Test No.Y4011
Test Price$9.50
DescriptionMice undergo body composition measurements using proton NMR. This technique
measures the resonance frequency of protons in the mouse and returns a value
that corresponds directly to protons in triglyceride (whole body fat mass) and a
value that corresponds to protons in body water, from which a calculation of
lean mass (including muscle, liver, kidney, brain, etc…) is made based on
reference standards. Therefore, the numbers you receive correspond to whole-body
fat (not a specific fat pad).
