(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/Undergraduate Language English Semester 2024-FALL
Course Description This course will introduce the basic concepts of one-carbon metabolism (OCM) 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
