Learning Outcomes
Principal Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the function of the liver, adipose tissue, and other metabolic tissues in retaining homeostasis through hormonal and neural regulation.
- Describe energy homeostasis in daily life and how it changes due to stress, exercise, and disease.
After this lecture, you should be able to:
- Understand how the liver contributes to energy homeostasis
- Describe lipoprotein metabolism (fasting and postprandial)
- Understand how inborn errors of metabolism can affect the metabolic system
- Understand how (cell-specific) metabolic pathways relate to physiological function of organs and tissuess
- Describe fasting and fed metabolism (carbohydrates, lipids, protein) and their transition and regulation (insulin, glucagon)
