The Metabolism, Bariatric Surgery and Behavior Core (also referred to as the Animal Phenotyping Core) is directed by Dr. Malcolm Low, Dr. Nathan Qi and Dr. Randy Seeley and performs a variety of in vivo physiological assessments encompassing glucose homeostasis (glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, hyperinsulinemic/euglycemic clamps), energy homeostasis (indirect calorimetry by CLAMS, dietary challenge), ultradian hormone secretion (Culex platform for serial biological fluid sampling from unrestrained mice), behavioral measurements (locomotor activity, meal pattern analysis, operant conditioning) and generation of bariatric surgery models.
Please help us continue our mission to advance the research for mouse models of diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity and related metabolic diseases and conditions by acknowledging our grant number U2CDK110768 in publications resulting from services provided by the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center at Michigan.
