Abstract
This work has been developed as part of the Endocrinology and
Metabolism student’s laboratory formation from Biology degree at the
University of Murcia. Endocrinology and Metabolism is an elective oneterm
course that is taught in the fourth year (4.5 ECTS) for "Biosanitary
and Biotechnology" intensification. The course focuses on the study of
global and intermediary human metabolism and hormonal regulation,
both under normal and special situations.
It is our objective to get undergraduate students of
Endocrinology and Metabolism with the importance of hormonal
diurnal fluctuations in endocrine systems through their involvement in
an innovative research program. In addition, with the participation of
PhD student in this program, we try to improve their skills in innovative
teaching.
In humans cortisol circadian rhythm peaks in the morning and
shows the lowest levels during the midnight. This fluctuation of cortisol
plasma level is reflected in saliva, allowing a simple, non ...
