Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	To examine role of human nutrition in advanced level for maintaining and protection of the health. Micronutrient (vitamins, mineral) and water metabolism is explored to integrate biochemistry, physiology and nutrition.
Course Content:	Detailed study of the properties, metabolism, biochemical and physiological functions and interactions of vitamins and minerals, and their relationships to deficiency symptoms and toxicity are studied at lectures, discussions, student seminars.
