Thermoneutral housing

1. Thermoneutral housing improves heart rate variability in mice.

   “Importantly, age-associated declines in HRV observed at 20 °C were ameliorated when mice were studied at their thermoneutral ambient temperature of 30 °C.”

2. Thermoneutral housing increases heart rate variability in mice.

   “In both age groups, HRV parameters in time, frequency, and non-linear domains displayed increased variability at 30 °C compared to 20 °C under basal conditions.”

1. Thermoneutral housing decreases heart rate in mice.

   “Mean basal and intrinsic HR of both young and aged mice became markedly reduced at 30 °C compared to 20 °C.”
