Services Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indirect Calorimetry<\/strong> to evaluate and interpret energy intake, expenditure, and activity via a combined indirect calorimetry system in a home cage environment. Voluntary running wheels can be integrated for investigators interested in measuring energy expenditure while exposed to voluntary
\nexercise.<\/p>\n

Voluntary Running Wheels<\/strong> provide daily measurement summaries including total daily revolutions, time spent running, average speed, and maximum speed recorded in real-time.<\/p>\n

MRI<\/strong> technology to evaluate whole body composition, including fat mass, lean tissue, and water in live mice without anesthesia. EchoMRI analysis also offers measurements for whole tissues and tissue biopsies.<\/p>\n

Treadmill<\/strong> analysis of mouse exercise performance help examine the metabolic parameters in mice using speed, acceleration, and distance traveled as measures of maximal performance.<\/p>\n

Metabolic Cages for Collection of Urine & Feces <\/strong>provide a custom system of 15 metabolic cages with a cooling unit to keep samples at, or below, 45\u00baF during the collection, preventing bacterial multiplication and improving sample quality and shelf life.<\/p>\n

Study Design & Data Interpretation<\/strong> expertise to assist you in developing your study. We offer guidance to ensure quality control and study efficiency. Our core provides analysis for a wide variety of animal experiments requiring measurements of metabolism and energy balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
