- DRTC: Vanderbilt DRTC Investigators by Research Area
The investigators in this research area conduct
in vivo metabolic studies in mice, rats, dogs, or man that focus on
muscle, liver, and fat metabolism. While some studies focus on
metabolism related to one organ or tissue type in vivo, this group
is increasingly involved in integrative physiology research. For
example, some investigators are studying the role of the CNS in
peripheral glucose and lipoprotein metabolism while others are
using sophisticated in vivo techniques to assess the influence of
hormones, substrates, neural input, and other as yet unidentified
signals on both organ metabolism (such as liver) as well as
integrated whole body metabolism. A consider able amount of this in
vivo research, particularly in diabetes and obesity, is being
conducted in human subjects on the Vanderbilt General Clinical
Research Center (GCRC).
