Live Mouse Body Composition Study

Live Mouse Body Composition Study

Live mouse body composition helps study on the mouse model of intrahepatic fat content.

The traditional live mouse body composition study of intrahepatic fat content can use chemical analysis, which is a standard measure of live mouse body composition. There is also bioelectrical impedance method (BIA), dual energy X-ray absorption spectrometry (DEXA), etc. These methods have shortcomings such as large error in measurement results, small scope of application, and easy influence. This application notes introduces the live mouse body composition analysis technology based on low-field NMR technology, which is very suitable for the study of liver fat content in mouse models.

In addition to the mouse model study of intrahepatic fat content, live mouse body composition analysis technology can also be used for the measurement of live mouse body composition and rat in vivo.

The live mouse body composition analyzer can quickly, accurately and quantitatively measure the fat, lean meat and body fluid content of mouse when the small animal is awake and unrestrained, without anesthesia. Without any harm, it simplifies the experiment, saves the experimental cost, and carries out the follow-up study on a single rat or small animal. By monitoring the physiological parameters of mouse for a long time, the effects of various drugs, exercise, external factors and nutrition on the physiological indicators of mouse were investigated.

Fat content of live mouse body compostion tested by NMR

live mouse body composition analysis technology is mainly used for quantitative analysis of metabolism-related components such as fat, lean meat and body fluids, assisting in the screening of active ingredients in drugs, and the research on the etiology and pathogenic mechanism of metabolic diseases.

live mouse body composition analyzer performance characteristics:

Quick test: the test is simple and fast, and the whole test process is within 1min;

The sample does not need pretreatment: the sample does not need to be anesthetized or killed;

Test results: The test results are fat content and muscle content, which are reliable and true, with high stability and good repeatability;

Applicability: Small animals such as live mouse, rat and rabbits can be measured;
