Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | This grant funded equipment to measure simultaneously food intake, activity, and metabolic rate in experimental rodents: a Comprehensive Laboratory Animal Monitoring System (CLAMS). Matching funding for this major item of equipment was contributed by The University of Nottingham, and a local company, RenaSci. It has been used by a large number of different researchers at the University of Nottingham. A major benefit is that by virtue of simultaneously collecting data on multiple physiological and behavioural variables it reduces the number of experimental subjects required. |
| Exploitation Route | Experimental data derived from this equipment has been included in 12 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals between 2005 and 2014. |
| Sectors | Pharmaceuticals and Medical Biotechnology |
