“…In all the study animals, food intake was measured daily, and food and water were supplied ad libitum for the entire duration of the immobilization or recovery periods. In all mice, body weight and limb strength were determined on day 0, and right at the end of the immobilization or recovery time‐points (day 7, as described above) using a scale and a grip strength meter (Bioseb, Vitrolles, France), respectively, as previously reported (Barreiro & Gea, ; Chacon‐Cabrera et al, , , ; Chacon‐Cabrera, Gea, et al, ; Chacon‐Cabrera, Mateu‐Jimenez, et al, ). In the two groups of animals, total body weight and limb strength gain variables were calculated as the percentage of the measurements performed at the end of the study period (7‐day I or 7‐day R) with respect to the same measurements obtained at baseline (day 0 or on day 7 following the immobilization protocol) in the 7‐day I and 7‐day R study groups, respectively.…”
