PMCOL 343 - Scientific Basis of Pharmacology: Part I

★ 3 (fi 6) (first term, 3-0-0) This course, together with the subsequent PMCOL 344, provides a comprehensive study of the modern science of pharmacology. The objective of the course is to study how drugs act on physiological systems and how the responses to drugs may be quantified experimentally. The areas covered will include neuropharmacology, drugs used in treatment of diabetes and obesity, and gastrointestinal pharmacology. The course is not aimed at students in any professional program but, by providing context for the actions of drugs, information on the use of drugs for treatment of diseases will be provided. Prerequisite: PMCOL 201 and 202. Pre or corequisite: BIOCH 200 and PHYSL 210, or 212 and 214. In the case of over subscription, preference will be given to students in the Pharmacology Specialization or Honors Programs.
