REVIEW | A consensus guide to preclinical indirect calorimetry experiments 🧪 @bankslab.bsky.social et al Researchers establish consensus standards for indirect calorimetry experiments

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.

@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! 🧪

🧪#metabosky #calorimetry 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

The plot shows four time series plots. On top is a visualization from the original CalR, with one data point every 60 minutes. Next down is a plot with data every 3 minutes. Next data every 3 minutes but with a rolling mean smoothing fuction. These data look much cleaner. Finally data smoothed every 60 minutes.
