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 ...
Validity of anthropometric regression equations for predicting changes in body fat of obese females
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1989)
The validity of ten popular anthropometric percent fat prediction equations for estimating changes in percentage of body fat for obese females was studied. Thirty-one obese females (mean ± SEM, %fat = 36.7 ± 1.1%, body ...
Neural regulation of rhythmic arm and leg movement is conserved across human locomotor tasks
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-07-01)
Exercise-induced reversal of age-related declines of oxidative reactions, mitochondrial yield, and flavins in skeletal muscle of the rat
(Elsevier, 1984-03)
The ability of gastrocnemius muscle homogenates to catalyze the oxidation of succinate, glutamate + malate, pyruvate + malate, palmitoyl-coenzyme A, decanoylcarnitine and palmitoylcarnitine in the presence of ADP decreased ...
Validity of a new portable indirect calorimeter: the AeroSport TEEM 100
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-09)
The purpose of this study was to compare oxygen uptake ( ) values collected with a new portable indirect calorimeter (AeroSport TEEM 100 Metabolic Analysis System) against a more traditional large calorimeter system that ...
Kinetics of oxygen uptake and recovery for supramaximal work of short duration
(Springer-Verlag, 1973-09)
In order to follow the time pattern of oxygen uptake and recovery for supramaximal work of short duration, 35 male subjects (mean age 21.4 years, mean body weight 71.9 kg) pedalled a bicycle ergometer at maximal speed for ...
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 ...
Tissue coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) and protein concentrations over the life span of the laboratory rat
(Elsevier, 1985-11)
The coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) concentrations of a number of tissues have been determined over the life span of the male laboratory rat. Coenzyme Q increased between 2 and 18 months and decreased significantly at 25 months ...
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 ...
