Indirect Calorimetry for Energy Expenditure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Indirect calorimetry was performed in fully automatic metabolic cages (LabMaster System, TSE Systems, Bad Homburg, Germany) during the ninth week of treatment. After 1 day of acclimatization, O2 consumption, CO2 production and caloric intake were measured for 3 consecutive days42 (link). Total EE was estimated from the VO2 and resting energy requirement. Carbohydrate oxidation was calculated using the formula ((4.585*VCO2)−(3.226*VO2))*4, in which the 4 represents the conversion from mass per time unit to kcal per time unit43 (link). Similarly, fat oxidation was calculated using the formula ((1.695*VO2)−(1.701*VCO))*9. Values were normalized to lean mass. Physical activity was monitored using infrared sensor frames. The first 12 h directly after injection with CL316243 or vehicle (‘Day of treatment’) were analysed and compared with the same 12-h period 24 h later (‘Day after treatment’).

Metabolic Flexibility Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 12 weeks on the experimental diets, indirect calorimetric measurements were performed using the LabMaster System (TSE Systems) as previously described (21 (link)). The respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was measured as the ratio of O2 inhalation to CO2 production, averaged over a 12-h period. Metabolic flexibility was defined as the absolute change in RER between successive light and dark cycles. Energy expenditure, activity and food consumption were also quantified.

Locomotor activity, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were simultaneously measured in individually housed mice with a LabMaster system (TSE Systems). Mice were acclimatised for 2 days, and data were collected for 2 days and analysed. The light and feeding conditions were consistent with those in the home cages.

After a 2 day acclimatization period, O2 and CO2 gas exchange measurements were obtained for a 4 day period from each mouse using the open circuit chambers Labmaster system (TSE Systems, Germany).

Circadian Behavior and Metabolism Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LabMaster system (TSE Systems, Chesterfield, MO) was used to measure the circadian pattern of locomotor activity and ingestion behavior as well as indirect calorimetry. Mice were placed in mock (non-recording) LabMaster cages for 1 week prior to testing to acclimate to the novel environment. After the acclimation period, the mice were transferred to recording cages at 8am. Data are recorded starting at 6am the following day, for 3 consecutive days. Animals received water and food ad libitum and remained undisturbed by the investigator during observation. The LabMaster system consists of a combination of feeding and drinking sensors, a photobeam-based activity monitoring system, and a calorimetry system to determine O2 consumption, CO2 production, and respiratory exchange ratio (volume CO2/ volume O2).

Indirect Calorimetry in Offspring Mice

Food consumption was registered daily, and body weight of each male offspring mouse was registered weekly for the 24-week period, always at the same time of the day during the middle of the light period. Indirect calorimetric measurements were carried out with the LabMaster system (TSE Systems, Midland, MI) in a separate subset of SF offspring and SC offspring at the Mouse Metabolic Core Facility to allow monitoring of VO2, VCO2, and respiratory exchange ratio. VO2, VCO2, and respiratory exchange ratio were recorded for 7 days during the 7th week of life, and gain was recorded during the 23rd to 24th weeks of life.

Calorimetry of SOD1 ALS Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total energy expenditure of treated and untreated 120 day‐old SOD1G93A and WT littermate mice (n ≥ 6 for each experimental group) was measured through an indirect calorimetry system (TSE PhenoMaster/LabMaster System, Germany) at constant air flow of 0.35 L min−1. Measures were carried out at intervals of 20 min for each mouse, starting at 7:00 PM and ending automatically after 48 h or 72 h (12 h dark–light phase comparison). Mice were assessed under standard nutritional conditions (i.e. standard diet‐fed) and food/water intake and locomotor activity were continuously monitored (Giacovazzo et al., 2018 (link); Scaricamazza et al., 2020 (link); Steyn et al., 2020 (link)).

Three-month-old male mice were acclimated in metabolic chambers (TSE Systems) for 4 d before the start of the recordings. Mice were continuously recorded for 3 d with the following measurements being taken every 30 min: water intake, food intake, ambulatory activity (in X and Z axes), and gas exchange (O2 and CO2) (using the TSE LabMaster system). VO2, VCO2, and energy expenditure were calculated according to the manufacturer's guidelines (PhenoMaster Software, TSE Systems). Body composition was measured utilizing MRI (EchoMRI).

Metabolic Cage Analysis of Mice

During the third week of treatment, mice (n = 8 per group) were placed in fully automatic metabolic cages (LabMaster System, TSE Systems, Bad Homburg, Germany) to assess energy expenditure and physical activity levels. After 20 h of acclimatization, oxygen uptake (V˙ O2) and carbon dioxide production (V˙ CO2) were measured for five consecutive days. Total energy expenditure (EE) was calculated from V˙ O2 and V˙ CO2 using the Weir equation [35 (link)]. Fat and glucose oxidation rates were calculated from V˙ O2 and V˙ CO2, as described previously [36 (link)]. Physical activity was measured using infrared sensor frames.

Metabolic Profiling of Mice Using LabMaster

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Metabolic studies were performed using the LabMaster system (TSE Systems, Bad Homburg, Germany) [15 (link)]. All mice used were acclimatized in metabolic cages for 48 h before measurements of each parameters with ad libitum access to food and drink. VCO2 and VO2 were determined using O2 and CO2 sensors calibrated against a standard gas mix containing defined quantities of O2 and CO2. The ratio between VCO2 and VO2 indicates the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) [15 (link)]. Animal activity was expressed as all of the movement recorded across the X and Y axes [16 (link)]. Daily food and drink intake were monitored by weighing food hoppers and drink bottles. All the measurements were taken every 15 min for a total of 24 h.

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.
