The Claim
In adult female mice undergoing progressive weighted wheel running, intermittent rapamycin administration at 2 mg/kg once weekly is associated with a greater cumulative running volume compared to both vehicle control and more frequent dosing regimens, indicating that less frequent mTOR inhibition may enhance voluntary exercise behavior.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Giving female mice a certain drug (rapamycin) once a week helps them run more on their own compared to giving it more often or not at all.

In adult female mice, intermittent rapamycin dosing (2mg/kg once weekly) during progressive weighted wheel running is associated with greater cumulative running volume compared to vehicle or frequent dosing, suggesting that less frequent mTOR inhibition may enhance voluntary exercise behavior.
