Cardiovascular responses to caloric restriction and thermoneutrality in C57BL/6J mice

We utilized variations in caloric availability and ambient temperature (Ta) to examine interrelationships between energy expenditure and cardiovascular function in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice (n=6) were implanted with telemetry devices and housed in metabolic chambers for measurement of mean arterial p...

Description
Summary:We utilized variations in caloric availability and ambient temperature (Ta) to examine interrelationships between energy expenditure and cardiovascular function in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice (n=6) were implanted with telemetry devices and housed in metabolic chambers for measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), O2 consumption (VO2), and locomotor activity.
