Vital Signs Monitoring During Surgery & Experiments Requiring Anesthesia

… Prior to sacrifice, at 16 weeks post-XRT, pulse oximetry was performed, as previously described [20], on conscious mice (n=5/group) using a MouseOx non-invasive vital signs monitor (STARR Life Sciences Corp., Oakmont, PA). … Background: Wholegrain flaxseed (FS), and its lignan component (FLC) consisting mainly of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), have potent lung radioprotective properties while […]

… Heart rate, respiratory rate (breaths/min), plethysmography, and oxygen saturation (%) were monitored (via hind leg sensor) and recorded throughout the experiment using a pulse oximeter system (MouseOx, Starr life sciences, Oakmont, PA, USA) (Table 1). To maintain breath … The brain is dependent on glucose as a primary energy substrate, but is capable of […]

… Animals were temporarily anesthetized with 2% isofluorane from a precision vaporizer (Midmark, Versailles, OH) through a nose cone and oxygen saturation was measured in the thigh using a MouseOx oximeter (Starr Life Sciences, Oakmont, PA). … Under steady state conditions, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. However, in mice, stress or tissue hypoxia results […]

… Rectal body temperature was measured by a thermo probe and kept between 36 °C and 38 °C by a heated plate. In eight mice blood O 2 saturation was exemplarily monitored by a sensor in the inguinal region (MouseOx system, Starr Live Sciences Corp., USA). … Investigation and interpretation of defective motor circuitries in […]

… Heart rate and blood oxygen saturation level were recorded using a MouseOx system (STARR Life Science, Oakmont, PA, USA) and maintained within normal physiological ranges. Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Glucose Measurements. … Vascular pathology is a major feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. We recently showed that chronic administration of the target-of-rapamycin […]

… Gould SA, Ballainvilliers, France). The heart rate (HR) and the percutaneous oxygen 141 saturation were continuously measured using the Mouse Ox apparatus (STARR Life Sciences 142 Corporation, Oakmont, PA, USA). Animals … We already showed a widespread heat shock protein (HSP) response to fatigue of a single hindlimb muscle, responsible for a global adaptive […]
