KNPE 449 Advanced Protein Metabolism Units: 3.00
This course will provide an understanding of the factors that regulate the size of human skeletal muscle. Emphasis will be on how nutrition and exercise affect skeletal muscle growth/loss and insight into the use of isotopic labeling and other contemporary laboratory-based techniques used to study human skeletal muscle protein turnover.
