This course will focus on the metabolism of the macronutrients in the body. Students will have a comprehensive understanding of cell reactions at the tissue and organs This course will focus on nutrition as a science that integrates biochemistry from the cellular level through the integration and regulation of metabolism in the whole organism and how it relates to nutritional health.
Objectives

Students will develop an understanding of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism
Students will develop an understanding of regulation of metabolism
Students will be able to explain the metabolism interrelationship between macronutrients.
Students will develop an understanding the biochemistry and metabolism of the macronutrients during different physiological states
Students will develop the ability to analyze and evaluate currents articles/reviews related to the topics of course
