Program Objective

This program is aimed at faculty, fellows and students with an interest in measuring fluxes in complex metabolic networks.  In the morning session, physicians and biochemists from UT Southwestern Medical Center will provide an introduction to 2H and 13C NMR as well as other tracer methods for analysis of metabolic problems.  Examples from biological systems ranging from cell culture to patients will be presented.  The afternoon session will involve guest faculty and will be devoted to current concepts in regulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis and hepatic glucose output.
