Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
Passed ”BMB502, Enzymes and membranes”. BMB503, Knowledge of BMB503 Fundamental biochemistry.
) is a prerequisite to follow the final 5 ECTS points (4th quarter).
Course introduction
The course aims to give an understanding of metabolic pathways in mammalian cells and their regulation at a molecular level. Participants will gain insights into signal transduction pathways incl. hormones, growth factors, receptors, kinases, calcium and transcription factors.
Qualifications
The students will:
• get detailed an understanding of cellular processes and the regulation on a molecular level
• understand the background for the development of various metabolic diseases
• be able to collect, form, understand, and interpret results and hence understand the theoretical background • be able to give a written presentation of own observations and interpretations
• be able to orally present review articles
Expected learning outcome
Subject overview
1. Regulation of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis/TCA
2. Lipidabsorption, transport and lipoproteins
3. Fatty acid degradation
4. Fatty acid synthesis
5. Compleks lipidsynthesis
6. Amino acid metabolism
7. Synthesis and degradation of nucleotides
8. Signal transduction
9. Regulation of metabolism incl. glucose-fatty acid cycle
10. Integration of metabolism
11. Glucocorticoids/steroid hormone receptors
12. Ca++-signalling
