A consensus guide to preclinical indirect calorimetry experiments - Nature Metabolism The authors highlight inconsistencies and divergencies in the literature reporting data on indirect calorimetry for studies on whole-body energy homeostasis, and propose harmonization of standards to facilitate data comparison and interpretation across different datasets.

Towards establishing consensus standards to unify indirect calorimetry experiments and their analysis for more consistent, meaningful and reproducible results-the latest proposals www.nature.com/articles/s42...
