IHP 551 - Metabolism and Skeletal Muscle

Description:
Application of physiological principles to regulation, control, and adaptation of of skeletal muscle and cellular metabolic processes to acute and chronic internal and external stimuli including physical activity, metabolic and musculoskeletal diseases, obesity, nutritional strategies, and aging. Formerly EXSC 551, students may not receive credit for both.

Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: admission to the NEHS MS, IHP or Nutrition graduate program or permission of the instructor.

Credits:
(5)

Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Apply knowledge of metabolism, skeletal muscle structure and function, and regulatory processes to stimuli such as disease, aging, physical activity, environmental factors, pharmacological agents, and obesity.
Analyze and apply scientific literature and effectively communicate knowledge to their immediate peers.
