 Aims
To understand the mechanisms that regulate body weight, appetite and food intake, and energy expenditure.
To characterize the deregulation of these mechanisms in some pathological conditions.
To know the pharmacological tools that are able to interfere with those mechanisms.
Main themes
1.Fuel homeostasis
2.Regulation of energy expenditure: role of uncoupling proteins
3.Control of body weight and food intake in physiological and pathophysiological conditions
4.Pharmacological regulation of body weight
Content and teaching methods
Content: to acquire the basic knowledge on the physiological, pathophysiological, pharmacological mechanisms that control body weight
Methods: plenary lectures, personal preparation of scientific articles with oral presentation
Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)
