Mice Body Composition Analysis
Traditional mice body composition analysis techniques include chemical analysis, which is the gold standard for measuring mice body composition. Mice body composition analysis techniques also include bioelectrical impedance (BIA), dual energy X-ray absorption spectrometry (DEXA), etc. These methods have the disadvantages of large error in measurement results, small scope of application, and susceptibility to influence.
Through MRI, fat distribution was directly observed, and the content distribution was calculated by image gray value and pixel ratio.
Mice body composition analysis technology introduced in this article is based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance analysis technology, which is very suitable for the body composition analysis of small living animals.
Mice body composition analysis technology is to quickly, accurately and quantitatively measure the fat, lean meat and body fluid content of mice in an awake and unrestrained state. It does not require anesthesia and can be tested directly. The process is convenient and simple, and it is suitable for mice or small animals. There is no harm to animals, simplifies experiments, saves experimental costs, and can conduct long-term follow-up studies on a single mouse or small animal. By monitoring the physiological parameters of small animals for a long time, the effects of various drugs, exercise, external factors and nutrition on the physiological indicators of mice are investigated.
Mice body composition analysis technology is mainly used for quantitative analysis of fat, lean meat and body fluid components related to metabolism, assisting in the screening of active ingredients in drugs and research on the etiology and pathogenic mechanism of metabolic diseases.
