At the end of this course the student will be able to describe, formulate and valorize聽their knowledge of both physiology and pathophysiology.
They聽will be able to analyze a pathological situation and apply their knowledge to propose one or more therapeutic approaches. The student will be able to synthesize these notions both in a written and oral manner during a concrete discussion of cases.
Topics covered will be:
1) a review of the mechanisms involved in the control of body weight, the regulation of food intake and energy metabolism
2) obesity, epidemiology, evaluation, types of obesity and energy expenditure, energy density and nutritional support and potential treatments (drugs, surgeries)
3) dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, epidemiology, evaluation, nutritional and drug therapies
4) the intestinal microbiota, its impact on the regulation of energy, carbohydrate, lipid homeostasis and the gut-brain axis (stress, anxiety, appetite)
