Additionally, in a similar study with endurance runners, participants ran 6km at anaerobic threshold ([V.sub.OBLA]) and the results showed no sign of contractile enhancement, suggesting a balance of fatigue and potentiation via an impairment of the excitation-contraction coupling (Skof et al., 2006a).

Ras-grf mice have defective long-term potentiation (LTP), "a form of synaptic plasticity that is known to be important for learning and memory." In previous studies, the researchers had observed that this temporary exposure to an enriched environment leads to normal LTP in these mice for about 2 months before dropping to defective LTP levels found in unexposed ras-grf mice.
