Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to explain teoretical principles of biochemistry and the regulatory mechanisms of basic metabolic pathways. This knowledge is essential for interpretation of physiological and pathological events in human organism. Students are also trained in laboratory classes with respect to master simple biochemical analyses and the ability to interpret the results from laboratory tests.
The student who passes the subject will be equipped with theoretical knowledge on basic biochemical pathways and information on regulation of intermediary metabolism. Student will be able to interpret physiological and pathological events in human organism. In practice, student will be able to work according to good laboratory practice rules and to perform basic biochemical tests and to interpret laboratory results.
