Methods and approaches in nutrition education. Community programs in nutrition for different age groups; dietary counselling; nutrition education in the preschool, in prenatal and other specialized programs. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

This course integrates existing knowledge in several areas - nutrition, metabolism and immunology. Of particular interest are the underlying mechanisms of nutritional immunomodulation with particular reference to the human problem of protein-energy malnutrition. Food sensitivities and the immunological functions of milk will also be considered. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

Energy metabolism will be considered under the headings: thermodynamic principles, energy deposition and hormonal control of metabolism; nutrition, exercise and environmental influences on energy balance and enzyme adaptation; nutrition and exercise in the control of body composition. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

A discussion of disorders of metabolism, either inherited or acquired, in which nutrition plays a major role in the etiology, pathogenesis, or treatment. The nutritional control of the affected metabolic pathways and the interaction of nutrition with exercise, drugs and gene therapy will be presented. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

Rumen microbiology, digestive physiology and nutrition principles will be integrated and related to practical problems in ruminant nutrition. Department of Animal and Poultry Science.

A study of gastrointestinal manipulation of digesta and utilization of resultant nutrients in fowl and swine. Animal idiosyncrasies as they influence feedstuff value will be considered. Department of Animal and Poultry Science.
