Outline and Purpose of the Course	This lecture explains the physical effects of nutrients and food ingredients using essential nutritional chemistry. Since this lecture is a series in nutritional chemistry and food physiology, it is strongly recommended to take both subjects.
Course Goals	Understand the internal metabolism of proteins, lipids, and sugars. In addition, nutrient metabolism varies by organ and tissue, and they maintain homeostasis in cooperation with each other. Understand the process and the physical effects of food, and the interaction between the ingested food and the ingesting animal.
Schedule and Contents	(in charge) [Content] First session: (Sasaki) Why do we eat? Food function and appetite Second session: (Sasaki) Sensory mechanisms that encourage consumption: Taste and smell Third session: (Sasaki) Dynamics of nutrients in the body: Digestion, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion Fourth session (Sasaki): Cell nutrient turnover Fifth session: (Matsui) Sugar digestion, absorption, metabolism, and physiology Sixth session: (Sasaki) Digestion, absorption, metabolism, and physiology of lipids Seventh session: (Matsui) Protein digestion, absorption, metabolism and physiology Eighth session: (Sasaki) Vitamin digestion, absorption, metabolism and physiology Ninth session: (Tsuzuki) Mineral digestion, absorption, metabolism, and physiology Tenth session: (Sasaki) Control of genes through nutrition Eleventh session: (Sasaki) Dietary fiber and gut bacteria Twelfth session: (Oguri) Integrated control of the whole body -Energy balance Thirteenth session: (Sasaki) Exercise metabolism Fourteenth session: (Oguri) Lifestyle diseases and food 　　　　　　　　　　<<< Term-end Examination >> Fifteenth session: (Sasaki) Feedback
Evaluation Methods and Policy	[Evaluation method] Evaluated with the final test score, which is mandatory. [Evaluation criteria] Evaluation standards and policies are based on those described in the Faculty of Agriculture Handbook for the relevant year.
Course Requirements	In order to understand the lectures, basic knowledge on biochemistry such as glycolysis and TCA cycles is indispensable.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	The reference book "Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism" is in English, but the text is written in a plain and familiar manner, so please use it to understand and to practice English. "Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism" is designated as a textbook for third year nutritional physiology, so please familiarize yourself by using it together with the second year Japanese textbook. Additionally, it is recommended to use the Japanese reference book, "Metabolism Navigation," to assist in understanding.
