Course Description
This course deals with the integrative regulation of processes by hormones, in particular the regulation of energy, growth, stress, and reproduction. Basic principles are discussed first, such as homeostasis, hormonal axes, feedback mechanisms, biochemical structure of hormones, and structure and function of their receptors. Then the functional anatomy and histology of the endocrine organs are discussed, followed by the discussion of hormones that play a role in metabolism (including gut hormones and adipocytokines) and during growth, stress, and reproduction. During this course, specific attention is given to academic skills such as analyzing a scientific research paper and writing a scientific paper.

Course Description
This half course unit is designed for students whose principal discipline is not Biochemistry, but whose interests lie in the broad area of biological sciences. It is primarily a lecture course with tutorials and a dry lab practical on protein structures. The course covers key topics in protein structure and function. The depth of understanding of these topics that students attain equips them for final year studies in non-molecular based fields of biological science such as Anthropology, Psychology, and Physiology, or in some cases Human Sciences.
