The subject deals with basic biochemical processes in the organism in the context of rational nutrition. The course is aimed at acquiring theoretical knowledge in the field of biochemistry, including mastering the principles of biochemical processes in the body.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Mgr. Ivana Kinkorová, Ph.D. (14.11.2023)

The aim of the course is primarily to get acquainted with and acquire theoretical knowledge in the field of the basics of biochemistry:

Key knowledge and skills:

1/ composition of living matter

2/ main nutrients - sugars, fats, proteins - their distribution and characteristics

3/ metabolic transformations of the main nutrients (glycolysis, beta-oxidation, Krebs cycle, cellular respiration...)

4/ proteosynthesis (principle, meaning, sequence, inclusion within the cell)

5/ nucleic acids (structure, function, meaning)

6/ polarization/depolarization of the plasma membrane, transmission of excitement, events on the neuromuscular plate and muscle contraction

7/ biologically active substances (vitamins, antioxidants, signaling molecules)
