      The goal - to widen the specific information that students acquired in Biochemistry course; - to enable student to form the complex view of normal metabolic transformations in the organism of healthy animals, and form the basis to understand the changes occurring during the disease; - to enable student to efficiently acquire information in later stages of PhD studies.
      The outcome After a successful conclusion of the course, students should: - have the detailed understanding of the enzymes' molecular structure and mechanisms of enzyme catalysis; - understand the mechanisms, benefits and risk of the oxidative metabolism and anti-oxidative strategies in the body; - detailed understanding of the metabolic processes specific for different tissues; - understand the mechanisms of integration and regulation of metabolic processes occurring in different tissues; - detailed understanding of the specific metabolic patterns in ruminants, birds and fish.
