This advanced module focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of human metabolism, as well as the pathogenesis of selected metabolic disorders.
Specific sections will be concerned with:
• The major macro and micro nutrients, and the bodies physiological response to their intake, • The biochemical and cellular regulators of food intake and bodyweight, • The diagnosis of metabolic disease and pathobiochemical aspects of major metabolic disease will be examined, including Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
The current therapeutic strategies for treating metabolic diseases including lifestyle modification, GLP-1 analogues and bariatric surgery. Discussing the impact each has on the biochemistry and physiology of food intake and the cellular regulators of metabolism.
