Didn’t we have something similar to this years ago? Seems it was called “Speed.”

This study, it should be noted, was performed on a series of 10 vermincycles aka “rodent wheels” constructed out of passivated high-strength aircraft aluminum alloy machined to tolerances of +/- .0001 mm at a cost of $837,300.

‘Speed’ isn’t legal, My comment, though, was more tongue in cheek. Users of it I knew back in the day couldn’t sit still didn’t eat. If I recall correctly, a weaker version of it was in several diet pills for a while.

Didnt we have something similar to this years ago? Seems it was called Speed. "For instance, the diabetes drug metformin activates the same enzyme activated by AICAR."
Amphetamines couldn't be more different than metformin, IMHO.

"But where in the world is the need for long distance running mice?" Gotta get all those chubby cats into shape chasing the long-distance running mice!
