Thermogenesis: cold temperature challenge

Male C57Bl/6J mice (10–14 weeks, JAX) were monitored in the Promethion indirect calorimeter at 30°C, 23°C, and 4°C, tracking body weight and energy expenditure, with data analyzed in CalR. ​

Pharmacologic induction of metabolic rate (T3)

C57Bl/6J male mice were monitored in the Promethion indirect calorimeter, and data were analyzed in CalR to compare energy expenditure between T3-treated and vehicle groups (Hochbaum et al., Cell, 2024).

Diet-induced obesity

Analysis of diet-induced obesity experiments in male C57Bl/6J mice on a low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), demonstrating differences in body weight, energy intake, expenditure, and balance (Banks et al., Nature Metabolism, 2025). ​

Chemogenetic stimulation of metabolism

Mice expressing DREADDs and non-DREADD controls were monitored in the Promethion indirect calorimeter, with CNO administered at hour 4 and data plotted in CalR.

Wheel running

Wheel-running activity was continuously recorded over several days, showing hourly running patterns and cumulative wheel counts across alternating light and dark cycles. ​

Physical activity

Physical activity was monitored by infrared beam breaks in the Promethion indirect calorimeter for one hour in either a mouse with ad libitum access to food or shortly after food removal. (Rubio et al., Mol Metabolism, 2023)
