Energy and Macronutrient Metabolism

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide a foundation in the chemistry and metabolism of the macronutrients. Building on a knowledge base in biochemistry, physiology, and nutrition, this course will focus on the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, and the integration of these metabolic pathways. The course provides the student with a sufficient application of biochemical processes, cellular molecules and their metabolism to serve as a basis for an advanced study of nutrition.
