MOLECULAR CONTROL OF METABOLISM AND METABOLIC DISEASE

NUTRSCI 625

Physiology, biochemistry and genetics of human obesity and diabetes. Critical review of current research on their etiology and treatment.

MEDICINE 720

Provides a broad grounding in endocrinology and metabolism with an emphasis on human and human-related disorders wherever possible. Explores further the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which the endocrine regulation of metabolism acts to preserve mammalian health, and how dysfunction in these mechanisms leads to disease, with an emphasis on diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

BIOCHEM/NUTRSCI 619

Principles underlying the control of metabolism as it applies to macronutrients. Discusses advanced aspects of metabolic control. Metabolism of protein and amino acids, fat, and carbohydrate. Discusses fuel sensing and metabolism in disease.

BIOCHEM/NUTRSCI 510

Lectures in nutrition with a substantial background in biochemistry. Emphasis on biochemical and physiological fundamentals of nutrition. Discussion of protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy, minerals and vitamins and their roles and interrelationships in nutrition and metabolism.

BIOCHEM/NUTRSCI 560

Covers basic and applied biochemical principles related to human disease. Topics such as: cancer, including cell cycle regulation, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, and cellular metabolism; metabolic disorders, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes; biotechnology, including metabolomics, CRISPR-based genetic screens, and experimental models of human disease.
