3 KP6RM. B. Zimmermann, C. Wolfrum
KurzbeschreibungThis course introduces basic concepts of micro- and macronutrient nutrition. Micronutrients studied include fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Macronutrients include proteins, fat and carbohydrates. Special attention is given to nutrient digestion, bioavailability, metabolism and excretion with some focus on energy metabolism.
LernzielTo introduce the students to the both macro- and micronutrients in relation to food and metabolism.
InhaltThe course is devided into two parts. The lectutres on micronutrients are given by Prof. Zimmermann and the lectures on macronutrients are given by Prof. Wolfrum. Prof. Zimmermann discusses the micronutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Prof. Wolfrum introduces basic nutritional aspects of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and energy metabolism. The nutrients are described in relation to digestion, absorption and metabolism. Special aspects of homeostasis and homeorhesis are emphasized.

752-6002-00LAdvanced Topics in Nutritional Science Information 3 KP2VM. B. Zimmermann, J. Rigutto, J. M. Sych, C. Wolfrum
KurzbeschreibungThe course gives an introduction to selected topics relevant to nutrition science, such as dietary recommendations and nutrient requirements, undernutrition and overnutrition, special diets, as well as important micronutrients and other biologically active dietary components.
LernzielThe course gives a brief introduction into different areas of human nutrition. The learning objectives are improved student understanding of: 1) dietary recommendations and the nutrient requirements at different stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy and lactation, childhood and adolescence, adults and elderly; 2) the influence of undernutrition and overnutrition, as well as specific dietary patterns (e.g. vegetarianism, veganism, weight loss diets) on health; 3) the metabolism of specific nutrients (e.g. vitamins, minerals -especially iron- and biological active ingredients), their interactions and their effect on health.
SkriptThe teaching slides used in the lectures will be made available weekly on moodle.

Child growth, childhood malnutrition and the interaction of nutrition and infectious diseases in developing countries. Specific nutritional problems in emergencies. The assessment methods and the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies at regional and global level. The principles of food fortification with micronutrients and examples fortification programs.
