Many discoveries have relied upon careful measurement of body composition and metabolic rates in un-anesthetized, freely moving mice. One metric to determine the impact of a scientific publication is how many times other scientific articles have referred to that work–or citations. Selected highly...

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

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).

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.

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). ​

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 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)
