Abstract
Four projects conducted at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) are reported herein. A clinical research laboratory is operational and supports U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) field research in sites ranging from Alaska to Bolivia. A stable isotope laboratory supports USARIEM research by determining energy expenditure in the field. The Diet, Neurotransmitters and Behavior research team conducts basic research in the effect of diet on behavior through biochemical, physiologic, and behavioral assessment studies. New studies assessing sleep deprivation and-approaches to modifying this stress through dietary manipulation are being initiated. The Menu Modification Project has analyzed and latered two sets of Army menus. The Fort Polk Heart Smart Project, completed in 1991, is described elsewhere....
