Gross energy content of fecal samples from mice was analyzed with the calorimeter bomb IKA C5003 (IKA-Werke GMBH & Co. KG, Staufen, Germany) at the Center of PhenoGenomics of the EPFL (Switzerland). Prior to the adiabatic measurement, the samples were dried under a PSM class II hood overnight. The calibration of the machine was performed with 0.5 g of benzoic acid.
