Funded Activity Summary
Human Physiology & Nutrition Research Facility for assessment of metabolic status and vascular function. A state of the art Human Physiology and Nutrition Facility will be established in South Australia to examine vascular and metabolic biomarkers. With integrated ambulatory blood pressure and arterial compliance monitoring, ultrasound evaluation of endothelial function and DEXA measurement of body composition, it will enable: 1. multi-centre evaluation of dietary and exercise strategies to improve cardiovascular and metabolic fitness; 2. substantiation of metabolic and cardiovascular health benefits of functional foods and bioactive nutrients; 3. evaluation of biomarkers and their programming in early development; 4. further development of assessment technology. Its establishment will enhance food industry collaboration in nutrition research.Funded Activity Details
