The Animal Resource Laboratory is one of the Alcohol Research Center's Core Laboratories. The long-term goal of this Core is to serve as a central facility through which investigators can obtain well controlled and reproducible animal models, and receive training related to in vivo experimentation. It is envisaged that the Animal Core will enhance experimental productivity in alcohol research by achieving four specific aims: (1) to provide space, technical assistance (both surgical and experimental), equipment, and supplies for pre- an post-operative animal care; (2) to produce a well controlled and reproducible rodent model of chronic alcohol consumption; (3) to train and teach new investigators, students,and technicians the basic surgical and experimental skills required for whole animal research (educational component); and (4) to develop new models, techniques and experimental approaches when needed, and thereby broaden the surgical and experimental procedures available to investigators. The Animal Resource Core will be primarily used for investigators that have a Research Component, Pilot study supported by the Alcohol Research Center and/or a project supported by NIAAA that is related to the overall theme and objectives of the LSUMC Alcohol Research Center. By providing the above mentioned services the Animal Resources Laboratory will be able to substantially lower the expense of the proposed research both in time and money, reduce experimental variability and ensure animal welfare.

动物资源实验室是酒精研究中心之一 核心实验室。 该核心的长期目标是作为 中央设施通过，调查人员可以通过该设施获得良好的控制 和可重现的动物模型，并接受与体内有关的培训 实验。 可以预见，动物核心将增强 通过实现四个特定的酒精研究中的实验生产力 目的：（1）提供空间，技术援助（手术和 实验），设备和术前动物的供应 关心; （2）产生一个控制良好且可重复的啮齿动物模型 长期饮酒； （3）培训和教新调查员， 学生和技术人员的基本手术和实验技能 全动物研究所需（教育部分）； （4）到 在需要时开发新的模型，技术和实验方法， 从而扩大了可用的外科手术和实验程序 致调查员。 动物资源核心将主要用于 具有研究组成部分的研究人员，由 酒精研究中心和/或NIAAA支持的项目 与LSUMC酒精研究的整体主题和目标有关 中心。 通过提供上述服务动物资源 实验室将能够大大降低 拟议的时间和金钱研究，减少实验变异性 并确保动物福利。
