        Help!  

Question
Answer
how many amino acids in nature/how many to make proteins   140/20  
🗑
conditionally essential AA example   PKU patients need tyrosine (can't convert phe)  
🗑
protein digestion in the stomach   gastrin stimulates HCl release; HCl activates pepsin  
🗑
inactive form of an enzyme is called   zymogen  
🗑
protein digestion in small intestine   CCK stimulates release of proteases  
🗑
proteases (3)   trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases (a and b)  
🗑
peptide absorption   di and tri peptides; PEPT1 (H+/peptide cotransporter); converted to AA once inside enterocyte  
🗑
5 fates of amino acids   non-protein compounds that contain N; body proteins like enzymes; fat from carbon skeletons; glucose production; energy from carbon skeleton  
🗑
amino acid pool   150g circulating in blood plasma and cytosol of cells  
🗑
glutathione   synthesized from glycine, cysteine, and glutamate; antioxidant; reduced form GSH is ~10x higher than oxidized form GSSG  
🗑
carnitine   synthesized from lysine; used for LGFA transport  
🗑
creatine   replenishes ATP during short/hard bouts of exercise  
🗑
choline   synthesized from serene; converts homocysteine to methionine (linked to CVD)  
🗑
transamination   transfer of an amino acids group form one AA to an alpha meta acid (AA skeleton)  
🗑
transamination of alanine to pyruvate enzyme   alanine amino transferase  
🗑
transamination of aspartate to oxaloacetate enzyme   aspartate amino transferase  
🗑
deamination   removal of amino group to make alpha keto acid and ammonia  
🗑
threonine->alpha keto butyrate enzyme   threonine dehydratase  
🗑
two AA that are only ketogenic   leucine and lysine  
🗑
ketogenic misnomer   not all made into ketones; just acetyl coA for TCA cycle OR ketones  
🗑
branched chain amino acids   isoleucine, leucine, valine; reduce muscle soreness (readily oxidized in skeletal muscle)  
🗑
two ways to determine nitrogen balance   measure excretion in urine/feces; measure protein intake (16% nitrogen)  
🗑
Kwashiorkor   inadequate protein w/ sufficient kcal  
🗑
Marasmus   severe deficiency in overall kcals  
🗑
Sarcopenia   loss of ~1/2% per year of muscle b/w ages 30-50; 1-2% after age 50  
🗑
risks of high protein diets   renal damage if have impaired renal function; dehydration; can still gain weight from carbon  
🗑
Minnesota Starvation Experiment   physical and mental effects of starvation; 1800 kcal per day whilst burning 3000 kcal per day  
🗑
alcohol isn't ___, it's ____   alcohol isn't digested, it's metabolized  
🗑
where is alcohol absorbed?   some stomach; mostly small intestine  
🗑
where is alcohol metabolized?   liver; the rest circulates throughout the body  
🗑
where is MEOS used?   the brain; may be associated w/ TIQs and addiction  
🗑
factors that affect BAC   size, time, fullness, male/female *less ADH, drinking frequency, East Asians/American Indians *less ALDH  
🗑
orders of parts of the brain alcohol affects   cortex, forebrain, cerebellum, brain stem  
🗑
what causes hangovers?   build-up of acetaldehyde and acetate  
🗑
negative metabolic effects of alcohol   slows down glycolysis, beta oxidation, TCA cycle; increased lactate production  
🗑
three stages of alcoholic fatty liver disease   fatty liver, steatohepatitis, cirrhosis  
🗑
cirrhosis   last stage of alcoholic fatty liver disease; liver cells die and are replaced w/ scar tissue  
🗑
consequences of chronic alcohol abuse   gastritis/pancreatitis/GERD; malnutrition, cancer (more common in men)  
🗑
pathophysiology of alcohol dependence   not well understood; affects neurotransmitters; may be connected to gene variants of ADH and ALDH  
🗑
Disulfiram   (antabuse) prevents elimination of acetaldehyde to cause hangovers  
🗑
Naltrexone   blocks opoid receptors (thus no endorphins from them)  
🗑
Acomprosate/Campral   blocks glutamate actions (which is hyperactive in post-withdrawl phase)  
🗑
French Paradox   higher butter, smoking, alcohol in France but less CVD  
🗑
J-shaped curve   abstainer and heavy drinkers have higher death rates than moderate drinkers  
🗑
polyphenols   aromatic rings w/ hydroxyl groups; found in alcholo  
🗑
four classes of polyphenols   phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, lignans  
🗑
polyphenols and wine   10x more in red than white wine  
🗑
polyphenol health benefits   antioxidant, lower LDL, anti-inflammatory, increase HDL, vasodilation, inhibit tumor growth  
🗑
resveratrol   extends lifespan in yeast; exercise performance, cancer reduction, antidiabetic, reduced atherosclerosis, reduced alzheimer's in animal models  
🗑
Sirtris   paid $720 million for enzyme that mediates effects of resveratrol  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
