Hoof accelerations and ground reaction forces of Thoroughbred racehorses measured on dirt, synthetic, and turf track surfaces.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare hoof acceleration and ground reaction force (GRF) data among dirt, synthetic, and turf surfaces in Thoroughbred racehorses. ANIMALS: 3 healthy Thoroughbred racehorses. PROCEDURES: Forelimb hoof accelerations and GRFs were ... Read more...

DNA microarray analysis of transcriptional responses of mouse spinal cords to physical exercise.

29 Sep 2009 We present herein transcriptional changes in mouse spinal cords in response to physical exercise on a treadmill using a DNA microarray. By 30-min exercise, the expression of 3 genes was enhanced and expression of 29 genes reduced. By continuous ... Read more...

Does loading influence the severity of cartilage degeneration in the canine Groove-model of OA?

29 Sep 2009 Many animal models are used to study osteoarthritis (OA). In these models the role of joint loading in the development of OA is not fully understood. We studied the effect of loading on the development of OA in the canine Groove-model. In ten female ... Read more...
