This course provides an introduction to metabolism at the molecular level. The content will be presented in the context of the normal, exercise and disease states. Applications and examples are drawn from current research areas with an emphasis on the metabolic syndrome. The course will build on and extend knowledge gained in the second level course BIOC2000 and will include the modern discipline areas of metabolomics and nutrigenomics. Core topics include aspects of carbohydrate, lipid, protein and amino acid metabolism built around the theme of obesity and the metabolic syndrome as an exemplar of the application of modern knowledge gained through our understanding of the genome and metabolome. The course will show how knowledge from these disciplines aids in our understanding of this health problem affecting many world-wide. The course is designed for those students who are interested or planning careers in the biomedical area, including health science, exercise science, nutrition/dietetics, food science and the biological sciences more broadly.
Cells can only function if energy is available to them. An important part of metabolism is understanding the pathways by which the cell obtains energy (bioenergetics) and how nutrients are interconverted to generate energy or the building blocks for our own body constituents. This course covers the main metabolic pathways that are associated with carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism in cells and tissues. The pathways interact and are integrated so that we can store energy in times of plenty and use energy from stores when there is no food available. We will focus on the hormones that contribute to this integration. Not only hormones but also the gut microbiota contribute to the regulation of metabolism and we look at the interactions between the host and microbiota. We then use this knowledge to understand how metabolism is altered in common conditions such as obesity, diabetes and liver disease as well as in pregnancy.
The course will be presented primarily as lectures supplemented by tutorialﾠs and workshops (including computer-based practicals) and a short series of laboratory practicals focused on metabolic research.

Aims and outcomes
This course provides an advanced understanding of metabolic processes and their regulation at systems, cellular and molecular levels. The focus is on placing core metabolic principles and knowledge in the context of lifestyle diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome. We consider the question "why is this such a prominent health problem?". This is an exceptionally complex question that forms an excellent focus for lectures, discussion groups and laboratory-based activities. The course also aims to introduce students to modern metabolic research methods in microbiome analysis.

Task description
This assessment item has two components:
- An assessment of completion of the first computer practical session (Pass/Fail).
- An assessment of the computer practical report which is based on the analyses performed in the computer practical sessions.
High throughput DNA sequencing is a common method to analyse the bacterial community making up the gut microbiome. This practical is designed to provide students with a practical understanding of the workflow and complexities of microbiome analysis and to enable you to critically judge microbiome research that you encounter in other contexts. Students will analyse samples obtained from rodents with different health conditions and varying dietary intake patterns. As a result of these conditions, the composition of the microbiome changes and conclusions may be drawn about the relationship between the microbiome and metabolic health. Students will start with a table containing the abundances of bacteria in the microbiome and an accompanying mapping file that will be analysed with different statistical methods to identify features that are common and/or specific to various metabolic states. You will be guided through this process using a detailed manual.
ATTENDANCE AT THE FIRST OF THE TWO COMPUTER PRACTICALS IS COMPULSORY. If you have finished your analyses before the second practical and do not need the support from tutors for your assignment, you do not have to attend this practical. Please note that support will only be provided in the workshops.
Students will analyse these data individually and independently and then present these in an individual report that includes a detailed discussion of the results and biological/physiological interpretation. The report contains the results of the analyses done in the computer practical with additional questions on the interpretation of these results. The computer practical manual contains all the instructions on how to do the analyses as well as the interpretation questions that need to be answered.
