| Objetius |
| The fundamental objective of this module is to offer the students a detailed view on the processes implied in the cellular transduction of energy. In this context, the biological membranes and the existent gateways in these membranes play a main role throughout the course. We will also study the application of this knowledge to normal physiologic processes, as well as to diverse pathologies |
