Thermogenesis: cold temperature challenge

Page
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. ​

Chemogenetic stimulation of metabolism

Page
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.

Pharmacologic induction of metabolic rate (T3)

Page
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).
