This unit is an extension of ANHB2216 Human Reproductive Biology. Emphasis is placed on integrating molecular, cellular, structural and functional aspects of reproduction to address contemporary problems. For example, the molecular basis of hormone secretion, action and metabolism is dealt with as a basis for considering determinants of reproductive success for the individual. This information is integrated in relation to social, ethical and ecological pressures that influence patterns of human reproduction. These pressures include stress, nutritional status and the effects of new technologies. Laboratory sessions cover topics ranging from experimental methods in molecular endocrinology... -- Course Website
