Human Physiology & Nutrition Research Facility for assessment of metabolic status and vascular function

将在南澳大利亚建立一个最先进的人类生理和营养设施，以检查血管和代谢生物标志物。它集成了动态血压和动脉顺应性监测，内皮功能的超声评估和身体成分的DEXA测量，将使：改善心血管和代谢健康的饮食和运动策略的多中心评估；2. 功能性食品和生物活性营养素对代谢和心血管健康的益处3. 早期发育过程中生物标志物的评价及其编程4. 评估技术的进一步发展。它的成立将加强食品工业在营养研究方面的合作。

A state of the art Human Physiology and Nutrition Facility will be established in South Australia to examine vascular and metabolic biomarkers. With integrated ambulatory blood pressure and arterial compliance monitoring, ultrasound evaluation of endothelial function and DEXA measurement of body composition, it will enable: 1. multi-centre evaluation of dietary and exercise strategies to improve cardiovascular and metabolic fitness; 2. substantiation of metabolic and cardiovascular health benefits of functional foods and bioactive nutrients; 3. evaluation of biomarkers and their programming in early development; 4. further development of assessment technology. Its establishment will enhance food industry collaboration in nutrition research.
