RNA-Seq of the rectus femoris muscle of mice after 3-week treadmill training versus sedentary control
This study investigates the effects of exercise and genetic predisposition on the transcriptomic profile of the rectus femoris muscle of long-term selected marathon (DUhTP) and non-inbred (DUC) mice. All mice used in this experiment were male. In the exercise group, mice underwent treadmill training for three weeks. For the sedentary control group, mice were kept under minimal physical activities. For the 3-week training program, the mice were running  five days per week (Monday to Friday) starting at age of 49 days after birth (Walz et. al. 2021). All mice were sacrificed at day 70 of life for tissue sampling.
