Aspects of the main pathophysiological mechanisms of endocrine-metabolic diseases. Experimental preclinical models to study the phenotypic pictures and the experimentation of new drugs
Learning Objectives
To provide knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms of endocrine-metabolic diseases such as hypogonadism, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. Provide the knowledge for the creation of experimental models for the study of the diseases covered by the course. To provide the knowledge for the preparation of a preclinical experimentation for the efficacy of new drugs for endocrine-metabolic diseases.
Type of Assessment
written exam
Course program
Molecular and hormonal pathophysiological mechanisms of endocrine-metabolic diseases such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in the male, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in the female, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus and their repercussions on the sexual and reproductive axis. Experimental models in vivo and in vitro for the study of the aforesaid diseases. Elaboration of a preclinical experimentation for the efficacy of new drugs for endocrine-metabolic diseases.
