Abstract

Mice voluntarily trained on exercise wheels for 16-18 days and were then infected with an approximate LD50 dose of Salmonella typhimurium. These trained mice exhibited a small, but statistically significant (P = 0.037) increase in survival rate (34/77) compared to sedentary control mice (23/79) after 7 days.
