Course objectives
The course extends the knowledge of biochemistry acquired in the course Biochemistry I and deals with integration of biochemical processes in human body. The aim is to understand biochemical processes characteristic for individual tissues and organs and principles of their regulation. It focuses on the relationship between health and disease from a biochemical point of view. It points to the links between biochemical principles and other medical subjects such as physiology, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology and others. Special attention is focused on biochemical processes in oral cavity and biochemical aspects of dental tissues.
Learning outcomes
The student is able to explain the interrelationship between the metabolism of nutrients under different states of the organism. Describes the metabolic characteristics of major organs and tissues and major disorders, discusses their association with diseases. Understands and discusses principles of maintaining homeostasis and acid-base balance in the organism, including modeling situations It discusses the composition of body fluids and their disorders in connection with the principles of homeostasis. It explains the principles of metabolism regulation at all levels.
Syllabus
  • Digestion and absorption of lipids. Blood plasma lipids and the major groups of lipoproteins. Metabolism of chylomicrons, VLDL, HDL. --- The integration of intermediary metabolism at the tissue and organ level (after the meal, during starvation, stress, obesity, DM). --- The metabolic functions of the liver. Catabolism of hemoglobin, bilirubin metabolism. Metabolism of iron. --- Biotransformation of xenobiotics, typical reactions, cytochrome P450. Metabolism of ethanol. --- Control of metabolism. Mechanism of hormone and neurotransmitter action. Types of cell membrane receptors, intracellular effects of ligand binding; intracellular receptors. --- Nerve cells. Neurosecretion. The biosynthesis and inactivation of neurotransmitters, neurotransmission across synapses. Cholinergic, adrenergic, and (inhibitory) gabaergic receptors. --- Body water, the movement of water between ECF and ICF, water excretion. Ionic composition of blood plasma, gradients of Na+ and K+ across cell membranes. Osmolality of ECF, regulation of the ECF osmolality and volume, fluid and electrolyte balance. --- Transport of O2 and CO2. Metabolic pathways producing/consumpting H+ ions. Buffer bases of blood, blood plasma (concentrations of components), ICF, the parameters of acid-base status. The role of the lung, the kidney, and the liver in maintaining acid-base balance. --- Normal renal functions. Glomerular filtration. Tubular resorption and secretion. --- Metabolism of calcium, magnesium, phosphates, fluorides, and iodine. Hormones involved in their metabolism. --- The extracellular matrix. Mineralisation of hard tissues, regulation. Composition of bones, dentine, enamel, and cement. --- Saliva and biochemical aspects of oral homeostasis. Plaque formation and metabolism. Influence of nutrition on oral health. --- The major proteins of blood plasma. The blood-coagulation cascade, inhibition of clotting. Fibrinogen, fibrin, fibrinolysis. --- Endothelial cells. Biochemistry of blood cells.
