1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Integrative care involves using the best possible treatments from both complementary/alternative and allopathic medicine, based on the patient's individual needs and condition. The selection of health care providers should be based on good science and this course will introduce students to complementary and alternative health care providers and the practices and beliefs of these practices as well as the scientific evidence in support of these practices. The course integrates successes from both worlds and describe the safest, least invasive, most cost-effective approach while incorporating a holistic understanding of the individual. May be repeated to a maximum of 3 credits (1 credit didactic and up to two credits experiential/research). (Same as AT 500, HS 500, CLS 500, CD 500, PA 500, PT 686.)
-
2.00 Credits
The course will cover the classification, brief history and the impact of nutraceuticals and functional foods on health and disease. An example of nutraceuticals to be covered in the course include isoprenoids, isoflavones, flavanoids, carotenoids, lycopene, garlic, omega 3 fatty acids, sphingolipids, vitamin E and antioxidants, S-adnosyl-L-methionine, CLA, creatine, herbal products in foods and lipoic acid. Prereq: Undergraduate organic chemistry and/or biochemistry.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will provide an overview of the obesity epidemic from an applied clinical as well as public health perspective. Topics to be covered include etiology, pathophysiology, evaluation, treatment, management, and prevention of obesity throughout the lifecycle.
-
1.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary approach to applied and medical nutrition therapy and its role in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care delivery. Covers the fundamental principles and concepts of nutrition science as applied to the human life cycle. Prereq: Undergraduate senior students planning to enroll or students who are currently enrolled in the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy or Health Sciences. Completion of at least one semester of physiology; one semester of organic chemistry or biochemistry, and preferred, clinical exposure.
-
4.00 Credits
Emphasis will be on macronutrient assimilation and utilization and will include lectures, discussions and student presentations related to energy balance and protein-lipid-carbohydrate metabolism and its relationship to health maintenance. This course integrates biochemistry, physiology and nutrition with regards to macronutrient metabolism. Prereq: NFS 311 and PGY 206 or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as NS 601.)
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis on factors influencing the absorption of fats and fatty acids, distribution and incorporation of fatty acids into body tissues, the biosynthesis of and catabolism of fatty acids, as well as cholesterol, bioactive eicosanoid production and the involvement of fats in the disease process. Lecture and problem-based learning approach with incorporation of student presentations, three hours per week. Prereq: NS/CNU 601, BCH 401G and PGY 412G or consent of instructor. (Same as NS 604.)
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis is directed toward nutrition as applied to prevention of disease through lifestyle management and the application of nutrition in exercise and sport. Targeted focus areas are: body composition and energy expenditure, the metabolic basis of weight management, nutrient needs throughout the lifecycle, the metabolic changes associated with obesity, behavioral management of obesity, nutrient metabolism and exercise, water and electrolyte balance during exercise, nutritional ergogenic aids, nutrition-strength and performance enhancement. Prereq: PGY 412G, and BCH 401G or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as NS/PT 605.)
-
2.00 Credits
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.)
-
3.00 Credits
Theories and mechanisms of immunity will be introduced. The effects of nutrition on immunity will be discussed from experimental and clinical perspectives. A lecture and problem-based learning approach with incorporation of student presentations, three hours per week. Prereq: PGY 412G and CNU 601, or consent of instructor. (Same as NS 608.)
-
1.00 Credits
Students will examine ethical issues in biomedical research using a case-study approach. Representative issues addressed may include data selection and retention, plagiarism, scientific review of grants and manuscripts, scientific misconduct, and informed consent. Prereq: Graduate student status. (Same as CD/CLS/PT/RAS 610.) (Same as NS 609.)
