A set of C57 mice were allowed access to wheels (WR) and another set of C57 mice (non-WR) were kept in their cages without a wheel. After 6 weeks of running by the WR mice (at typical cruising speeds - 3.5 km/hr), both sets of mice were tested on treadmill.

VO2 max was also measured on the treadmill. WR mice reached their max VO2 at a speed of 5 km/hour whicle the VO2 max of the non-WR was reached at 4 km/hr. How would the value for VO2 at maximum in WR compare to the non-WR mice? Explain the physiologcal basis for your answer.
The VO2 of WR and non-WR mice was measured while running on the treadmill at the same submaximal speed setting (3.5 km/hr). How would their VO2 values compare? Explain your answer.
How would the ventilatory rate and cardiovascular responses (CO and MAP) compare between strains when the WR and non-WR mice are running at the same submaximal speed (3.5 km/hr)? Explain your answer.

VO2 max was also measured on the treadmill. WR mice reached their max VO2 at a speed of 5 km/hour whicle the VO2 max of the non-WR was reached at 4 km/hr. How would the value for VO2 at maximum in WR compare to the non-WR mice? Explain the physiologcal basis for your answer.

WR MICE ARE HAVE ROUTINE PRACTICE TO WORK AND DEVELOPED MUSCLES FOR THE SAME AND ESTBLISHED ENHANCED RELATION BETWEEN HEART OUT PUT AND GAS EXCHANGE CAPACITY IN LUNGS. WHILE NON WR GROUP OF MICE HAS NORMAL WORKING CAPCITY ON TRADEMILL SO IMPROVEMENT WILL BE COMPARED WITH NON WR GROUP OF MICE TAKING IT AS ZERO.

The VO2 of WR and non-WR mice was measured while running on the treadmill at the same submaximal speed setting (3.5 km/hr). How would their VO2 values compare? Explain your answer.

VO2 WILL BE LOW IN CASE OF WR GROUP WHILE THAT OF NON WR GROUP WILL BE HAVING HIGH VO2 AT CONSTANT AND SUBMAXIMAL TRADEMILL SPEED. THIS IS BECAUSE THE WR GROUP HAS ATTAINED ADAPTATION TO UTILIZE MAXIMUM OF O2 WITH HELP OF ENHANCED CARDIAC SUPPLY OF BLOOD WITH LEAST FATIGUE I.E. LEAST LACTIC ACID ACCUMULATION.

How would the ventilatory rate and cardiovascular responses (CO and MAP) compare between strains when the WR and non-WR mice are running at the same submaximal speed (3.5 km/hr)? Explain your answer.

AS DISSCUSSED ABOVE IN B SECTION THAT PREPARED WR GROUP ARE READY DEVELOPED GAS EXHANGE AND STRENGTHY CARDIAC OUTPUT WILL BE HAVING LOW VO2 IN COMPARISON TO NORMALLY ADAPTED NON WR GROUP OF ANIMALS

Researchers compared antibody responses in normal and alloxan diabetic mice. Three groups of mice were studied: normal, alloxan diabetic, and alloxan diabetic treated with insulin. Several comparisons are of interest: - Does the antibody response of alloxan diabetic mice differ from the antibody response of normal mice? - Does treating alloxan diabetic mice with insulin affect their antibody response? - Does the antibody response of alloxan diabetic mice treated with insulin differ from the antibody response of normal mice?

State laws vary in the degree to which employers are allowed to have access to information about the criminal history records of potential employees. In particular, Florida allows employers very open access, Michigan provides access for only some employers, and Tennessee provides access to no employers. Employers sometimes use the criminal history records to avoid hiring ex-offenders. As a result, ex-offenders in states where it is easier to find out who is an ex-offender have worse employment outcomes (lower wages) than ex-offenders...

Patients are allowed to access their medical records and can ask that certain information be added or excluded from their file. Providers who include their patients in their medical record keeping foster trust and respect with their patients. Discuss four purposes of medical records. Based on the four purposes you listed, what could cause a patient to lose trust in the medical clinic? How would you address the issue?

A given strain of mice were injected with the same amount of tumor pulp that came from a large tumor excised from another mouse. After the tumor injections, the mice were then randomly injected with one of two chemotherapy treatments (C or B). Fifty days after the chemotherapy injection, the tumor volumes (in cubic centimeters) were measured. Researchers hypothesize that treatment C will be more effective than treatment B.

A given strain of mice were injected with the same amount of tumor pulp that came from a large tumor excised from another mouse. After the tumor injections, the mice were then randomly injected with one of two chemotherapy treatments (B or D). Twenty days after the chemotherapy injection, the tumor volumes (in cubic centimeters) were measured. Researchers hypothesize that treatment D will be more effective than treatment B.
