Aim and Content
This course is aimed at master¿s students in nutrition, but is also suitable as part of a PhD. The course focuses on how proteins and peptides are constructed, their synthesis and secretion and how they are broken down in the body, as well as the regulation of these processes and their roles in disease.
Learning Outcomes
After completion of the course, the students should be able to show how proteins, peptides and amino acids in the diet can affect human health and disposition to certain diseases. The course will result in a specialisation that can be used in research in the field of protein, peptide and amino acid metabolism
