The course teaches participants how to use Promethion Core for the metabolic and behavioral phenotyping of mice and rats. The participants will learn how to comprehensively phenotype rodents by combining indirect calorimetry measurements with behavior measurements. Behavior measurements include food & water intake, wheel running, and general activities such as walking or resting. The use...

This respirometry course teaches participants how to use indirect calorimetry. We will apply techniques for measuring real‐time O2 consumption, CO2 production, and water loss for subjects ranging from small invertebrates to large mammals. Participants will work on both single animal and multiplexed systems in both open‐flow and stop‐flow configurations. Data analysis is a significant focus...
