- Course objectives
- The course extends the knowledge of biochemistry acquired in the course Biochemistry I and deals with the integration of biochemical processes in the 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 will be able to:
- explain the interrelationship between the metabolism of nutrients under different states of the organism.
- describe the metabolic characteristics of major organs and tissues and major disorders, discusses their association with diseases.
- understand and discuss principles of maintaining homeostasis and acid-base balance in the organism, including modeling situations
- discuss the composition of body fluids and their disorders in connection with the principles of homeostasis.
- explain the principles of metabolism regulation at all levels. - Syllabus
- Blood plasma lipids. Lipoprotein metabolism.
- Integration of intermediary metabolism at tissue and organ level under various conditions.
- Metabolic functions of liver. Catabolism of haemoglobin. Metabolism of iron.
- Biotransformation of xenobiotics, cytochromes P450. Metabolism of ethanol.
- Homeostasis of water and Na+, K+ ions, plasma osmolality, volemia.
- Acid-base balance. Transport of O2 and CO2. Buffer bases, parameters of acid-base status.
- Biochemical functions of kidney. Glomerular filtration. Tubular resorption and secretion.
- Control of metabolism. Common mechanisms of action of signal molecules.
