A consensus guide to preclinical indirect calorimetry experiments - Nature Metabolism
The authors highlight inconsistencies and divergencies in the literature reporting data on indirect calorimetry for studies on whole-body energy homeostasis, and propose harmonization of standards to facilitate data comparison and interpretation across different datasets.

🧵1/15 Delighted to share our study on the naked mole-rat (NMR): a mammal with bizarre thermal biology, notorious longevity, and cancer resistance. But how do NMRs maintain (or fail to maintain) their body temperature? Our latest work digs deep! #ThermalBiology #Thermogenesis

@bankslab.bsky.social just presented an amazing talk at an IMPC workshop, outlining the long-overdue standardization of metabolic & activity data. At long last, the end of the poisoning of data by poor measurement techniques, equipment & analyses is in sight. Congratulations, Alex & colleagues! 🧪

The world of indirect calorimetry just got better. Our team is nearly ready to launch a new version of CalR. A beta version of CalR2 is available at CalRapp.org. New features include improved visualizations, quality control analysis, statistical power calcs and more. ✔️it out
