Treadmill – Interchangeable Lane Assembly for Mice and Rats

Description Of Treadmill – Interchangeable Lane Assembly for Mice and Rats

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.
