Biomarkers in animal nutrition
Course syllabus
Aim of the course:
the course addresses the use of biomarkers of nutritional exposure and nutritional status. Different type of biochemical and functional index of status of an essential nutrient or other dietary constituents will be studied. The goal is to critically evaluate the state of the science of biomarkes of nutritional intake in animal models.
COURSE ORGANIZATION :
lectures (16h)
Nutritional behavior
Nutritional status evaluation
Micronutrient status biomarkers
Practice training (16h)
Laboratory activities
Journal club
Final examination
A seminar on a specific topic related to the course contents
