Mouse models of obesity and diabetes
contribute greatly to a better understanding of how environmental and
genetic factors affect metabolism. The Mouse Metabolism Core Laboratory provides support to NIDDK’s intramural investigators by characterizing and analyzing phenotypes of metabolic disease in genetically modified mice. Specific
services include the analysis of body composition, body temperature,
food intake, energy expenditure, fatty acid oxidation, insulin
sensitivity, and insulin secretion.
