and (c) features of the running pattern which ...
Exercise-induced hyperphagia in the hamster is associated with elevated plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity
(Elsevier, 1987-08-03)
Syrian golden hamsters when allowed free access to food and an exercise wheel will run long distances and develop hyperphagia and accelerated linear body growth with high circulating levels of growth hormone and insulin. ...
Computer technology to evaluate body composition, nutrition, and exercise
(Elsevier, 1983-09)
The use of computer technology has made it possible to make accurate determinations of body composition, nutrition, and exercise. With the FITCOMP computer assessment system, detailed measurements of physique status have ...
Absence of weight regulation in exercising hamsters
(Elsevier, 1974-04)
Spontaneous activity on horizontal discs causes a permanent upward displacement of hamster weight, length, and, under some circumstances, percentage body fat. This phenomenon manifests itself through an immediate increase ...
role of limbic system in the control of hamster growth
(Elsevier, 1979)
Rostral septal lesions accelerate somatic growth in adult hamsters. This study tested the hypothesis that this effect results from damage to fibers of passage by observing the effects of transections of septohippocampal ...
Perceptions Held by Obese Children and their Parents: Implications for Weight Control Intervention
(Sage Publications, 1988)
The study was designed to identify some of the psychosocial barriers to compliance in a hospital-based weight control intervention program for adolescents. Forty obese adolescents, 10 to 16 years of age, and their parents ...
