Animals were assessed in these areas: body and bone composition, cardiovascular,
grip strength, pain sensitivity using DXA system, conscious non-invasive ECG and blood pressure,
cold/hot plate analgesia, and grip strength.

• DXA | |
Body mass, fat mass, lean mass, bone mineral density and content (whole body, femur, spine). |
• ECG | |
Heart rate and wave intervals. Conscious. |
• tail cuff | |
Heart rate and blood pressure. Conscious mice. |
• grip strength | |
Peak tension. |
• nociception assay | |
