I anticipate the following topics will be assessed on the mid-unit examination based upon the posted consensus learning issues:
| Topic | Description | ePBLM |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
biosynthetic pathway to prostaglandins,
leukotrienes, and thromboxanes, effects of NSAIDs (aspirin) and steroids,
comparison of COX enzymes |
Souders, James, Salasoo, Franks |
|
general pathways and gross regulation
of energy production in muscle tissue, role of calcium, vitamins and
nutrition |
James, Salasoo |
|
|
|
|

I suggest, as I have done so previously in the resource sessions, that you would do well to be familiar with the content and concepts that appear on the biochemistry animations that are available on this web site and Blackboard and from Drs. Davie and Weilbaecher presentations; all of these have been posted on Blackboard. These resource sessions focused on these topics, which were the final learning issues. Self-assessment questions and answers (SAQs) have been available for your practice.
If you need additional resources, please contact me and I encourage you to read each case's correlated readings in Devlin (Devlin, T. M. (ed.). 2010. Textbook of biochemistry with clinical correlations, 7th ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York) or appropriate material in Nelson and Cox (Nelson, D. L., and M. M. Cox. (ed.). 2008. Lehninger principles of biochemistry, 5th ed. Worth, New York).
