Course Details
• Introduction to Metabolic Pathways: An overview of the fundamental concepts of metabolic pathways, their significance, and the role they play in maintaining life.
• Glycolysis: A deep dive into the first stage of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy and precursors for biosynthesis.
• Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle): An exploration of the second stage of cellular respiration, which generates energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
• Oxidative Phosphorylation: A detailed analysis of the third and final stage of cellular respiration, where ATP is synthesized using the energy generated by the electron transport chain.
• Pentose Phosphate Pathway: Understanding the importance of this alternative pathway for glucose metabolism, which generates NADPH, ribose-5-phosphate, and glycolytic intermediates.
• Lipid Metabolism: An examination of the metabolism of lipids, including the breakdown of fatty acids through beta-oxidation and the synthesis of lipids.
• Amino Acid Metabolism: A study of the metabolism of amino acids, including their breakdown for energy production and their role in protein synthesis.
• Nucleotide Metabolism: A comprehensive look at the metabolism of nucleotides, including their synthesis, degradation, and interconversion.
• Metabolic Regulation: An exploration of the mechanisms that regulate metabolic pathways, ensuring that energy production and utilization are balanced.
• Metabolic Disorders: An overview of the various metabolic disorders that can occur when there are defects in metabolic pathways, including diabetes, obesity, and inborn errors of metabolism.
