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 ...
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 ...
Basis for the hypoactivity that accompanies rapid weight gain in hamsters
(Elsevier, 1983-03)
The pattern of hypoactivity that accompanies rapid weight gain following septal lesions in hamsters was characterized. Lesioned hamsters displayed reduced levels of running, shorter and slower running bouts, and longer ...
Neural correlates of encoding and expression in implicit sequence learning
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-08)
In the domain of motor learning it has been difficult to separate the neural substrate of encoding from that of change in performance. Consequently, it has not been clear whether motor effector areas participate in learning ...
Basis for the exercise-induced hyperphagia in adult hamsters
(Elsevier, 1978-05)
In adult female golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus, Waterhouse) voluntary exercise is associated with increased food intake and accelerated somatic growth. We examined the possible interdependence between increased food ...
Exercise-induced growth in golden hamsters: Effects of age, weight, and activity level
(Elsevier, 1977-01)
The relationship between the exercise-induced growth and the endogenous controls of growth was examined in 356 golden hamsters of which equal numbers were given access to horizontal disc exercisers and maintained sedentary ...
