A closed circuit apparatus for measurement of oxygen consumption in small animals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and reliable closed circuit apparatus for short term and long term measurements of oxygen consumption of small laboratory animals is described. Repeat measurements of oxygen consumption under resting conditions of six male albino rats using this apparatus shows a variability of less than 1.5%. Use of the set-up for continuous monitoring of oxygen consumption following subcutaneous injection of norepinephrine, for over 2.5 hr enables the measurement of energy expenditure in animals on a long term basis which is reproducible on several occasions.

UNLABELLED We designed this study to ascertain whether, for the purpose of clinical interpretation, the direct measurement of O(2) consumption with the PhysioFlex closed-circuit anesthesia machine and with the Deltatrac II indirect calorimeter are interchangeable. Oxygen consumption was measured using the two instruments successively in critically-ill, mechanically-ventilated patients. Measurem...
متن کاملA Respiration Chamber for Cattle
Traditional methods for measurement of gas exchange in domestic animals utilize the open-circuit principle in which a known flow of air is drawn past the animal and its change in composition is measured; or the closed-circuit principle in which. carbon dioxide is absorbed and weighed and oxygen is metered into the system. The open-circuit chamber has an exact counterpart in a mask method and th...

Polystyrene multiwell plates with integrated optodes act as multiple closed-system respirometers that enable the simultaneous measurement of oxygen consumption in small animals. However, the diffusion of oxygen through polystyrene needs to be taken into consideration. Here we provide an equation that accounts for the empirically determined rate of oxygen through a polystyrene well when calculat...
