Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course examines the effects of dietary foods on the human microbiota. The effects of nutrition in the early and late stages of life on the number and proportion of microorganisms in the microbiota, the mechanisms of these effects at the molecular level and their contribution to human health are described. In this course, the use of different dietary approaches for therapeutic purposes, microbiota - intestinal - nervous system relationship summarizes the connection of this relationship with various human diseases.
Course Content: The content of this course dec the concept of microbiota, the properties and functions of microbiota, the functional and molecular interaction between diet and microbiota, and the relationship of this interaction with human health and disease conditions.
