your group to finalise your presentation at the mandatory intensive school.

and will count towards the final assessment of this unit
Introduction
Macro nutrient metabolic homeostasis involves the constant supply
of fuel to all organs throughout the day Anormal macro nutrient metabolic daily cycle consists both fed and fasted stages within a 24 hour
cycle. This 24 hour metabolic fed-fast daily cycle therefore underpins normal physiological conditions as well as metabolic pathological
states.
Dweawe
The aim of this assignment is to define the normal daily inter-organ fedfast cycle of humans and then describe
perturbation of inter-organ metabolic flow under an altered physwlogical or pathological state which will be asSigned to you.
Research
Each student will be assigned into a group that will research either an altered physiological state or a patholo ical metabolic
state. Each group has a padlet account which wrll enable students to post information in a variety of formats fgor the whole group to use.
Please ensure that you make significant early contributions of researched information to the group. When you post information on padlet 55
please annotate it with your full name I will be monitoring student activity on the padlet sites You can also bounce ideas around on the
padlet group sites The researching of information for your assignment is designed as a collaborative exercise,
he Essay
Each
individual will have to submit their own 1200-word essay on his/her main findings.
Your essay should include:
abrief introductionto
the topic. including the a one sentence synopsis or argument of the essay.
a map and concise but detailed description of the
inter-organ flow of metabolites under normal fed-fasted metabolic states and the perturbation due to a specific pathology or altered
physrological state.
explanation of mechanisms inv olved in regulating the flow of metabolites and energy (eg. the inv olv ement of
pancreatic hormones). Note powerpoint is good for drawing these types of metabolic maps. Submission of hand drawn mapswill result in
deduction of marks,
A succinct conclusion paragraph.
Six references (including at least 2 review scientific
articles),

The map you present in your essay MUST be a compilation of your research groups activity
and not copied directly from text book, internet or any other source.
Note: I am looking for you to generate an integrated pathway, 7
inter-organ metabolic map in which the pathways and organs are connected metabolically (be imaginative with the setting out of this map),
HINT: If you make your integrated map the central figure in your essay you can use your paragraphs to explain your central integrated
biochemical ma‘g under normal fed,fasted and your assigned perturbed physiological or pathological conditions.

Seminar Presentation
Each group hasto prepare a IO minute seminar. that
presents the group’s ov erall findings.
You will be given an opportunity to meet with your group in person to finalise your seminar at the
mandatory intensiv e school.
Since your group seminar will be presented at the intensive school in a lecture theater you will need to bring
a USB thumb drive and a laptop computer to complete your presentation.

Create your seminar using PowerPoint,
As a group, you will present
your seminar in a lecture theatre to the class during the intensive school.
What to include in your seminar: Give a detailed indication
of the flow of metabolites and energy in fed and fasted states as well as the perturbations associated with the altered physiological or
pathological state.
Your group will be asked questions about your topic preferably by your fellow students,
Include mainly figures
and short explanatory text (Use the lecture slide format as a guide when producing your powerpoint slides.
You should arm to have
between 8-10 slides in your 10 minute seminar.
Produce concise and clear slides that tell a story. Avoid repetitions! Aggod rule of
thumb is that “You are a miser writing to a fool and every word costs $1 You only have 810 00 to spend.
Use large enough te xt srze
(minimum 16-18 point calibii or arial font) so it can be read from the back of the lecture theater. That is where I will be

Part II Scientific Merits (50/100)
1. Detailed assessment and description of metabolite and energy flow in the metabolic/physical

Note – here you would like to include as many tissues involved in metabolite and energy flow and as many metabolic pathways
you found to be active in each tissue during the assigned state 2096
Critical review of the topic and depth of research, presentation of
correct information, Clarity and extent of using figures, tables, flow charts and other visual aids (self drawn in power point)
Note
Here you will be assessed on your ability to show the interconnection among the tissues (metabolite and energy flow) and among the pathways
