Utilization of Metabolomics to Teach Undergraduate Students Nutritional Metabolism (P07-006-19)

摘要

ObjectivesMetabolomics, the comprehensive study of metabolites in biological fluids and tissues, offers the ability to observe metabolic changes in a more comprehensive context to identify metabolites altered by intervention. Traditionally, nutritional metabolism has been taught using book and journal article information. Due to the emergence of metabolomics research on University campuses, an opportunity exists to utilize this tool for the purpose of educating students. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of involving students in a feeding research study using metabolomics analyses for the purpose of improving student learning of nutritional metabolism.
