During a live 60-minute webinar on October 1, 2020, Dr. Sharon Ladyman and Dr. Victoria Vieira-Potter shared their current research on rodent metabolic phenotyping with a focus on the effects of hormones and pregnancy on daily activity in mice.
Sable Systems International introduces the Promethion Isocage, designed for metabolic and behavioral studies using germ-free or immunocompromised mice, as well as supporting murine SARS-CoV-2 research. This biocontainment cage starts out as the Tecniplast Isocage-P, which Sable customizes with a magnetically mounted running wheel, food hopper, water bottle and body mass habitat. When integrated with the Promethion Core metabolic and behavioral phenotyping system, the Isocage provides a stress-free environment with high air-flow rates, significantly reducing acclimation time for the animals.
Presented by: Marshall McCue, PhD. Stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool for obesity research. Nutrients labeled with these tracers are nontoxic to animal models and can be continuously tracked in vivo. In this webinar, Dr. Marshall McCue reviews stable isotope biochemistry, standard nomenclature, unit conversions and simple calculations. In addition, he presents case [...]
