Summary
This study compared an ambient heated chamber, a heating pad, and no warming during isoflurane induction in C57BL/6 and nude mice. Unheated mice lost about 2.8 °C during induction, while both warming methods maintained temperature; strain and sex also influenced temperature, activity, and recovery. UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips and a URH-1HP reader tracked body temperature and home-cage activity before and after anesthesia.
