Learning outcomes

Good knowledge of cellular metabolism and its regulation

 

Goals

Objectives

The aim of the teaching unit, SMEDB306, is the build upon the knowledge acquired in the teaching unit SMEDB200, to further the students knowledge of cellular metabolism.

 

In SMEDB306, we will cover the following chapters :

 

  • Regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism
  • Amino acid metabolism
  • Nucleotide metabolism
  • Heme metabolism
  • Metabolism of complex lipids ( sphingolipids, sterols and eicosanoids…)
  • Lipid transport

 

 

Content

Teaching unit SMEDB306 completes the study of metabolism begun in teaching units SVETB113 and SMEDB200. The description of the main pathways of intermediary metabolism is accompanied by examples describing various biochemical dysfunctions and their metabolic repercussions.

The teaching unit SMEDB306 contains the following main chapters:

- regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism

- Amino acid metabolism

- nucleotide metabolism

- heme metabolism

- metabolism of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, terpenes, sterols and eicosanoids

- lipoprotein metabolism and lipid transport


 

Teaching methods

The SMEDB306 unit will be taught by Marc Hennequart in the auditorium. There will also be participative learning that will be set up.
