Description

Device for mouse sarcopenia modeling
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mouse feeding, and particularly relates to a device for mouse sarcopenia modeling.
Background
Sarcopenia refers primarily to an age-related reduction in muscle mass, combined with a decrease in muscle strength and/or body function. With the progress of aging in society, sarcopenia has become a prominent problem affecting the health of the elderly, and research on the occurrence mechanism and prevention and treatment of sarcopenia is a research hotspot at present. The selection and establishment of the sarcopenia animal model are the basis for the development of related researches, and are particularly important in the research of sarcopenia of the elderly.
Due to the problems of complexity of aging, uncertainty of experimental intervention and the like, no animal modeling method similar to clinical sarcopenia pathology exists at present. At present, common mouse sarcopenia models are hind limb suspension method, joint position fixing method and the like, and the symptoms and pathology expressed by muscle attenuation are not consistent with those of sarcopenia of the old; the development of transgenic mice associated with sarcopenia and aging-accelerated model mice requires a longer period of time and the changes in the mouse muscle pathology can only partially mimic clinical sarcopenia.
The device aims to simulate an ideal model of skeletal muscle loss in human aging and simulate muscle mass reduction and muscle strength reduction caused by reduction of activity of old people. However, the conventional mouse breeding device cannot meet the requirement of experimental model building. A plurality of mice are usually bred in one breeding device, the internal space of the box body is relatively large, and the mice can easily train the muscles of the whole body by climbing the side wall of the breeding cage and the iron net for loading food materials and water bottles at the top, so that the requirement of muscle deficiency molding can not be met. Meanwhile, middle-aged and old mice bred by modeling are generally retired breeding mice, and male mice closed in the same cage position can have violent fighting behaviors to destroy the modeling environment.
Moreover, the existing rearing cages can not monitor the water intake, food intake and activity of each mouse, and are not beneficial to the collection and analysis of relevant experimental data. The excrement and urine of mouse and bedding material are mixed together, accumulate in the bottom of the box, all need take out the mouse when every clearance, and are very inconvenient.
