Energy expenditure of cage activity versus wheel running in deer mice
Meeting Abstract 32-2 Saturday, Jan. 4 13:45 – 14:00 Energy expenditure of cage activity versus wheel running in deer mice DOLAN, JE*; MUSIAL, NA; HAMMOND, KA; UC, Riverside; UC, Riverside; UC, Riverside jdola001@ucr.edu In the lab, mice are often kept in cages seemingly without any way to exercise, thus restricting their voluntary energy expenditure. Because of this […]
