Metabolic Regulation of Reproduction

[0.50] credits · Graduate

Reproductive function in mammals demands substantial amounts and adequate balance of nutrients and energy. Consequently, reproductive physiology is tightly regulated by systemic and tissue-specific metabolism. This course uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore the metabolic regulation of reproduction and its implications to reproductive health, fertility, and developmental biology. Students should have a strong background in reproductive physiology and a good understanding of molecular and cellular biology and scientific methods prior to enrolling.
