CORE--HORMONE

荷尔蒙核心将提供成熟的和最先进的方法 测量荷尔蒙和骨转换的生化标志物。这些 测量将在梅奥基金会免疫化学核心进行 实验室(Mayo ICL)，这是一个专门的实验室，提供 用于临床和基础研究的专用免疫化学检测 通过梅奥基金会。ICL实验室提供了大部分 支持梅奥综合临床研究中心(GCRC)的测试。这个 荷尔蒙核心的专业知识和设备的可用性 这项赠款提案中所需的分析的性能对于 进行拟议的研究。

The Hormone Core will provide established and state-of-the-art methods for measuring hormones and biochemical markers of bone turnover. These measurements will be done in the Mayo Foundation Immunochemical Core Laboratory (Mayo ICL), which is a specialized laboratory which provides dedicated immunochemical testing for both clinical and basic research through Mayo Foundation. The ICL laboratory provides the majority of the tests to support Mayo's General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). The availability of the expertise and equipment in the Hormone Core for the performance of the assays needed in this grant proposal is critical to the conduct of the proposed studies.
