DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): When the Clinical Nutrition Research Unit (CNRU) was first funded in 1979, the only core facility other than the Administrative/Clinical Core was the Analytical Core. The primary function of this core was to develop and validate vitamin-trace mineral assays for the CNRU investigators. With the continuation of the grant in 1984, the Analytical Core was expanded to include amino acid analyses as well as assays for several blood proteins, including retinol binding protein, transferrin, prealbumin, and albumin. In addition, during this period the laboratory developed more sensitive HPLC assays for vitamins, including assays for vitamins A and E, as well as for the vitamers of vitamins B2 and B6. New instrumentation was also added for quantitative amino acid determinations. In addition, because of an increased interest in research involving lipids and lipid peroxidation, we began the process of expanding the laboratory to include quantitative measurements of the lipid components of tissue, cells, and blood. New methods for studying lipid peroxidative injury were also added to the services provided by the core. A growing need for investigations involving amino acid metabolism prompted a stronger collaboration of the Core Laboratory with the Departments of Surgery, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, and Medicine, in particular the Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC). To accommodate all of the needs, the Analytical Core was reorganized once again, and Dr. Larry L. Swift, Department of Pathology, was appointed the Director. The core was subdivided into three areas of specialization: Amino Acid Section, The Lipids/Lipid Peroxidation Section, and the Vitamin/Trace Element Section, with each section directly independently.

描述（根据应用程序改编）：临床营养时 研究部门（CNRU）于1979年首次资助，这是唯一的核心设施 比行政/临床核心是分析核心。主要 该核心的功能是开发和验证维生素痕迹矿物质测定 对于CNRU调查人员。随着1984年赠款的延续， 扩展了分析核心，包括氨基酸分析和测定 对于几种血液蛋白，包括视黄醇结合蛋白，转铁蛋白， prealbumin和白蛋白。此外，在此期间 开发了对维生素更敏感的HPLC分析，包括 维生素A和E，以及维生素B2和B6的维生素。新的 还添加了仪器以确定定量氨基酸。在 此外，由于对涉及脂质的研究的兴趣增加，并且 脂质过氧化，我们开始扩大实验室的过程 定量测量组织，细胞和血液的脂质成分。 还将研究脂质过氧化损伤的新方法添加到 核心提供的服务。涉及的调查需求日益增长 氨基酸代谢促使核心实验室进行了更强的合作 随着手术，分子生理学和生物物理学以及 医学，特别是糖尿病研究与培训中心（DRTC）。到 满足所有需求，分析核心再次重组， 病理学系拉里·斯威夫特（Larry L. Swift）博士被任命为董事。 将核心细分为三个专业领域：氨基酸部分， 脂质/脂质过氧化段和维生素/微量元素部分， 每个部分直接独立。
