Zhejiang, the first "metabolic chamber" in China's nutrition industry, was completed It can continuously monitor metabolic parameters

Hangzhou, Nov.
18 -- Recently, the Hangzhou Advanced Research Institute of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the "Hangzhou Higher Institute of the Chinese University of Science and Technology") launched a human nutrition and metabolism research platform
based on a variety of international cutting-edge technologies and focusing on multi-dimensional precision nutrition and health assessment interventions.

With the simultaneous completion of the platform's core equipment "Human Metabolism Monitoring System", this also means that the first metabolic chamber of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been launched, and opened a precedent
for the use of metabolic chambers to study human energy metabolism in the field of nutrition research in China.

It is reported that in addition to the metabolic chamber, the human nutrition and metabolism research platform also integrates multiple modules such as multi-dimensional phenotypic data and sample collection, multi-dimensional omics and imaging detection and analysis, intelligent wearable technology, metabolic homeostasis assessment, nutrition knowledge map and intervention decision tree, and uses new thinking and new strategies to create an intelligent closed loop of nutrition and health management that accurately evaluates, predicts and intervenes
.

The launch of this platform marks that the precision nutrition research of the Hangzhou High School of the National University of Science and Technology will enter a new stage
.

It is understood that the metabolic chamber is internationally recognized as the gold standard
for measuring human energy metabolism.
The metabolic chamber completed by the Hangzhou High School of National Science and Technology University uses today's international advanced technology, which has the advantages of precision, accuracy, comfort, simplicity and safety (can be used for children & the elderly), and can continuously monitor almost all metabolic parameters
.
It can accurately measure the contribution of carbohydrates, fats and proteins to total energy and metabolic efficiency of different individuals at rest and during exercise, as well as the main factors
affecting the balance of energy metabolism.
Therefore, providing the best macronutrient recommendations according to different individual needs is an important tool
for preventing and intervening metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Lin Xu, chief professor of the School of Life and Health Sciences of Hangzhou High School of National University of Science and Technology, said that the human nutrition and metabolism research platform will become an important research platform for the construction of the Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Systematic Health Sciences, which will lay a solid foundation for China's nutrition and health science to achieve research results comparable to the international frontier, and provide important support
for improving the nutritional health and disease prevention level of Chinese residents.

Zheng Chonghui, member of the Party Committee and executive vice president of the Hangzhou High School of the National University of Science and Technology, pointed out: "In the future, the Hangzhou High School of the National University of Science and Technology will continue to give full play to the talent, technical and resource advantages in the field of nutrition and health sciences, and strive to achieve a number of original, innovative and leading scientific research achievements
in the field of nutrition and health.
