The material covered in CNU/NS 601 consists of three major emphasis areas: (1) review of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein structure, synthesis, absorption, and metabolism, (2) the impact of nutritional influences on macronutrient metabolism to health and disease, (3) the influence of micronutrient metabolism on the regulation of energy balance. The objective of this course is to provide students a strong knowledge base related to macronutrient metabolism in the context of select chronic diseases and energy balance. NS/CNU601 is a core,required course for the Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences program and an elective for some graduate programs at the University of Kentucky.
