Course objectives: to familiarise students with the metabolic pathways, the conjugated enzyme-catalyzed reactions of the human body that lead to the necessary for its survival energy production and reductive potential. In addition, it focuses on the regulation of the main metabolic pathways, the specialization of the metabolic profiles of main body tissues, and the correlation of basic metabolic processes with the required energy balance and human health status.
After the successful completion of the course, the students will be able:
To define the metabolic processes as anabolic and catabolic.
To understand basic concepts, such as oxidation-reduction, thermodynamically favored reaction and energy charge and their connection with biological functions.
Identify the main metabolic pathways (see course contents) and name the main metabolites and key enzymes
To understand the interdependence of metabolic pathways and to give examples of metabolic regulation and control and finally develop critical and scientific way of thinking.
