Course objectives
After the succesfull completion of course, students should be able to: - survey theory of contemporary methods of methabolical activity measurements - discuss practical applicability of diverse methods of methabolical measurements on isolated tissues and whole organisms - demonstrate skills necessary for methabolical laboratory praxis.
Syllabus
  • Methods of metabolic studies - general outline.
  • Utilization of stable and radioactive isotopes for metabolic studies.
  • Structure of the atom, types of radioakctive radiation, types of nuclear transformation (natural and artificial), main isotopes used.
  • Methods for manipulation with radioakctive isotopes, hygienic protection.
  • Preparation of isotopes and labelled compounds.
  • Radioactivity measurement (in various types of radiation).
  • Use of RIA isotopes for studies of organ functions.
  • Monitoring of biological volumes and metabolic reserves.
  • Methods for radioimmunoassay (RIA) and other in vitro methods.
  • In vivo methods for study of metabolic processes - conclusions.
