Russian term

равном 10 г на вертикальных шестах

Russian to English Other Other Phytotherapy research
The close parenthesis is missing in this long sentence, adding to my confusion. I believe we are looking at 10 g tail weights. Backing up to the beginning of the sentence:

Стимулирующее действие определяли в опытах с повторным принудительным удерживанием белых мышей (самцы весом 18-24 г с грузом на хвосте, равном 10 г на вертикальных шестах до полного утомления дважды: here the times are specified.

I am assuming that the weights are 10 g and that the close parenthesis should come immediately after the 10g. Then I would understand the text to mean that the twice repeated experiment involves keeping the mice on the vertical poles until they are completely exhausted. Am I right about the parenthesis? Am I understanding the text correctly? Thanks, folks. I appreciate your expertise.

Thanks, boostrer. One more question: How do I give you points for a discussion entry :)?
boostrer Feb 17, 2010:
The time was measured before the drug was administered, and then after it was (or was not in the control group)
boostrer Feb 17, 2010:
Yes, you are right: Стимулирующее действие определяли в опытах с повторным принудительным удерживанием белых мышей (самцы весом 18-24 г с грузом на хвосте, равном 10 г на вертикальных шестах до полного утомления) дважды: here the times are specified (before and after the substance was administered).
