- 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. It is also an introduction to clinical biochemistry.
- Learning outcomes
- After completing the course, the student is able to:
- explain the interrelationships between the metabolism of nutrients in different states of the organism.
- describe the metabolic characteristics of the main organs and tissues and the main disorders, and discuss their connection with diseases.
- explain the principles of metabolism regulation at all levels.
- understand the principles of maintaining homeostasis in the organism and acid-base balance, including solving model situations.
- discuss the composition of body fluids and their disorders in connection with the principles of homeostasis. - Syllabus
- Blood plasma lipids. Metabolism of lipoproteins.
- Overview of nutrient metabolism in different states.
- Metabolic functions of liver. Catabolism of heme. Biochemical tests for liver diseases.
- Metabolism of iron and copper. Biotransformation of xenobiotics. Metabolism of ethanol.
- Water and Na+, K+ ions balance, osmolality and volume of ECF.
- Acid-base balance. Transport of O2 and CO2. Buffer bases. Parameters of acid-base status.
- Biochemical functions of kidneys. Glomerular filtration. Tubular resorption and secretion.
