Measuring basal metabolism of gen obese mice

Measuring  basal metabolism of obese mice/rats

We at Columbus Instruments developed very precise system ( open flow
calorimeter) which measures VO2/VCO2 of genetically defective animals 
either is home cages or during exercise. We utilize differential
measurement of % O2 and %CO2  between input and output of animal chambers
with very high resolution gas analyzers (0.001%).  Optional simultaneous
measurements of animal activity and food intake is also possible. This
system already helps researchers in major pharmaceutical companies from
Amgen, through Merck to Sandoz and Zeneca.
