Full Description

This exam focuses on the hormonal factors that regulate metabolism and nutrient utilization, particularly the actions of insulin, glucagon, and other key hormones in metabolic pathways.

Understanding hormonal regulation is fundamental in nutrition science, as hormonal imbalances can lead to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Knowledge in this area supports the development of targeted nutritional interventions.

Candidates will be required to articulate the roles of specific hormones in regulating macronutrient metabolism, as well as the physiological consequences of hormonal dysregulation.

Preparation should include a thorough review of the interplay between hormones and metabolism, and how this informs dietary recommendations.

Sample Questions

  • What is the role of insulin in carbohydrate metabolism?
  • How does glucagon influence lipid metabolism during fasting?
