Description
Molecular mechanisms of metabolism
• Macronutrients and micronutrients
• Digestion, absorption
• Regulation of metabolic processes
• The role of microelement in physiological and pathophysiological processes
Molecular processes in different organ systems and complex connections between them
• Molecular processes in skeletal and heart muscle, gut, liver, adipose tissue, brain, bones
• Communication between tissues – paracrine factors, hormones, extracellular vesicles
• Immune system and inflammation
Gut Microbiota
• The role of nutrients on the variety of bacterial cultures
• Gut-brain axes
• The influence of exercise on microbiota and vice versa
• Microbiota and immune system
