Estimation of activity related energy expenditure and resting metabolic rate in freely moving mice from indirect calorimetry data.

Physical activity (PA) is a main determinant of total energy expenditure (TEE) and has been suggested to play a key role in body weight regulation. However, thus far it has been challenging to determine what part of the expended energy is due to activity in freely moving subjects. We developed a com...
