Prerequisites: CAS CH373 and SAR HS551.This course provides an in-depth exploration of the biochemical processes that govern human nutrition. Building on foundational knowledge of nutrition and biochemistry, students will examine the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids) and select micronutrients, focusing on their chemical properties, digestion, absorption, distribution, and cellular metabolism. Emphasis will be placed on the regulation and integration of metabolic pathways in various physiological states, as well as the interplay between nutrition, metabolism, health, and disease.
