Examines advanced and current topics in vascular physiology, with a focus on cell structure and signal transduction pathways related angiogenesis, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Current research methodology and the relevance of vascular physiology to human health will be considered. Tutorial sessions apply course concepts through problem-based learning and literature analysis. Prerequisite: BPK 305. Students who have taken BPK 420 Advanced Topics in Vascular Physiology may not take this course for further credit.
