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)
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...
EchoMRI 3-in-1 Body Composition Analyzer Measures live mice up to 100g, tissue samples (including Zebrafish) of 10g, and biopsy samples up to 0.1g Measurements include lean mass, fat mass, and water mass 5 minutes per mouse No anesthesia required
Optogenetic stimulation of Agrp neurons in ChR2-expressing mice was performed in the Promethion calorimeter, with food intake, metabolic rate, body temperature, and activity measured during the stimulation period.
