Energy expenditure and fuel oxidation were assessed using the Oxymax CLAMS (Columbus Instruments). Mice were acclimated in individual chambers for 1 day before data recording. Measurements of in vivo oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were performed every 14 min over 2 days and used to calculate the respiratory exchange ratio (RER). Food intake was monitored during the procedure.
