This document outlines the objectives for a biochemistry course, covering topics such as glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipid chemistry, cholesterol metabolism, β-oxidation, and ketogenesis. Some key objectives include distinguishing the roles of various proteins in cholesterol transport, evaluating the relationship between lipid metabolism and heart disease, reviewing membrane composition and phospholipid synthesis, and describing the pathways of fatty acid breakdown and ketone body formation. The objectives provide an overview of the major metabolic pathways that will be covered in the course.
