DNA microarray analysis of transcriptional responses of mouse spinal cords to physical exercise

Abstract

We present herein transcriptional changes in mouse spinal cords in response to physical exercise on a treadmill using a DNA microarray. By 30-min exercise, the expression of 3 genes was enhanced and expression of 29 genes reduced. By continuous 2-week exercise (30-min exercise per day), the expression of 1 gene was enhanced and expression of 13 genes reduced.
