Abstract

CORE A: Energy Metabolism / Body CompositionOBJECTIVESWe propose the following major objectives for the EMBC Core:1. To provide access to a range of techniques for the measurement of energy expenditure, substratemetabolism, aerobic fitness, body composition, and fat distribution in humans and energyexpenditure, substrate metabolism and body composition in small animals.2. To provide access to a resource for insulin sensitivity testing in humans, including on-site analysisof insulin and glucose levels, and modeling of data. This same resource will provide a resourcefor leptin and steroid hormone analysis.3. To enhance research in progress, consolidate manpower effort, improve research quality, andcontribute to cost-effectiveness in terms of providing laboratory services at less cost and higherquality.4. To support a Core facility that will act as a platform for promoting multi-disciplinary research andtraining in clinical nutrition and obesity across the UAB campus.5. To offer training, advice and instruction to graduate students, fellows, and investigators on thespecific measurements, and to attract investigators to the area of nutrition and obesity-relatedresearch.
