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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Strength gains in obese females are unaffected by moderate dietary restriction
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-12)
This study examined the effects of dietary restriction on strength gains from whole body resistance training. Comparisons were made between diet-restricted ( n =12) and non-diet-restricted ( n =10) obese women (mean±SD, ...
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 ...
Selected biochemical parameters of two sizes of rat skeletal and heart muscle mitochondria at selected intervals of a 16-week endurance training program
(Springer-Verlag, 1981-04)
Increases in oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle which has undergone training is well documented. The concomitant shifts in mitochondrial size and cytochrome content have varied with different investigations. In this ...
