Abstract excerpt
Cardiovascular stress in response to treadmill exercise is frequently used to detect cardiac abnormalities that are not readily apparent at rest. Herein we describe a treadmill exercise protocol for mice that allows for quantitation of the performance of an animal and the ability to gather metabo...
