Drosophila Metabolism Analysis Service Based on Respirometry and Feeding Assays

STEMart offers a comprehensive Drosophila Metabolism Analysis Service using respirometry and feeding assays to evaluate metabolic rates and nutritional intake in fruit fly models. These advanced techniques allow for precise measurement of energy consumption, CO2 production, and feeding behavior, providing valuable insights into how genetic, environmental, and pharmacological factors influence metabolism. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art metabolic monitoring systems, enabling us to deliver accurate, high-throughput metabolic analysis for a wide range of research applications.

Respirometry measures the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production of Drosophila, providing a direct assessment of metabolic activity. This technique is widely applied in studies related to energy metabolism, obesity, aging, and mitochondrial function. Feeding assays complement these measurements by tracking the quantity and frequency of food intake, helping researchers understand the relationship between nutrition, genetics, and metabolic health. Together, these approaches provide a detailed picture of metabolic processes in Drosophila models.

Leveraging our expertise in metabolism and Drosophila research, we offer a variety of services designed to support investigations into metabolic disorders, energy regulation, and the effects of dietary interventions. Whether you are exploring the genetic basis of metabolic diseases or testing the impact of nutritional supplements, our services deliver precise, data-driven insights for your research.
