Indirect calorimetry equipment for measures of energy expenditure

来自哥伦布仪器公司的Oxymax经济型系统（7670 x-D52）是一种开路间接热量计，可用于测量啮齿动物的能量消耗。我的兴趣在于能量平衡的内分泌调节。 食物消耗的测量提供关于动物能量摄入的信息，活动和氧气消耗的测量提供关于动物能量消耗的信息。 为了在能量平衡被破坏的转基因动物模型中进行彻底的代谢分析，我需要这样一个系统来产生准确，可靠的能量消耗测量值。Oxymax经济系统是基础模型，如果我的需求/研究计划扩展到需要增加测量能力，它可以升级为多室系统。 我有三年的经验，使用代谢监测设备从哥伦布仪器，包括这个Oxymax系统。

The Oxymax Economy System (7670x-D52) from Columbus Instruments is an open-circuit indirect calorimeter that will allow measurements of energy expenditure in rodents. My interests lie in the endocrine regulation of energy balance. Measurements of food consumption give information regarding an animals energy intake, measurements of activity and oxygen consumption provide information about an animals energy expenditure. In order to conduct thorough metabolic analyses in transgenic animal models of disrupted energy balance I require a system such as this to produce accurate, reliable measurements of energy expenditure.The Oxymax Economy System is the base model that can be upgraded to a multi-chamber system in the future should my needs/research program expand to require increased measuring capabilitites. I have had three years experience using metabolic monitoring equipment from Columbus instruments including this Oxymax system.
