The aim of this elective course is to provide students the opportunity to take a knowledge about the possibilities of modern ways in nutrition and its interaction with immune response. Regulated inflammatory responses are essential to remain healthy and maintain homeostasis. Inflammatory responses can brocked this regulatin and may cause different chronic inflammatory rsponses and contribute to the perpetuation and progression of disease. Typical features of chronic inflammation underlying the pathophysiology of several disorders with loss of barrier function, responsiveness to a normally benign stimulus, infiltration of inflammatory cells into cell compartments where they are not normally found in high concentrations and overproduction of cytokines, chemokines, oxidants, eicosanoids and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Various dietary components (for example omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, prebiotics and probiotics) may modulate predisposition to chronic inflammatory processes (especially low-grade inflammation that is characteristic for obesity and other pathological conditions) and may have a role in therapy. Changes in gut barrier function and anti-inflammatory responses may lead to developing of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Many different factors associated with a Western lifestyle such as an unbalanced diet (low intake of fruits and vegetables, polyphenols and other antioxidants), pollution, psychological stress etc. may reduce the efficiency of antioxidant defences, shifting the redox balance and consequently increase the risk of inflammatory responses which may become chronic. It is very important to know the mechanisms and function of many dietary components to benefit to human health.

Regular class attendance, writing a seminar paper

The final grade of the student's knowledge is formed on the basis of the grade acquired during the course (70% of the total grade) and on the basis of the knowledge test at the final exam (30% of the total grade). During the classes, the student's work will be evaluated and evaluated on the basis of a seminar paper that students make in small groups and present during the seminar.
