Bruxelles Woluwe
|
| Prerequisites |
Basic knowledge in general biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and dental histology.
|
| Main themes |
The program focuses on intermediary metabolism and its adaptation to various physiological situations (exercise, fasting, diabetes), on mechanisms that control blood fluidity or coagulation, regulation of blood pH, metabolism of ions essentials for the formation of teeth, inflammatory response, biochemistry of saliva, biochemistry of mineralized and connective tissues of the mouth area.
|
| Aims |
To introduce the students to human biochemistry, including biochemistry of the oral cavity, and to provide them with bases required for the study of pathology in subsequent years.
|
| Evaluation methods |
Written exam. Examples of questions are regularly given.
|
| Teaching methods |
Teaching methods: lecture courses essentially.
|
| Content |
The human biochemistry course includes:
(1) Metabolic pathways: nucleotides, cholesterol and lipoproteins, integration and adaptation to various nutritional and hormonal states.
(2) Blood biochemistry: coagulation and fibrinolysis, regulation of blood pH and acido-basic disorders.
(3) Calcium metabolism and its hormonal control.
(4) Inflammatory response
(5) Metabolism of mineralized tissues
(6) Biochemical process of caries (glucidic metabolism of bacteria, salivary function, and fluorine metabolism in dental plaque and mineralized tissues)
