Enteral and parenteral nutritional support systems in trauma, infection, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and in organ failure. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

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. (Offered in even-numbered years.)

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.

A course consisting of a series of experiments designed to enhance understanding of the role of nutrients in metabolism and their interrelationships. Students will study a variety of investigative procedures and techniques applicable to experimental nutrition. Limited to students in Nutritional Sciences Specialized Honours. 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. (Last offering F97.)

The occurrence, metabolism and nutritional implications of non-nutrients, additives and environmental pollutants in foods and feeds. Influence of drugs, environmental contaminants and natural toxicants on nutritional requirements. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences. (Offered in odd-numbered years.)

Planning, developing and writing a research proposal under individual faculty supervision. Topic to be decided by the student in consultation with the supervisory faculty member before course selection or registration period. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

Seminar and supervised experience in nutrition education. Students will apply principles of programme planning and nutrition education theory in a community setting under the supervision of a nutritionist.
