Voluntary Running Aids to Maintain High Body Temperature in Rats Bred for High Aerobic Capacity

Voluntary Running Aids to Maintain High Body Temperature in Rats Bred for High Aerobic Capacity

The production of heat , i.e. thermogenesis, is a significant component of the metabolic rate, which in turn affects weight gain and health. Thermogenesis is linked to physical activity (PA) level. However, it is not known whether intrinsic exercise capacity, aging, and long-term voluntary running...
