The significance of nutrition in terms of individuals and societies throughout the world. Factors involved in the application of knowledge of nutritional needs and food selection. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition. (Also offered through distance education format.)

Nutritional needs through the life cycle and their significance in family and community health. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.(Also offered through distance education format.)

This interdisciplinary course provides an introduction to the Food and Nutritional Sciences from both historical and modern perspectives. Major themes are the nutritional and functional properties of food, nutrient assimilation, food preservation and safety, and the interactions between food processing, diets and health. The course is co-operatively taught by the Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences and the Department of Food Science. (Also listed as 42-215.)

Metabolic and physiologic aberrations in certain disease conditions and principles underlying nutritional therapy. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

This is the foundation course for the study of nutrition. The occurrence, uptake and metabolic role of nutrients will be discussed in relation to growth, reproduction and longevity in human subjects, domestic animals and other species; principles of experimentation and the use of analytical techniques to monitor the metabolic fate of nutrients; the integration of chemical analyses of nutrients with physiological measurements; the use of experimental animals for the detection of toxicants and nutrient deficiencies. Limited to students who require 71-319 as part of their degree program. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

This is the foundation course for the study of nutrition. The occurrence, uptake and metabolic role of nutrients will be discussed in relation to growth, reproduction and longevity in human subjects, domestic animals and other species. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

The course emphasizes the biochemical basis for the dietary essentiality of vitamins and minerals. The course extends the fundamentals of nutrition to include conditional essentiality of micronutrients, biochemical individuality and the use of micronutrient supplementation to promote human and animal health. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

The nutrition of fish and crustaceans with emphasis on those species used in aquaculture. Nutritional biochemistry, nutritional pathology and comparative nutrition of cold blooded, ammonotelic animals mainly carnivorous, contrasted with warm blooded ureotelic omnivores. Department of Animal and Poultry Science. (Offered in even-numbered years.)

A study of the nutrition of avian and mammalian wildlife with emphasis on North American species. The role of nutrition in survival and population growth of wildlife in their natural habitat. Formulation of diets for wild species in captivity. Department of Animal and Poultry Science.

Principles and methods used in nutritional assessment of individuals and populations in health and disease states. Dietary, anthropometric and biochemical techniques will be primary components. Nutritional screening, advanced techniques for body composition assessment, physical exam and clinical indicators will also be addressed. Laboratories will provide the students with hands-on training of diet and anthropometric methods. Cases will be used to develop the understanding of the concepts discussed in lectures. Significant independent learning will be required.

Relation of nutritional and environmental factors to physical and mental aspects of human growth and development through the life cycle. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

A continuation of 71-304. This lecture and laboratory based course is concerned with the application of nutrition to clinical problems. Lectures will focus on etiology and pathophysiology whereas seminars will focus on problem identification and therapeutic treatment. Routes of feeding, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, catabolic states and specialized nutrition therapies will be highlighted. Cases which require significant independent learning will be the primary format for seminars.

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 odd-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.

Laboratory and other investigational techniques are covered, together with their underlying concepts. The course is designed to enhance understanding of the design and use of nutraceuticals for human and animal health. Limited to students in Nutritional Sciences Major. Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences.

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 even-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. The placements may be arranged in hospital or community health settings, educational facilities, social service agencies, or with industry. Students wishing to enrol in this course must consult with course instructor during Fall course selection. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

Reading and discussion on selected areas in human nutrition and its application; formal class reports and term papers. Primarily for Applied Human Nutrition majors. Department of Family Studies, Applied Human Nutrition.

The student will conduct and write an undergraduate thesis under the direction of a faculty member.
