Learning Outcomes

Principal Learning Outcomes ?
  1. Describe the function of the liver, adipose tissue, and other metabolic tissues in retaining homeostasis through hormonal and neural regulation
  2. Describe energy homeostasis in daily life and how it changes due to stress, exercise, and disease

After this lecture, you should be able to:

  1. Describe fasting and fed metabolism (carbohydrates, lipids, protein) and their transition and regulation (insulin, glucagon)

including:

  • Understand how (cell-specific) metabolic pathways relate to physiological function of organs and tissues
  • Understand energy sources for the brain
