Go to CalR, a web application for indirect calorimetry analysis. The CalR project: There is a critical lack of standardization for indirect calorimetry experiments to measure body composition ( Corrigan et al eLife 2020, Banks et al Nature Metabolism 2025). Currently, the same dataset can produce...

Thermogenesis: beta-adrenergic agonist activation of mice housed at thermoneutral temperatures

Page

Male C57Bl/6J mice housed at thermoneutrality were administered the β-adrenergic agonist CL 316,243, and changes in oxygen consumption were continuously measured.
