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.
Procedures conducted:

|
| • 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 | |
Hot plate. |
