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. ​

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).

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). ​

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 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)

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School - The home of CalR Energy Balance Metabolic Core at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School is a facility designed for the measurement of energy intake, nutritional status, and energy expenditure in experimental mice. This facility consists of...

Our facilities were updated and re-launched as an institutional Energy Balance Metabolic Core in 2019 to continue the tradition of excellence in metabolic research. This included a bomb calorimeter and a thermal imaging camera. In 2020 we obtained a Promethion indirect calorimeter and DSI’s...

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