This course covers the basic principles of metabolism and regulation of metabolic pathways in humans, with emphasis on integration and nutritional relevance. This provides a basic knowledge of fuel supply and metabolism in the major organs of the body (liver, adipose tissue, skeletal and cardiac muscle, brain, kidney, red blood cells) and of the major metabolic hormones and their role in the regulation of metabolism. Further this course illustrates the integration of metabolism in specific situations (starvation, exercise, obesity, diabetes). This course is essential for any Nutrition course as it develops understanding of the handling of energy from food in the body and the adaptation of the body’s metabolic pathways to variation in of nutrients. This course covers concepts in metabolism and outlines of key metabolic pathways, metabolic regulation in specific tissues, integration of metabolism, diabetes, metabolism during starvation and exercise, and inborn errors of metabolism.
