B37: Physical Inactivity as Hindlimb Unloading in Early Postnatal Mice Negatively Impacts Grip Strength but Not Muscle Size or Myofiber Area in Adult Mice: pilot study results

Background: Physical inactivity has many detrimental effects on health, yet the impact of physical inactivity in early life on muscle health in adulthood remains unknown. Early postnatal malnutrition has prolonged effects into adulthood and we propose that early postnatal physical inactivity would have similar effects. Methods: To test this hypothesis we exposed postnatal mice (~P28, […]

C57: Physical Inactivity Forms Negatively Impact Grip Strength and Body Composition in Early Postnatal Mice

Background: Physical inactivity has many detrimental effects on health, yet the impact of physical inactivity in early life on muscle health in adulthood remains unknown. Early postnatal malnutrition has prolonged effects into adulthood and we propose that early postnatal physical inactivity would have similar effects. Methods: To test this hypothesis we exposed postnatal mice (3-4 […]
