CORE--METABOLIC HUMAN STUDIES--OBESITY

说明：（直接取自应用程序） 代谢研究核心实验室将提供已建立和 研究能量代谢和营养的最新方法 在人类和动物的整个身体水平上进行分配。合并 这些方法在一个单一的核心实验室是必不可少的，因为（a）成本 （B）需要整合身体的措施 组成、能量消耗和营养分配，以及（c）提供 集中的专业知识，以协助研究设计和解释。通过 在这个核心实验室，ONRC的调查人员将得到建议和帮助， 从既定的调查人员在技术的应用， 研究能量代谢和养分分配的相关实验 问题.选择列入这一核心的服务主要是 认为与明尼苏达肥胖中心研究人员的需求相关 和预防肥胖的主题。这个核心也被可视化为 基于流行病学的研究和更基础的调查之间的潜在联系。 希望这一核心的存在将有助于纵向 明尼苏达肥胖中心的肥胖研究整合。

Description: (Taken directly from the application) The Metabolic Studies Core Laboratory will provide access to established and state-of-the-art methods for studying energy metabolism and nutrient partitioning at the whole body level in humans and animals. Consolidations of these methods in a single core laboratory is essential because of (a) the cost of the equipment and (b) the need to integrate the measures of body composition, energy expenditure, and nutrient partitioning and (c) to provide concentrated expertise to assist in study design and interpretation. Through this core laboratory, ONRC investigators will receive advice and assistance from established investigators in the application of the techniques for studying energy metabolism and nutrient partitioning to relevant experimental questions. The services chosen for inclusion in this core were primarily those deemed to be relevant to the needs of Minnesota Obesity Center investigators and the theme of prevention of obesity. This core is also visualized as the potential link between epidemiology based studies and more basic investigation. It is hoped that the presence of this core will assist in the vertical integration of obesity research within the Minnesota Obesity Center.
