Abstract
Locomotor activity of mice was not affected by age up to 10 months. Mice of the VY/Wf and YS/ChWf strains were more active than mice of the C57BL/6J and C57BL/KsJ strains. Locomotor activity of ob/ob and db/db mice decreased significantly after these mice became corpulent. This is not the case for Avy/a, Ay/a and NZO mice. Before they became corpulent, none of the mice genetically destined to become obese were less active than normal mice.Keywords
