Area of Science:

  • Exercise physiology
  • Metabolic disease research
  • Animal models in biomedical research

Background:

  • Exercise training combats metabolic diseases.
  • Mouse models are crucial for exercise research.
  • Ambient housing temperatures may induce cold stress, confounding results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the impact of thermoneutral housing on exercise adaptations in mice.
  • Determine if thermoneutral housing affects the translation of exercise benefits from mice to humans.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of exercise training effects under ambient versus thermoneutral housing conditions.
  • Assessment of insulin action, energy expenditure, body composition, and tissue protein expression.

Main Results:

  • Thermoneutral housing blunted exercise-induced improvements in insulin action.
  • Training effects on energy expenditure, body composition, and tissue protein were reduced under thermoneutral conditions.
  • Many exercise effects in mice may be linked to housing temperature-induced metabolic stress.

Conclusions:

  • Exercise adaptations in mice are critically dependent on housing temperature.
  • Housing temperature is a crucial factor for designing and interpreting murine exercise studies.
  • Findings highlight challenges in translating mouse exercise research to human health.
