BIOL 406 - Diabetes and Complications

Credits: 3

American Indians have higher morbidity and mortality rate from diabetes compared to other Americans. This disease is preventable to some degree, thus provoking culturally congruent intervention programs. The benefit to the community is enormous when interest is stirred on the outcomes of the disease. The historical and social context of diabetes will be discussed by focusing on its classification, diagnosis, epidemiology, and global burden. The normal and pathophysiology of diabetes will be explained followed by pathogenesis of types I and II diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances. Various causes of diabetes and complications will also be discussed.

Prerequisites: BIOL 2110C , BIOL 2120C , and CHM 471 or permission of the instructor.
Offered: Spring.
