Mouse Metabolic Phenotying Centers (MMPC)

WHAT IS IT?

The Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC) is a National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases-Sponsored resource that provides state-of-the-art technologies to investigators for a fee. Their services include characterization of mouse metabolism, blood composition (including hormones), energy balance, eating and exercise, organ function and morphology, physiology and histology.


WHO CAN USE IT?

Scientists who need to do mouse phenotyping tests to study diabetes, obesity, diabetic complications, and other metabolic diseases. Scientists can arrange to ship mice or tissues to the Centers for analysis.


WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS CAN IT ANSWER?

What mammalian phenotypes are associated with specific gene manipulations in mouse models?


WHAT OTHER INFORMATION CAN YOU FIND?

1. What tests are available for metabolic phenotyping live mice?
2. What experimental datasets are relevant to a specific mammalian phenotype(s)?
