Russian term

метаболические процессы в организме человека ... в норме и при патологии

Russian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Biochemistry
The key phrase is в норме.

The context is a reference provided for a former student by a university. The whole phrase is:

За время обучения на биологическом факультете ... освоил дисциплины химического и биологического профиля, заложив фундамент для изучения метаболических процессов в организме человека и животных в норме и при патологии.

Could the idea of в норме be 'when healthy' or 'when in normal health'?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 studying metabolic processes in healthy and diseased human and animal subjects
4 +3 normal and abnormal metabolic processes
4 metabolic processes in normal and disease states

That is the idea, me thinks.

studying metabolic processes in healthy and diseased human and animal subjects

I read the original as saying that it's the research subjects that are healthy or diseased. (Presumably, certain metabolic processes are abnormal in a diseased subject, but I doubt all of them are; you could conceivably study metabolic processes in a diseased subject and find that all of the ones you are looking at are normal.)

For some examples of this usage, follow this link to my Google search:

Thanks! You have been a great help to me in the past on medical terms, so I particularly value your opinion. :)
agree Marina Aleyeva : I agree with your reasoning Jennifer

thanks!
agree Gabrielle Leyden : yes - literally "in humans and animals in healthy and diseased states"

thanks!
agree Dorene Cornwell : I agree with Gabrielle though: I was thinking metabolic processes in humans and animals under normal and pathological conditions"

agreed--your version works at least as well as mine--"normal and pathological conditions" appears to be a pretty standard phrasing

normal and abnormal metabolic processes

I think it's as simple as that - we are not directly talking here about human health itself but, more specifically, about studying normal and abnormal metabolic processes.
Peer comment(s):
agree Natalie : or: normal and pathological metabolism

Also possible, thank you
agree Oleksandr Bragarnyk : **normal and pathological metabolic processes **?// just compilation ;)

Yet another option, thank you
agree Fyodor Sviridenko : normal and pathological metabolic processes - I would choose this
