Core--Energy metabolism /Body composition

描述(改编自应用程序)：EMBC核心目前提供 以下研究领域的专门知识、资源和培训：能源 人体的消耗、底物代谢和有氧适应 人体的组成和脂肪分布；能量消耗， 小动物的底物代谢和身体组成；胰岛素敏感性 检测和瘦素及类固醇激素分析 我们为EMBC核心提出了以下主要目标：1.要提供 获得一系列测量能源消耗的技术， 底物代谢、有氧健身、身体成分和脂肪分布 在人体和能量消耗中，底物代谢和身体组成 小动物。2.)提供对胰岛素敏感性资源的访问 在人体上进行测试，包括现场分析胰岛素和血糖水平， 以及数据建模。同样的资源将为瘦素和 类固醇激素分析。3.)加强正在进行的研究，巩固 人力投入，提高研究质量，促进成本效益 在以更低的成本和更高的质量提供实验室服务方面。 4.)支持一个核心设施，作为促进 临床营养与肥胖的多学科研究与培训 横跨UAB校园。5.)为毕业生提供培训、建议和指导 关于具体测量的学生、研究员和调查人员，以及 将研究人员吸引到营养和肥胖相关研究领域。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): The EMBC Core currently provides expertise, resources and training in the following areas of study: energy expenditure, substrate metabolism and aerobic fitness in human subjects; body composition and fat distribution in human subjects; energy expenditure, substrate metabolism and body composition in small animals; insulin sensitivity testing and leptin and steroid hormone analysis We propose the following major objectives for the EMBC Core: 1.) To provide access to a range of techniques for the measurement of energy expenditure, substrate metabolism, aerobic fitness, body composition, and fat distribution in humans and energy expenditure, substrate metabolism and body composition in small animals. 2.)To provide access to a resource for insulin sensitivity testing in humans, including on-site analysis of insulin and glucose levels, and modeling of data. This same resource will provide a resource for leptin and steroid hormone analysis. 3.)To enhance research in progress, consolidate manpower effort, improve research quality, and contribute to cost-effectiveness in terms of providing laboratory services at less cost and higher quality. 4.)To support a Core facility that will act as a platform for promoting multi-disciplinary research and training in clinical nutrition and obesity across the UAB campus. 5.)To offer training, advice and instruction to graduate students, fellows, and investigators on the specific measurements, and to attract investigators to the area of nutrition and obesity-related research.
