NS 601 – Integrated Nutritional Sciences I
3 CREDITS
The material covered in CNU/NS 601
consists of three major emphasis areas:
(1) review of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein
structure, synthesis, absorption, and metabolism, (2)
the impact of nutritional influences on macronutrient

macronutrient metabolism on the regulation of energy
balance.
Prerequisite: Consent
of instructor.
NS 602 – Integrated Nutritional Sciences II
