Development of an Assay for High-Throughput Energy Expenditure Monitoring in the Zebrafish

Abstract excerpt

Energy homeostasis is maintained by balancing energy intake and expenditure. Many signals regulating energy intake are conserved between the human and teleost. However, before this work, there was no sensitive high-throughput system to monitor energy expenditure in the teleost. We exploit the nonfluorescent and fluorescent properties of resazurin and its reduced form resorufin (alamarBlue(®)) to monitor energy...
