Summary: Exercise can delay aging and have beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system. High body weight is more protective for muscle and bone health, while exercise can increase muscle size and function, and reduce muscle loss. The combination of exercise and high body weight has the best effect on muscle and bone health.

Summary: Exercise has been proven to improve cognitive function, and studies on both humans and animals have shown this. Laboratory mice are often used as a model to study the effects of exercise, and running wheels provide a voluntary and stress-free form of exercise for mice. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the cognitive state of a mouse and its wheel-running behavior. The results showed that high-runner mice exhibited enhanced learning capabilities and ate more compared to the other groups. Interestingly, individual mice had different reactions when introduced to running wheels, suggesting the importance of considering individual differences in voluntary endurance exercise studies.

Summary: This study found that exercise has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat, reducing the infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibrotic lesions. Furthermore, exercise also increased the expression of antioxidative distress proteins, improved the degree of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in alveolar epithelial cells, and ultimately alleviated paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Summary: The study developed a convolutional neural network model to accurately assess the running frequency of aged mice. The model achieved a 94% accuracy rate. This research method provides a higher resolution of information for studying the physiological effects of voluntary wheel running activity.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if percent fat-free mass loss (% FFML) after diet alone, diet plus aerobic, or diet plus resistance exercise is a predictor of weight regain in women with overweight. In premenopausal women with overweight, % FFML was found to be a significant predictor of weight regain. The results support strategies to preserve fat-free mass during weight loss.

Summary: This article introduces a method that combines radiotelemetry system and running wheels to determine spontaneous cage activity and voluntary exercise levels of individual animals in group-housed rodents. A software tool is developed for fast and reliable data analysis. This method can be used to study the benefits of physical activity and the impact of therapeutic interventions on animal behavior.

Summary: Anxiety disorders are commonly diagnosed psychological conditions that are often treated with drugs, but these medications can have side effects. Exercise is an effective treatment for anxiety, and it has been found to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that may help reduce anxiety. Research suggests that exercise-derived EVs may have anti-anxiety effects.

Summary: Obesity is a global medical issue, and diet and exercise play a role in improving senescence in adipose tissue. Research has shown that exercise can reduce the expression of senescence-related genes in the visceral adipose tissue of young mice and has a legacy effect.

Summary: Hearing loss is a common chronic health condition in older adults, and age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most prevalent form of hearing impairment. Research has shown significant differences in hearing between males and females, with men experiencing more rapid hearing loss. However, the cellular mechanism underlying these sex differences in hearing remains unknown, and there is currently no well-established animal model for studying this phenomenon. In this study, the researchers investigated sex differences in body composition, physical activity, balance performance, auditory function, and cochlear histology in CBA/CaJ mice of different ages. The findings suggest that the CBA/CaJ mouse strain is a valuable model for studying the cellular mechanisms underlying sex differences in physical activity and hearing.

Summary: Regular aerobic activity, specifically voluntary wheel running, can reduce the risk of chronic pain by inhibiting MAC and preserving myelin integrity at the site of peripheral nerve injury.

Summary: Cisplatin decreases energy-consuming activities but not energy-procuring activities unless they require a choice between options differing in their cost-benefit ratio. The physical dimension of fatigue is more likely to develop in cisplatin-treated individuals than the motivational dimension of fatigue.

Summary: The study found that exercise helps faster recovery from paclitaxel-induced weight loss and deficits in melanocortin signaling, but did not alleviate fatigue or inflammation. Body mass recovery was associated with the wheel running-induced recovery of body composition and associated peripheral circulating hormones.

Summary: Weight loss can alleviate obesity-related co-morbidities, but is hard to sustain with dietary changes. Dietary adherence is a better predictor of weight loss. Genetic variants may influence response to specific diets.

Summary: Maternal overnutrition increases offspring's susceptibility to metabolic diseases, while maternal exercise can improve glucose metabolism. However, the underlying mechanism of intergenerational effects of maternal exercise on glucose metabolism benefits is not fully understood.

Summary: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can lead to delirium-like states, and postmenopausal females are more susceptible to delirium following UTIs. It has been found that 17 beta-estradiol can reduce neuronal injury and improve delirium-like behaviors caused by UTIs, possibly by suppressing the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Summary: Prone positioning can alleviate neuronal injury and inflammation by reducing interleukin 6 (IL-6) in a model of mechanical ventilation-induced acute lung injury. Further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between prone positioning and delirium, and to develop novel diagnostic or therapeutic approaches to reduce systemic and cerebral IL-6 expression.
