| Omschrijving | The importance of nutrition for the development of mostly chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity is well recognized nowadays. The knowledge on how nutrition may benefit health and healthy aging is increasing steadily. Many regulatory mechanisms exist in the body that determine the storage and catabolism of food components used for energy supply. In addition, food contains micronutrients and bioactive compounds that provide protective effects against damaging products of metabolism. The student will gain the latest insights on how nutrition regulates metabolism and how unbalanced nutrition may lead to disease. Furthermore, the student will learn about sophisticated research technologies applied in the field. The student will perform nutrition studies in humans and animals and will present the outcome of the scientific research in written reports. |
