Biochemistry of Metabolism Target Audience Those wishing to pursue postgraduate courses and careers in Biomedical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Nutrition, Dietetics and other Health Professions Overview This course begins with a basic overview of essential chemistry to provide the necessary underpinning for the study of biochemistry and metabolism. Students will consider key concepts including: organic and inorganic chemistry, oxidation and reduction, acids and buffers, free radicals, biological molecules and enzymes. Content Students will then build up their understanding of metabolic pathways by learning to identify and describe core concepts such as the function of vitamins as coenzymes in metabolism. This is followed by an overview of protein, fat, carbohydrate and alcohol metabolism with an emphasis on the metabolic integration of these macronutrients. The regulation of metabolic pathways will be considered in the response of metabolism to fed and fasting states, starvation and physical exercise. Examples of the metabolic dysfunction in disease will also be studied. Key Areas Protein metabolism Fat metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism Alcohol metabolism Course Duration: 3 Days (9:30am -4:30pm) Course Date: dependent on demand Course Fee: tbc
