RotaRod performance is a sensitive indicator of balance and motor coordination, which has been reliably shown to decline in R6/2 mice [40].
Due to the relative ease of forceplate recordings, the COP has commonly been used in previous studies of standing balance control as an indicator of balance stability.
RotaRod performance is a sensitive indicator of balance and motor coordination, which has been reliably shown to decline in R6/2 mice (Hockly et al., 2003 a ).
The battery comprises three tests that assess standing balance (indicator of balance function), walking speed over a distance of 2.44 meters (general indicator of mobility), and the ability to rise from a chair (indicator of muscle power and strength).
To quantify serum advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) at the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus and to determine their potential usefulness as retrospective indicators of glycemic balance.
It is well accepted that indicators of energy balance influence the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Few studies have investigated associations between indicators of energy balance and CIMP status, and those that have, only considered BMI as an indicator of body size.
To our knowledge, associations between indicators of energy balance and CIMP status of colorectal tumors have been reported only by Slattery et al. in a case-control setting [11], [12].
More research is needed to clarify the association between indicators of energy balance and epigenetic mechanisms leading to CRC; preferably in a prospective cohort setting, with many cases [39].
Besides e.g. the BMI indicators of energy balance and nutrition, indicators of stress coping, biomedical and psychosocial parameters will be investigated.
