The
Comparative and Exercise Physiology Program facilities are primarily
housed in either Irvine Hall or the Life
Sciences Building located on the West
Green of Ohio University. Sophisticated
facilities for both animal and human
investigations exist, with those
available to students including standard
exercise and metabolic physiology
facilities such as VO2max
testing equipment, underwater weighing
body composition equipment and isometric
and isokinetic strength testing
equipment. In addition to these
facilities, other state-of-the-art
equipment includes: a muscle biopsy
laboratory; an electron microscopy
facility; a quantitative microscopy and
imaging facility with a laser scanning
confocal microscope; transcranial and
peripheral nerve stimulators;
electrophysiology recording facilities;
immunoradiometric assay and
radioimmunoassay equipment; a transgenic mouse facility; a molecular
genetics laboratory with
computer-assisted DNA, RNA, and protein
sequencing facilities; and an NMR
facility. Animal holding
facilities are available for ectothermic
and endothermic vertebrates and aquatic
animal holdings. The Alden Library has
approximately 1.1 million volumes and
receives over 1000 biological and
biomedical journals. Access to other
Ohio universities collections are also
available through the OhioLink library
system.
