Metabolism
Indirect calorimetry integration for VO2/VCO2/RER measurement during rest and exercise. ConductMaze synchronizes treadmill speed with gas exchange sampling for real-time metabolic profiling.
Metabolic Cage (Indirect Calorimetry)
Metabolic cage systems (indirect calorimetry) provide comprehensive, continuous monitoring of whole-body energy metabolism by measuring oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER = VCO2/VO2) over extended periods (24-72 hours).
7 parametersFood Intake Monitoring
Automated food intake monitoring provides continuous, high-resolution measurement of feeding behavior by recording food hopper weight at frequent intervals (typically every second to every minute).
6 parametersVO2/VCO2 and Respiratory Exchange Ratio
Indirect calorimetry measures oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) to quantify whole-body energy expenditure and substrate utilization in rodents.
8 parametersMetabolic Treadmill Exercise Testing
The metabolic treadmill protocol combines graded exercise testing with indirect calorimetry to measure maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max), exercise endurance, and substrate utilization during physical exertion in rodents.
8 parametersBody Composition Tracking
Body composition tracking is a longitudinal phenotyping protocol that combines regular body weight measurements with non-invasive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry to quantify lean mass, fat mass, and free fluid compartments in live, conscious rodents over the course of an experimental intervention.
8 parametersIndirect Calorimetry Fasting Challenge
The indirect calorimetry fasting challenge measures metabolic flexibility by tracking the shift in respiratory exchange ratio (RER) from carbohydrate oxidation (RER approaching 1.
10 parametersBlood Pressure Monitoring
Non-invasive tail-cuff blood pressure measurement provides repeated, longitudinal hemodynamic monitoring in conscious mice without surgical instrumentation.
