Human Energy Metabolism
Human Energy Metabolism covers fundamentals of macronutrient metabolism, including digestion, anabolism, catabolism, disorders like obesity and diabetes, fiber/microbiota effects, and body composition.
Summary
Lectures are small, with a median of 21 enrolled students in the recorded sections.
What you’ll be able to do
Articulate the biochemical pathways that are the foundation of macronutrient anabolism and catabolism, including carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and fiber metabolism.
Articulate the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that regulate macronutrient fate.
Integrate macronutrient biochemistry and physiology across organ systems.
Articulate how disorders of macronutrient metabolism contribute to human disease.
Articulate the basis for macronutrient recommendations across the life span and in disease states.
