An Organ Systems Approach to Experimental Targeting of the Metabolic Syndrome
An Organ Systems Approach to Experimental Targeting of the Metabolic Syndrome
| Hosted by the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine |
| July 20-31, 2009 |
| Vanderbilt University School of Medicine |
| http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/medschool/mpb/ |
| Nashville, Tennessee |
|
|
The course will be an intensive two week experience for 20 students.
The objective of the course is to give students the tools needed to assess
whether an experimental intervention (pharmacologic, genetic, dietary, or
environmental) alters macronutrient metabolism, energy balance, cardiovascular
homeostasis or animal behavior. To accomplish this, we will use a combination
of lectures, hands on laboratories, demonstrations and data problem sessions.
