This course covers the topics of metabolism, regulation, and metabolic disorders. The learning outcomes include understanding carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, as well as cholesterol metabolism and related disorders. Students will also learn about metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and kidney homeostatic functions. The course teaches about the endocrine system, digestive system, and various imbalances such as hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, and hyperkalemia. The teaching method includes animated overviews of different metabolic processes and disorders. This course is intended for individuals interested in gaining knowledge about metabolism, metabolic disorders, and related physiological processes.
