|
Learning unit contents :
|
||||||||
| This course includes the following chapters: bioenergetics and metabolism(organization and regulation of the metabolic ways), glycolysis and hexoses catabolism connected glucose and sugars, aerobic and anaerobic conditions, production of lactate....), citric acid cycle(citrate and respiratory chain of transport of electrons, components of the cycle of citrate and ways biosynthetic...), oxidative phosphorylation, biosynthesis of carbohydrates and gluconeogenesis (metabolism of glycogen, regulation of the metabolism of the carbohydrates....), biosynthesis of lipids, biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleotides (desamination, ion ammonium and cycle of urea, catabolism....).
In addition, the pathways and networks underlying biological functions e.g. immunological interactions, and the metabolic background of health disorders will be illustrated. |
