High-Resolution Metabolic and Behavioral Phenotyping Course

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 of accessory devices such as a metabolic treadmill and a stable isotope analyzer will also be taught.
