Abstract excerpt
Regulation of whole-body metabolism and energy homeostasis has been shown to require signaling between multiple organs. To identify genetic programs that determine metabolic rate, and compounds that can modify it, a whole-animal assay amenable to large-scale screening was developed. The direct correlation of acid production with metabolic rate was exploited to use a noninvasive colorimetric assay for acid...
