Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms to produce energy and substrates that are necessary to sustain life. This course will explore cellular and organismal metabolism with a focus on the relationships between key metabolic pathways and genetic and acquired human diseases. Topics will include diabetes and obesity as well as other diseases of amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid and vitamin cofactor metabolism. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): BMSC 230.3, BMSC 320.3 and CHEM 250.3 Note: Students with credit for BIOC 435 will not receive credit for this course.
