## Abstract

Project Summary – Animal Models Core
The Animal Models Core provides expertise in the use of animal models for nutrition/obesity research; maintains
state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies for the determination of energy balance (food intake, energy
expenditure, activity, and core body temperature); provides state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodology for
the determination of body composition (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [DXA], quantitative magnetic
resonance [QMR], and micro-computed tomography [CT]), cost-efficient services to Core users; and promotes
interactions among investigators and provides training in animal models and phenotyping methods. By executing
these aims, we provide our investigators and the scientific community at large with the expertise and resources
to expand their research areas and produce innovative scientific results with the purpose of enhancing human
health.
