| 751-6113-00L | Endocrinology and Biology of Reproduction | W+ | 3 credits | 2G | S. E. Ulbrich, S. M. Bernal Ulloa | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Endokrinologie und Reproduktionsbiologie der Säugetiere und des Menschen (Anatomie, Morphologie, Physiologie, Regelmechanismen) Die Systematik der Reproduktionshormone und der Hormonrezeptoren wird erläutert, die Wirkungsmechanismen (Bildung; orale Bioverfügbarkeit; Elimination) erklärt. Mit diesen Grundlagen wird das Verständnis der Regulation der Fortpflanzung umfassend erörtert. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Die Studierenden erlangen das grundlegende theoretische Verständnis und Fachwissen zur Endokrinologie der Reproduktion und zur weiblichen und männlichen Reproduktionsbiologie. Sie können darüber hinaus pathologische Situationen (Fortpflanzungsstörungen) und deren vielfältige Ursachen in den physiologischen Kontext einordnen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 751-7310-00L | Bioactive Feed Compounds and Enriched Food Products | W+ | 2 credits | 2V | G. Foggi, M. Niu | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course provides students with basic knowledge of the connection between plant secondary metabolites and their active roles in feed and food. It offers insights into active compounds in feed or their natural-identical equivalents and the resulting quality of animal-derived food, reporting practical examples. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The course aims to provide students with foundational knowledge of plant secondary metabolites and their roles in animal feed and food quality. Through an in-depth exploration of the structure and mechanisms of action of these compounds, students will gain insights into their practical applications in animal nutrition and the production of added-value or enriched food products. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course provides an overview of various types of bioactive components contained in both food and feedstuffs, including fatty acids and secondary plant metabolites such as polyphenols, terpenoids, carotenoids and saponins. Subjects covered: - Distribution of bioactive compounds - Sources of active compounds for animal feed - Main mechanism of actions at animal or human levels - Added value and enriched food products - Advantages and disadvantages | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 701-0263-01L | Seminar in Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Diseases  | W+ | 3 credits | 2G | R. R. Regös, S. Bonhoeffer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Students of this course will discuss current topics from the field of infectious disease biology. From a list of publications, each student chooses some themes that he/she is going to explain and discuss with all other participants and under supervision. The actual topics will change from year to year corresponding to the progress and new results occuring in the field. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | This is an advanced course that will require significant student participation. Students will learn how to evaluate and present scientific literature and trace the development of ideas related to understanding the ecology and evolutionary biology of infectious diseases. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | A core set of ~10 classic publications encompassing unifying themes in infectious disease ecology and evolution, such as virulence, resistance, metapopulations, networks, and competition will be presented and discussed. Pathogens will include bacteria, viruses and fungi. Hosts will include animals, plants and humans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Publications and class notes can be downloaded from a web page announced during the lecture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Papers will be assigned and downloaded from a web page announced during the lecture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
