Coordinated Services for Metabolism Research (CSMR)

Overview of Services

Coordinated Services for Metabolism Research (CSMR) features CLAMS and Oxymax open-flow indirect calorimeters, and associated or additional services to measure food and fluid intake, physical activity, glucose homeostasis and behavioral outcomes, in a 600-square-foot laboratory with ventilated housing for mice. CSMR also offers indirect calorimetry during treadmill exercise, or with alternative ambient temperatures and photoperiods.

The service core is managed by Susan Aja, Ph.D., who provides project management, conducts studies, provides expertise for in vivo approaches to metabolism and obesity research, and refers researchers to CSMR and other facilities and personnel with appropriate equipment and expertise to support metabolic research. CSMR has been supporting projects in energy balance and metabolism since 2008.
