Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

In Nutrition Biochemistry courses where the chemical reactions occurring in living organisms are studied; the metabolic events in which the biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates and lipids take place and their interactions with each other will be explained to the students.
It is also aimed to gain the competencies related to metabolism, to establish some relationships with biochemistry in the professional field and to gain the ability to evaluate them as a whole.

Course Content:

Relationships between nutritional elements and metabolic events; normal and pathological conditions
