Metabolic Profiling of Mice

Bodyweight and body composition were measured in ad-lib fed conscious mice using an EchoMRI 3-in-1 system nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (Echo Medical Systems, Houston, TX) to determine whole-body lean and fat mass. Mice were individually placed in the Oxymax Lab Animal Monitoring System (Columbus Instruments) with free access to food and water. After overnight acclimation, oxygen consumption, the amount of carbon dioxide produced, food and liquid intake, and locomotor activity (beam breaks) were determined. Respiratory exchange ratios were calculated by dividing the volume of carbon dioxide produced by the volume of oxygen consumed (VCO2/VO2).

Assessing Body Composition and Cardiovascular Parameters in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 39 weeks (ie, end of life), body weight and body composition were measured in ad-lib fed conscious mice using EchoMRI 3-in-1 system nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (Echo Medical Systems, Houston, TX, USA) to determine whole body lean and fat mass. Subsequently, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured by noninvasive tail-cuff volume pressure recording (VPR) using the CODA 8 BP System (Kent Scientific Corporation, Torrington, CT, USA). Briefly, mice were placed into an animal holder on a warming platform and tails were threaded into an O-cuff and then a VPR cuff. Before initiating the blood pressure measurement, a noncontact infrared thermometer was used to confirm that the temperature at the base of the tail was 32-35°C. Subsequently, two runs of 30 measurement cycles were performed to obtain measurement averages. All assays were performed by an expert technician blinded to the experimental group of each mouse.

Comprehensive Metabolic Phenotyping in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body weight and body composition were measured in ad-lib fed
conscious mice using EchoMRI™ 3-in-1 system nuclear magnetic
resonance spectrometer (Echo Medical Systems, Houston, TX) to determine
whole body lean and fat mass. Indirect calorimetry was performed in
individually housed mice using a 20-channel open-circuit indirect
calorimeter, in which 10 cages were mounted inside two thermally controlled
cabinets, maintained at 22°C (Comprehensive Lab Animal Monitoring
System; Columbus Instruments, Columbus, OH, USA). After overnight
acclimation (20 hours), oxygen consumption (VO2), the amount of carbon
dioxide produced (VCO2), energy expenditure, food and water intake,
ambulatory and locomotor activity (infrared beam breaks) were determined
during an initial period of fasting (9am-5pm), as well as for the following
40 hours wherein mice were fed ad libitum. Average
respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was calculated as the ratio of VCO2:VO2
over 48 hours. Energy expenditure was calculated as heat (kcal/hr)=(3.815
+1.232 × RER) × VO2). The metabolic studies were performed at
the Penn Diabetes Research Center Rodent Metabolic Phenotyping Core
(University of Pennsylvania).

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.
