This is a video of the course " Metabolic syndrome - When the metabolism runs wild" on imoox.at/course/metsy
This MOOC aims to address the underlying causes and consequences of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), a condition that affects over a billion people worldwide (WHO). The MetS is a compilation of risk factors that includes visceral obesity, high blood sugar and triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol and hypertension. This results in a considerably higher incidence of diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, liver disease and cardiovascular events. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address this substantial biomedical challenge.
The course consists of 6 units. The time required for the course was estimated at 2 hours per unit.
