Interesting. But I don't see their conclusion that exercise can help --
it appears that these rats were genetically developed to either have or
not have aerobic capacity.

That address that toward the end of the article...even the low-capacity rat
were able to make significant improvements through training...though they
were no where near the genetically gifted rats.

There is a message in that, too.

I'm sure glad I'm not a rat!

I also happily use sacharrine every day, whidh did in all those poor lab
rats back in the 70's!
