Metabolism was measured applying indirect Calorimetry. We used Promethion metabolic cage system-Sable Systems International. The system is equipped with GA-3 small mammal gas analyzers for measurements of O2 (consumption) and CO2 (production). Energy expenditure, food intake, water consumption, body weight, physical activity and volunteer exercise were simultaneously recorded over 4 consecutive days (96 h). Mice were housed individually in metabolic cages and accustomed to their environment a day before the start of recording. Data were analyzed using Sable System Expedata-P Data Analysis Software. Subsequently, we applied CalR software, a free web tool for analysis of experiments using indirect calorimetry (Mina et al., 2018 (link)), to analyze our raw data, generate some of our plots and run statistical analysis (https://calrapp.org). The whole-body composition analysis was conducted using a quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance machine (EchoMRI-2012, Echo Medical Systems).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
