Treatment ID:	TR003053
Treatment Summary:	To evaluate our hypothesis that running exercise reshapes gut microbiota diversity that balances TRP metabolism in the gut, we used an established model of voluntary running exercise in 20-week-old male mice (C57BL/6J, Jackson Lab) housed individually in a standard cage in temperature-controlled (21°C) quarters with a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle. Animals were given water and food (Purina Chow) ad libitum as previously described (Chorna et al., 2013). Briefly, mice were randomized into two groups, sedentary control (n=12) and running experimental (n=12), housed with free access to a wireless running wheel (Med Associates) for six weeks. For the sedentary group, the wheels were locked in the experiment. Therefore, this group of mice could not perform running exercises. Exercise activities of the running group were recorded for each animal for the investigation to ensure that each mouse was physically active. The recording was conducted using an automatic counter and Med Associates software.
