Laboratory mice housed in modern vivariums are chronically cold-stressed. Cold-stressed mice exhibit compensatory non-shivering thermogenesis that drives a significant increase in total energy expenditure. In this manuscript, we will describe the visualization andquantification of non-shivering thermogenesis with thermography as a metric of murine cold-stress (Chapter 2). Utilizing thermography to measure cold-stress within the vivarium, we will show mice housed in individually ventilated caging, a popular and important housing system,exhibit significantly greater non-shivering thermogenesis than mice housed in static cages. Xenograft tumors implanted in mice housed in individually ventilated cages have blunted growth and metabolism compar...
