CNU 606 - Molecular Biology Applications in Nutrition

Institution:

University of Kentucky

Subject:

Description:

Focus will be on the use of the most recently developed techniques and model systems in molecular biology for studying nutrient regulation of gene expression. Examples include current problems in nutrition such as models for engineering plants containing more desirable nutrient sources (fats); for studying effects of various nutrients in transgenic mice on tumor suppressor genes and oncogene expression, that are important in cancer prevention; and for studying nutrient effects on genes that modulate obesity. Prereq: BCH 501 and 502 or equivalent; or BCH 401G and consent of instructor. (Same as NS 606.)
