METABOLIC & BODY COMPOSITION CORE:

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 客观化 总体目标是发展基础设施、设备和专业知识，以了解糖尿病、肥胖症、高胆固醇血症等代谢性疾病的发病机制和治疗以及内分泌调节机制。 这一核心的具体目标是： 1.通过实验室提供对人体身体成分评估设施和设备的集中访问； 2.提高目前从事代谢研究的DREW研究人员的研究能力和竞争力；以及 3.促进招聘具有最先进的代谢和身体成分方法学专长的研究人员，并致力于糖尿病和代谢研究。 4.增加糖尿病和代谢紊乱领域与改善妇女、族裔/种族少数群体和其他弱势群体保健有关的知识和研究活动(赠款提交和采购、专题介绍和出版物)。 这个核心的成员将继续独立研究并申请赠款，以帮助扩大产能。身体成分和代谢核心将：1)进行独立研究；2)提供营养咨询和评估；3)提供人体测量；4)提供生物电阻抗；5)提供DEXA扫描；6)通过MRI扫描提供肌肉大小评估；8)通过MRI测量腹部脂肪；以及9)测量卡路里消耗和活动。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. OBJECTIVE The overall objective is to develop the infrastructure, equipment and expertise to understand the pathogenesis and treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia and endocrine regulatory mechanisms. The specific aims of this Core are to: 1. Provide centralized access via a laboratory to facilities and equipment for body composition assessment in humans; 2. Enhance research capabilities and competitiveness of Drew investigators currently engaged in metabolic research; and 3. Facilitate recruitment of investigators with expertise in state-of-the art metabolic and body composition methodology, as well as a commitment to diabetes and metabolic research. 4. Increase the body of knowledge and research activity (grant submissions and procurement, presentations and publications) in the area of diabetes and metabolic disorders as related to improving the health care of women, ethnic/racial minorities and other disadvantaged populations. Members of this Core will continue independent research and apply for grants to help expand capacity. The Body Composition and Metabolic Core will: 1) conduct independent research; 2) provide nutritional counseling and assessment; 3) provide anthropometry; 4) provide bioelectrical impedance; 5) provide DEXA scans; 6) provide muscle size assessment by MRI scan; 8) provide measurement of abdominal fat by MRI; and 9) measure caloric expenditures and activity.
