Clinical Chemistry II

Catalog description

This clinical chemistry course explores the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, with emphasis on the intersection of metabolic pathways and mechanisms of energy production and utilization. Students will study the structure, function, and clinical relevance of proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, non-protein nitrogen bases, electrolytes, and hormones, and examine how alterations in these biomolecules relate to disease states.
