What was a surprising finding from the rat study regarding exercise?

• Exercise had no effect on rats

• Exercise changed the molecular makeup of rat tissues

• Exercise made rats more aggressive

• Exercise decreased the lifespan of rats

How does exercise impact the body's molecular changes compared to disease?
