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.
