Building upon foundational knowledge, this course delves deeper into the intricate biochemical processes that underpin human nutrition. The course offers a comprehensive exploration of the metabolism and biochemistry of macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) and select micronutrients. Chemical properties, digestion, absorption, distribution, and cellular metabolism are covered with an emphasis on the regulation and integration of metabolic pathways. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Explore the chemical structures and biological roles of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and specific micronutrients; 2. Understand how the digestion, absorption, transport, and utilization of macronutrients impact biochemical and physiological processes in metabolism; 3. Follow the process of converting dietary components into chemical energy within cells; 4. Analyze how macronutrient metabolic pathways are integrated and regulated in both fasting and fed states; 5. Investigate how macronutrient metabolism affects cellular functions, tissue balance, interactions between organs, and the overall functioning of the body; 6. Examine the critical links between nutrition, metabolism, and their effects on health and specific disease states. Required Skills: • Graduate degree in Nutrition or a closely related field required; PhD preferred • Prior experience with college-level course instruction required; prior graduate-level instruction preferred Applicants should not apply through the BU HR website.
