Thermogenesis: beta-adrenergic agonist activation

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.

Induction of torpor

Page

C57Bl/6J female mice were monitored for body temperature and metabolic rate during the dark photoperiod without food, with the blue trace representing a fed mouse and the red trace a fasted mouse exhibiting torpor (Hrvatin et al., Nature, 2020).

Quantitation rates of substrate oxidation in vivo using stable isotope tracing

Page

In vivo stable isotope tracing with U-¹³C₆ D-mannitol and U-¹³C₆ D-glucose was conducted to enable ¹³CO₂ monitoring in the Promethion indirect calorimeter, with data plotted using CalR for conventional (blue) and commensal-depleted (red) mice (Vieira et al., in press).

BIDMC Mass Spectrometry Core Enables Discovery of TRIDENT, a New Driver of Drug Resistance in Lung Cancer

News: November 24, 2025

A recent PNAS publication from Dr. Frank Slack’s group uncovers TRIDENT, an EGFR-induced long non-coding RNA that plays a key role in tumor growth and chemoresistance in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The team shows that TRIDENT activates TRIM28-mediated DNA damage repair, allowing cancer cells...

Thermogenesis: beta-adrenergic agonist activation

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

Physical activity

Page

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)
