Cardiometabolic Core

心脏代谢核心（核心B）总结 心脏代谢核心（核心B）将允许仔细规划和协调研究设计， 疾病模型，以及四个研究项目之间的数据收集。核心将用于感应， 维持和分析大鼠和小鼠的心脏代谢疾病。核心B将是一个新建立的 设施住房的设备和人员的标准化措施，在拟议的研究项目。 核心B的具体功能分为三个目标。目标1将采用标准化的动物饲料， 在所有四个项目中收集标本。它将确保喂养，监测和组织收集 在所有项目中保持一致，并将建立一个供杜兰大学和校外研究人员使用的组织库。目的 2将在所有四个项目中采用标准化的代谢测量， 条件和测量。目标3将在所有四个领域采用标准化的心血管测量方法 这些项目旨在确保心血管疾病在大鼠和小鼠中得到平等的实施。这种协调， 这些项目将通过允许研究之间的推论来改善研究的范围， 如果每个项目都引入了新的变量。此外，核心B将维护标准化协议， 程序，以允许跨研究的数据比较，从而将提高严谨性和再现性。

Cardiometabolic Core (Core B) Summary The Cardiometabolic Core (Core B) will allow for the careful planning and coordination of research designs, disease models, and data collection among the four Research Projects. The Core will be utilized for the induction, maintenance, and analysis of cardiometabolic diseases in rats and mice. Core B will be a newly established facility housing the equipment and personnel for standardized measures in the proposed Research Projects. The specific functions of Core B are organized into three Aims. Aim 1 will employ standardized animal diets and specimen collection across all four projects. It will ensure that feeding, monitoring, and tissue collection are consistent across projects and will establish a tissue bank available to Tulane and extramural researchers. Aim 2 will employ standardized metabolic measurements across all four projects to provide the same metabolic conditions and measurements. Aim 3 will employ standardized cardiovascular measurements across all four projects to ensure that cardiovascular disease is implemented equally in rats and mice. This coordination among the projects will improve the scope of the research by allowing inferences between studies that could not be made if each project introduced new variables. In addition, Core B will maintain standardized protocols and procedures to allow comparison of data across studies and thereby will improve rigor and reproducibility.
