Timetable
There is no timetable available for the chosen semester.

Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
Passed BMB502 Enzymes and membranes. BMB503, Knowledge of BMB503 Fundamental biochemistry. Pass of practical exercise/obligatory assignment for the first 5 ECTS points (3rd quarter) 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 metabolic and signaling pathways that regulate glucose-, lipid- and amino acid metabolism.

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. Signal transduction
8. Regulation of metabolism incl. glucose-fatty acid cycle
9. Integration of metabolism

The glucose-fatty acid cycle as well as integration of metabolism will be illustrated via a practical exercise/obligatory assignment
