Expanded Course Description
This course will provide an overview of physiological and metabolic changes that occur in typical obesity. To best understand the consequences of these physiological changes, the class will focus on the cellular mechanisms that link obesity to insulin resistance and other metabolic diseases. The primary goal of the course is for students to advance their understanding of systems physiology and metabolism by self-exploring the causes for disease progression that are associated with obesity. Students will further develop skills in science literacy through research-based group projects and presentations during the 10 weeks of study. This class will use student centered learning that will rely on student preparedness, curiosity and participation.
