|
Course contents :
|
| Intermediary metabolism of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and nucleic acids are described, as well as their intrinsic and extrinsic regulations. Metabolism adaptations are also studied at the tissue and organism level. A special chapter deals with the metabolism of the ruminants. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the programme, the students will understand how the metabolism of the organism and the different tissues works. Thus, the students will be ready to understand pathological and clinical biochemistry as well as nutrition courses which are presented in masters. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Chemistry, biology and biochemistry of bachelor years 1 and 2. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Seminars are organized to help students to understand the theory and resolve problems in relation with the theory. They are mandatory. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
