| Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to chemical and biological interactions that govern the properties, disposition and biological influences of toxins. | ||||
| Lernziel | The objectives are for the student to establish a framework for examining adverse effects resulting from exposures to toxins by understanding key molecular mechanisms that give rise to toxic responses and disease processes. | ||||
| Inhalt | Einführung in die Mechanismen zur Steuerung der chemischen Disposition und der biologischen Einflüsse von Giften. Geeignet für Bachelorstudenten in höheren Semestern und Masterstudenten sowie Doktorierende der Lebensmittelwissenschaft oder verwandten Bereichen (Chemie, Umweltwissenschaften, Pharmazie, etc.) Themengebiete sind: Dosis-Wirkungsrelation und Risikoanalyse, Absorption, Transport und Biotransformation von Fremdstoffen/Chemikalien; Kanzerogenese; Schädigung der DNS, Wiederherstellung und Mutation; Chemotherapie; Immunotoxikologie; Neurotoxikologie; und Systemtoxikologie. Diese fundamentalen Konzepte der molekularen Toxikologie werden anhand von Giftstoffen besprochen, die für Lebensmittel, Arzneistoffe und die Umwelt relevant sind. | ||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | organic chemistry and biochemistry | ||||
| 752-1300-01L | Food Toxicology | 2 KP | 1V | I. Trantakis, S. J. Sturla | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Builds on a foundation in Molecular Toxicology fundamentals to address situations and toxins relevant to Food Science, Nutrition, and Food Safety & Quality. | ||||
| Lernziel | Course objectives are for the student to have a broad awareness of toxicant classes and toxicants relevant to food, and to know their identities (i.e. chemical structure or biological nature), origins, relevance of human exposures, general mode of biological action, and potential mitigation strategies. | ||||
| Inhalt | Baut auf Basiswissen molekularer Toxikologie Grundlagen auf und behandelt Themen, die vor allem in der Lebensmittelwissenschaft, der Ernährung und der Lebensmittelsicherheit und -qualität relevant sind. Beispiele sind: giftige Phytochemikalien und Mycotoxine, industrielle Schadstoffe und Verpackungsmaterialien, Giftstoffe, die während der Verarbeitung von Lebensmitteln gebildet werden, sowie Alkohol und Tabak. Die Vorlesung besteht aus verschiedenen Vorträgen (alle vierzehn Tage), selbständige Lektüre und Evaluation eines lebensmittelrelevanten Toxins. | ||||
