Course Name	(中) 維生素與單碳代謝導論(5214)
	(Eng.) Introduction of Vitamins in One Carbon Metabolism
Offering Dept	Department of Food Science and Biotechnology
Course Type	Elective	Credits	2	Teacher	蔣恩沛
Department	Department of Food Science and Biotechnology/Graduate	Language	English	Semester	2024-FALL
Course Description	This course will introduce the basic concepts of one-carbon metabolism and the functions of vitamin coenzymes involved in the main reactions I our body. The goal of the course is to introduce the nutritional biochemistry in OCM in detail to students who are conducting research in related fields, and to deeply explore the latest research on OCM in recent years. It includes the main vitamin cofactors of enzymes in OCM, cellular absorption, vitamin uptake and retention, assimilation and dissimilation of folic acid, folic acid antagonists, regulation of folate dependent transmethylation, transsulfuration and homocysteine remethylation, genetic variability and dietary effects on OCM, cellular and genetic patterns on metabolic kinetics in human diseases and therapies
