Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 3.15 GPA, 23.1% A/AB (n=13 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.21 GPA, 28.6% A/AB (n=7 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.44 GPA, 66.7% A/AB (n=9 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Describe regulatory mechanisms at the organ, cellular and biochemical level controlling intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins

  • Identify regulatory points in metabolic pathways and explain how they may change with metabolic state

  • Detail the changes and mechanisms underlying such changes in protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism in changing physiological state and also in health vs disease state

  • Evaluate modern experimental approaches for studying metabolism
