Experiment

Energy Balance and Max Test #18459 9/29/14
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Wasserman, David
Description During the first week mice received energy expenditure measured by indirect
calorimetry in the Promethion by Sable Systems. Activity, food intake and water
intake are also continuously measured.
Measurements were taken for 5 consecutive days.
Running wheels were not present in the cage.
Mice were fed ad libitum.
Water: regular tap water, ad libitum.

Groups:
Male WT (C56BL/6J +/+ ) and KO (C57BL/6J-Sirt3tm1Was) mice.
Mice were fed a chow diet (LabDiets 5001).

Purpose of the experiment: This experiment will determine whether the groups of
mice have different energy expenditure and feeding behaviors.

Applicable Research Areas: Metabolism , Body weight regulation, energy
expenditure, feeding behavior.

During the second week mice received energy expenditure measured by indirect
calorimetry in the Oxymax by Columbus Instruments. Mice were trained to run on
the treadmill by running them on a treadmill for 10 minutes at 10 m/min 2 to 3
days prior to the experiment. On the day of the experiment mice were placed in
the treadmill attached to the oxymax. The treadmill was turned off for 30
minutes to take readings of the animal rested. Mice were then run on a treadmill
at gradually increasing speeds until exhaustion. When the mice became exhausted
the treadmill was turned off and recordings were taken for another 30 minutes.
Speeds were increased by 4 m/min every 3 minutes, with the starting speed set to
10 m/min.

Groups:
Male WT (C56BL/6J +/+ ) and KO (C57BL/6J-Sirt3tm1Was) mice.
Mice were fed a chow diet (LabDiets 5001).

Purpose of the experiment: This experiment will determine whether the groups of
mice have different energy expenditure and different exercise capacity.

Applicable Research Areas: Metabolism , Body weight regulation, energy
expenditure.
