Treadmill - Interchangeable Lane Assembly for Mice and Rats

Product Code:47300/47350

Measures endurance, distance and speed. For studying behavioral, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses to both acute exercise stress and chronic exercise training.

Original product by Ugo Basile is adaptable for use by rats or mice. Easy set up and control using touch screen. Automatic measurement of endurance, distance and speed. Shock grid for aversive stimulus (if required) is included on all models.

Adjustable inclination and speed. Selectable acceleration modes.

Background

  • “Exercise is a multifactorial activity that affects virtually every organ and tissue in the body. Not only does exercise contribute many health benefits, but lack of exercise is implicated in many chronic health problems. As evidence continues to accumulate concerning the impressive range of health benefits that exercise confers, biomedical researchers have increasingly become interested in conducting systematic studies of exercise to further define those benefits” (from Resource Book for the Design of Animal Exercise Protocols, APS, Feb 2006).

Product Features

  • Adaptable for use with rats or mice with simple replacement of the lane assembly. Combination Rat/Mouse package available or easy upgrade to dual use at a later stage.
  • Incorporates a shock grid at the back of the treadmill to deliver an adjustable mild electric shock, when an aversive stimulus is required. Shock can be pre-set from 0 to 2mA (in 0.1mA steps), with a frequency of 1, 2 or 3 Hz.
  • Test settings & monitoring are managed on the 4” touch-screen in the attached control unit.
  • The running-lane assembly can be manually tilted from -25° to +25°, in steps of 5°.
  • Endurance, distance (absolute and relative) and speed are automatically measured and recorded.
  • Speed can be selected from 3 to 100m/min, in steps of 1m/min, in constant, accelerating or custom ramp modes.
  • A special lane-assembly for tethered mice is also available as an alternative to the standard model.
  • X-PAD software to set up the experiment and manage the results is included.

“Exercise is a multifactorial activity that affects virtually every organ and tissue in the body. Not only does exercise contribute many health benefits, but lack of exercise is im-plicated in many chronic health problems.
As evidence continues to accumulate concerning the impressive range of health benefits that exercise confers, biomedical researchers have increasingly become interested in conducting systematic studies of exercise to further define those benefits”.
Fatigue is a common and frequently poorly-understood symptom in many diseases and disorders. New preclinical assays of fatigue may help to improve current understanding of fatigue-like behavior in rodents and many other exercise paradigms and study future treatment of fatigue.
Treadmills are rolling belts (tapis-roulants) with presettable speed and adjustable uphill and downhill inclination (slope), enabling forced exercise training and accurate testing of fatigue in lab animals.
“Treadmill running has been used extensively over the past decades to study behavioral, physiological, biochemical, and, more recently, molecular responses to both acute exer-cise stress and chronic exercise training. Although investigators have used a wide variety of species (…) for treadmill running studies, they have used rodents in most of these studies.
Treadmill running has the distinct advantage over other forms of exercise, including spontaneous wheel running and swimming, that the total amount of external work done by the rat can be easily calculated.
Treadmill running may be construed as a form of forced exercise in which the animal does not have a choice of participating in the activity. Because of this, noxious stimuli (e.g., electric shock and bursts of high-pressure air) may be needed to motivate the animals to exercise”
