Metabolism & Nutrition

Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Their prevalence is increasing throughout the world, and these metabolic diseases are recognised as the fifth leading cause of death by the WHO. Bioseb develops equipments for monitoring metabolic parameters and food/drink consumption in rodents, primarily mice and rats. This enables researchers to analyze obesity, eating disorders, and energy balance under various experimental conditions. Read more >

Description

Renowned within the international research community, Bioseb's instruments have been extensively featured in peer-reviewed studies focused on metabolic disorders and nutritional research. Our tools are integral to understanding food and drink intake, energy balance, and metabolic functions. Below are key examples of research leveraging Bioseb's innovative solutions.

Bioseb’s comprehensive range of metabolic research instruments allows for detailed monitoring of energy expenditure, feeding behavior, and drinking patterns in rodents. These sophisticated systems capture subtle changes in metabolic parameters and nutrient intake, enabling researchers to dissect the underlying mechanisms of obesity, metabolic syndrome, eating disorders, and interventions aimed at regulating energy balance. Whether quantifying respiratory exchange, analyzing nutrient absorption, or correlating intake with activity, our solutions deliver reliable, reproducible, and automated data to drive impactful metabolic research.

FAQ

1. Which species can be tested with these metabolic instruments?

Our metabolic research tools are primarily designed for rodent models, particularly mice and rats. Certain configurations may be adaptable for other small laboratory animals. For specific requirements, please contact our support team.

2. How does the OXYLET-Indirect Calorimeter system work?

The OXYLET-Indirect Calorimeter (Physiocage System) measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, integrating these parameters with feeding and activity data. By continuously monitoring the animal’s respiratory exchange, it provides a comprehensive metabolic profile and insights into energy expenditure and nutrient utilization.

3. Can the PheComp Platform measure both feeding and activity simultaneously?

Yes. The PheComp Platform is specifically designed to track both food/liquid consumption and motor activity patterns, correlating intake with behavioral changes to offer a holistic view of the animal’s metabolic and activity profiles.

4. How many animals can I monitor simultaneously using the Metabolic Monitor System?

The Metabolic Monitor System can accommodate up to 16 animals simultaneously, making it ideal for larger studies or laboratories seeking high-throughput data collection without compromising accuracy.

5. What parameters can the CO2 and O2 Respiratory Gas Analyzer and End-tidal O2 and CO2 Monitor measure?

These analyzers provide fast, reliable measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations. The CO2 and O2 Respiratory Gas Analyzer focuses on ambient gas concentrations in metabolic chambers, while the End-tidal O2 and CO2 Monitor measures respiratory parameters at the animal’s airway, reflecting immediate metabolic responses.

6. Can I integrate the metabolic data from these instruments with other physiological or behavioral data sets?

Absolutely. Data from our systems can be exported in widely compatible formats. This allows seamless integration with other measurements (e.g., body composition, hormonal assays, imaging studies), enabling comprehensive metabolic and physiological analyses.

7. Are these systems suitable for long-term experiments?

The instruments are designed for durability, stability, and minimal animal disturbance. They are suited for longitudinal studies assessing chronic dietary interventions, obesity models, or long-term pharmacological treatments, but individual housing could be stressful. For long-term experiments the approval in advance by the relevant regulatory authorities within the laboratory is required.

8. What type of support and training does Bioseb provide?

Bioseb offers personalized technical support and training services, adapted to the specific needs of each instrument. Assistance may include installation guidance, hardware and software training, or protocol optimization, depending on the equipment’s complexity.
