Upon completion of this
course, students will be able to explain the fundamental principles of
biochemistry as they relate to human nutrition, including the metabolism of
macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) and micronutrients
(vitamins and minerals). They will be able to describe the processes of
nutrient digestion, absorption, and utilization, discuss the regulatory roles
of enzymes and hormones, and relate biochemical mechanisms to human health.
This course provides a solid foundation for advanced study in nutritional
biochemistry and related health sciences.
