nutrition test#2

carbohydrates, fats and other lipids, proteins

QuestionAnswer
carbohydrates are a major source of energy
plants use CO2 H20 and sun energy to make carbohydrates
the process of plants using the suns energy to combine carbon oxygen and hydrogen to form carbohydrates is called photosynthesis
monosaccharide 1 sugar, are the building blocks of carbohydrates
monosaccharides glucose, fructose, galactose
glucose primary energy source for cells also called '''dextrose'', or ''blood sugar''
fructose called ''fruit sugar'' or levulose, hfcs(high fructose corn syrup)
galactose part of milk sugar called(lactose)
disaccharides maltose, sucrose , lactose
maltose= glucose and glucose
sucrose= glucose and fructose
lactose= glucose and galactose
sucrose table sugar, almost 100% sucrose
American diet sucrose made mostly from sugar cane, sugar beets
refinement strips away small amounts of ? and minerals naturals in cane and beets vitamins
sucrose is naturally in honey maple syrup and carrots
nutritive sweeteners contribute to energy to foods provide 4 kcal
added sugars nutritive sweeteners such as sucrose and high fructose corn syrup added during processing or preparation
what are alternative sweeteners substances that are added to food to sweeten it but provide few to no calories
what are sugar alcohols alternative sweeteners, poorly absorbed and may cause diarrheasupply 2 kcal do not contribute to dental calories,
alternative sweeteners sorbitol xylitol and mannitol
sugar alcohols provide ? kcal/g 2 kcal/g
aspartame consists of phenylananine and aspartic acid
people with PKU must avoid aspartame
stevia from leaves of stevia rebaudiana bertoni bush, rebiana, considered safe by fda
rebiana sweet chemical in stevia leaves
complex carbohydrates(polysaccharides) contain >= 10 monosaccharide's bonded together,
storage form of carbohydrate in plants and animals polysaccharides
starch=polysaccharide storage form of carbohydrate in plants, in seeds roots and tubers, modified starches found in sports drinks and energy bars
modified starches maltodextrin ,dextrin, and glucose polymers
glycogen=polysaccharide storage form of carbohydrate in humans and other animals
where is glycogen primarily stored liver and muscle
fiber most forms of fiber are complex carbohydrates the human body cannot digest
soluble fibers dissolve and swell in water ex. cellulose
insoluble fibers usually do not dissolve in water ex. pectins gums
good sources of fiber are aminimum of ? grams per serving 2.5 grams
whole grain the intact ground cracked or flaked seed of cereal grains must contain (fiber rich bran, starchy endosperm, and oily germ)
carbohydrates in mouth salivary amylase digests some starch
carbohydrates in stomach acid inactivates salivary amylase
carbohydrates in small intestine main site for carbohydrate digestion and absorption
carbohydrates in liver absorbed monosaccharides (glucose galactose and fructose)travel to liver
carbohydrates in large intestine some soluble fiber fermented
carbohydrates in rectum very little dietary carbohydrate excreted in feces
maintaining blood glucose level hormones insulin and glucagon
insulin and glucagon are both made in the pancreas
insulin when secreted raises glucose and its action on glucose is uptake by cells
glucagon when secreted lowers blood glucose and its action on glucose is glycogen breakdown and raises synthesis of glucose
insulin released from pancreas enables glucose to enter ells, enhances production/storage of (fat, glycogen and protein) decreases hunger
what happens when you don't eat when blood glucose decreases pancreas releases glucagon stimulating glycogenolysis, and lypolysis
glycogenolysis lysis (to break down) glycogen breakdown releasing glucose into the blood
lipolysis (lipo=fat) breakdown of triglycerides (fat for energy)
ketones form as a result of incomplete fat breakdown (poorly controlled diabetes, fasting or starving, low carbohydrates high protein diet) used by certain cells for energy
ketosis condition that occurs with very high blood ketones unconsciousness and death may occur
average American carb consumption pattern 23% kcal (30 tsp from added sugar)
according to myplate added sugars are empty calories and most people only have room for ? empty calories everyday 100-300 calories
in developing nations 70 % of energy comes from relatively ? carbohydrates unprocessed
developing countries unprocessed carbs whole grains, beans, potatoes, corn , rice
look for in cereal fiber-3 grams or more, sugar-8g or less, 1st ingredient should be either (whole oat or bran)
are carbs fattening it may depend on the type of carb
probably fattening carbohydrates added sugars, refined starches, high fructose corn syrup
healthy carbs fiber rich foods such as fruits vegetables and unrefined grains
diabetes mellitus group of serious chronic diseases characterized by abnormal glucose fat and protein metabolism 2 types
type 1 diabetes 10 % of population autoimmune disease pancreas cells stop making insulin
type 2 diabetes 90% of population, most common type insulin resistant cells
blood glucose levels 70=99 mg/dl, 100-125 mg/dl, 126 and up
70-99 mg/dl glucose level normal glucose level
100-125 mg/dl glucose level pre diabetes glucose level
126 mg/dl gluclose level and more diabetes glucose level
step 1 in contolling diabetes-maintenance of normal or near normal blood glucose levels daily self testing of blood glucose, periodic measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin
step 2 in contolling diabetes maintain healthy body weight
step 3 controlling diabetes follow special diet
step 4 controlling diabetes obtain regular physical activity
hypoglycemia abnormally low blood glucose levels <70 mg/dl, blood glucose level is too low to provide cells adequate energy
reactive hypoglycemia in some people blood glucose drops after eating highly refined carbs
metabolic syndrome seen in 47 million adult Americans, characterized by having more than three of these signs (1-large waist circumference, 2-hypertension, 3-high blood tryglycerides, 4-high blood cholesterol, 5-high fasting blood glucose
tooth decay linked to high carb diet especially sticky simple sugars that remain on teeth
bacteria in mouth affecting tooth decay use carbs in residue for energy produce acid by products of metabolism this acid damages tooth enamel(cavity forms
lactose intolerance- inability to digest lactose cause by inadequate lactase (affects millions of americans, very common in people of African Asian or eastern European descent)
fiber and digestive tract low fiber and the digestive tract- low fiber intake is linked to constipation and straining to expel feces,
pressure on large intestine may result in diverticula formation
diverticula abnormal tiny sacks that form in wall of colon
fiber and colorectal cancer high fiber diets help protect against colorectal cancer
fiber and heart health soluble fibers promote heart health
fiber and weight control high fiber foods are filling resulting in satiety
glycemic index method of classifying carb rich food by comparing the rise in blood glucose after eating a protion of food that contains 50 g gestible carbs to the rise that occurs after eating 50 grams of a standard source of glucose
glycemic load grams of carbs in a serving of food multiplied by the foods glycemic index this figure is then divided by 100
high glycemic foods sugar, Gatorade bagel
low glycemic foods peaches fructose honey
GI AND GL values for a particular food may vary depending on when food is grown, degree of ripeness, extent of processing, other components in the meal
lipids include fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol,
lipids are insoluble in water, less dense than water
name 3 important roles that lipids play in the body crucial components of plasma membranes that surround all our cell, subcutaneous fat under skin stores energy, insulators and protects the body, cushions vital organs especially in abdominal
fatty acids (the building block) fatty acids contain a hydrogen carbon chain (carbon and hudrogen atoms) with a methyl group (CH3) at one end and an acid group (COOH) at the other
fatty acids end of molecule with the methyl group is called omega by chemists
fatty acids very in their number of carbons short, medium, long chain
short chain fatty acids 2-4 carbons
medium chain fatty acids 6-12 carbons
long chain fatty acids 14-24 carbons
fatty acids also vary by saturation saturated, unsaturated
saturated fatty acid each carbon atom has 2 hydrogen atoms attached
unsaturated fatty acid one or more carbons lacking 2 hydrogen atoms and as a result the molecule has 1 or more double bonds
unsaturated fatty acids can be monosaturated-olive oil polyunsaturated fatty acids (sunflower safflower canola oil)
2 essential fatty acids alpha linolenic acid, and linoleic acid (must get these through diet)
benefits of essential fatty acids precursors or prostaglandins hormone like substances
3 effects of prostaglandins 1.stimulate uterine contractions, 2-regulate BP, 3-promote immune system response
where do we get these essential fatty acids 2-3 tbls of daily vegetable fat name 2 oils where we can get this (1.canola 2.soybean oils)
what are trans fats unsaturated fats w/at least 1 trans double bond and is straighter rather than the more common cis bond
foods that contain trans fat fried foods, dressing, creamy foods
hydrogenation oricess tgat adds hydrogen atoms to liquid vegetable oils
partial hydrogenation not all double bonds are hydrogenated, naturally cis double bonds convert to unhealthy trans form
2 reasons fats are hydrogenated more solid at room temperature (margarine), can store longer lower oxidation so higher shelf life,higher oxidation breaks down food and makes it rancid
trans fat and health used in many processed foods
high amounts of trans fats in diet increase heart disease risk by raising blood cholesterol levels
tryglycerides are composed of three ? 3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone
95 % of lipids in the body and foods is in the form of tryglycerides
tryglycerides contain both saturated and unsaturated fats
populations who consume diets rich in saturated fat and trans fat have a higher risk of ? than those whose diets contain more unsaturated fats CVD
lecithin main phospholipid in foods
emulsification raises surface area to help break down fats
cholesterol a sterol a compound that is more complex than most other lipids
cholesterol primarily made in your body liver
functions of cholesterol body uses cholesterol to make various substances including vitamin d, steroid hormones(estrogen, testosterone) bile, it is component of every cell membrane in the body
gallbladder store cholesterol
what happens to lipids in your body in the duodenum pancreatic lipase digests triglycerides forming primarily monoglycerides free fatty acids
bile made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder
bile contains bile salts that aid in lipid digestion
without bile lipids clump together in large fat globules
lipid in stomach digestion minor fat digestion occurs
lipid in liver digestion produces bile
lipid in pancreas digestion secretes lipase into small intestine
lipid in small intestine main site for lipid digestion and absorption
lipid in anus less than 5% of undigested fat is excreted in feces
recycling bile sals enterohepatic circulation (liver gallbladder, small intestine, portal vein)
enterohepatic circulation liver uses cholesterol to make bile salts
enterohepatic circulation gallbladder stores bile before release into small intestine
enterohepatic circulation small intestine where bile emulsifies fat
enterohepatic circulation portal veins returns bile salts to liver where the compounds are recycled
enterohepatic circulation after bile salts are used to aid lipid digestion the salts are absorbed in the ileum and return to liver for the production of new bile
soluble fibers recycling bile salts and plant sterols/stanols interfere with bile and cholesterol absorption
entero whole
hepatic relating to liver
three foods high in soluble fiber oats , barley nuts
aduoise tussye adipose cells store triglycerides as fat droplets
using triglycerides for energy #1 adipose cells can break down triglycerides into fatty acid and glycerol molecules before releasing them into blood stream,
using triglycerides for energy #2 liver can convert glycerol to glucose another energy source
triglycerides provide 9 kcal/g
fat in 1987-1988 54 lbs a year
fat in 2007-2008 63 lbs a year
fat contributes 34% of the average Americans daily caloric intake
dietary lipid recommendations acceptable macronutrient distribution range 20 to 35 % of total calories
us dietary guidelines 2010 10% of calories from saturated fats, 300 mg cholesterol daily trans fatty acid intake as low as possible
lipid info required on -300 facts panel total kilocalories from fat, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol
CVD disease of the heart and blood vessels
most common forms of CVD are heart disease ''coronary artery disease''stroke, (1 in 3 adult Americans have some form of cvd
cvd is responsible for 30 % of deaths in the US in 2009
athero lipid contains
sclerosis hardening
atherosclerosis disease in which lipid containing plaques build up inside artery
plaque forms in an artery when something irritates the lining of the artery wall, it interferes with circulation, may also result in thrombus
embolus formation thrombus that breaks away and travels through the blood is an embolus
if an embolus lodges in the heart it can cause heart attack
if an embolus lodges in the brain and deprives brain of oxygen and nutrients it causes stroke
arteriosclerosis condition that results from atherosclerosis, characterized by loss of arterial flexibility, commonly referred to as hardening arteries
hypertension chronic condition characterized by abnormally high blood ressure levels may cause hardened arteries to tear or burst
genes may code for physical conditions that increase risk hypertension and diabetes, influence the way circulatory and immune systems respond to diet
lipoproteins transport lipids in the blood, play major role in atherosclerosis development, carry different types of lipids and can influence plaque formation differently
HDL commonly called ''good'' cholesterol , transports cholesterol away from tissues and to the liver where it can be eliminated
LDL ''bad cholesterol'' conveys cholesterol to tissue may become oxidized LDL and contribute to atherosclerotic plaque
VLDL(very low density lipoproteins high levels may contribute to atherosclerosis primarily carries tryglycerides
lipid profile (fasting) blood test that determines total cholesterol hdl and ldl cholesterol and triglyceride levels
per day cholesterol from food < or = 300
total cholesterol blood test numbers < = 200 mg/dl
LDL cholesterol blood test # < = 100 mg/dl
HDL Cholesterol blood test # 40-60 mg/dl men 50-60 mg/dl women
tryglycerides < = 150 mg/dl
coronary calcium consists of specks of calcium (tiny calcifications ) in arteries of the heart (associated w. smoking and elevated cholesterol)
reducing risk of CVD limit saturated fats to < 10 % of kcal
reducing risk of CVD limit trans fat to as little as possible pref-none
reducing risk of CVD choose unsaturated fats to replace saturated and trans fat (total fat to 20-35% of total energy intake)
omega 3 (walnuts, shrimp, salmon, tuna, seaweed) actions reduces inflammation blood clotting and blood pressure, may reduce risk of heart disease
omega 6 animal fats and vegetable oils action-increases inflammation and blood clotting may also reduce risk of heart disease
reduce dietary fat by reducing intake of fried foods, purchase lean cuts of meat and trim visible fat, replace some fatty foods with reduced fat or fat free alteratives, replace high fat sandwich meats with nut butters, choose low fat snack fods, use less salad dressing
dietary modifications increase soluble fiber intake, reduce intake of refined carbs monitor alcohol intake (a small amount can raise HDL but increase blood triglycerides levels and blood pressure, lose excess body fat, follow Mediterranean diet
4 ways to lower risk of CVD exercise, get rid of ab fat, no smoking, better diet chaces
statins class of medication that interfere w/livers metabolism of cholesterol
zetia inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol
ethanol ''alcohol'' simple 2 carbon compound,
alcohol production requires microbes (typically yeast), warm conditions, source of simple sugars , typical sugar sources for common beverages are grain, fruit and potatoes
alcohol requires no digestion rapidly absorbed in the mouth esophagus stomach and small intestine
detoxification begins in stomach where alcohol dehydrogenase metabolizes 20% of alcohol consumed
most alcohol is absorbed in small intestine, travels to liver where it is metabolized
2nd pathway for alcohol metabolism (also occurs in the liver) at high doses the livers ability to metabolize alcohol using the dehydrogenase pathway is overwhelmed, under these condtions a 2nd way takes over and it wastes energy in the form of body heat
factors that influence alcohol metabolism gender, prior drinking history
gender and alcohol men have more gastric alcohol dehydrogenase larger livers that can metabolize more alcohol at a time, more water in their bodies, as a result a mans bac rises more slowly than a womens
alcohol dependency 17 %% of men and 8 % of women become dependent on alcohol at some point in their lives
alcohol irritates lining of the GI tract
contributes to ulcers of the esophagus and stomach
chronic alcohol contributes to alcohol pancreatitis
alcohol effects on CNS appear within a few minutes after consumption
alcohol and brain acts as a depressant slowing transmission of messages between nerve cells
alcohol effects on the brain vary and depend on blood alcohol concentration
excessive amounts of alcohol are converted to fatty acids in the liver
fatty liver condition is reversible if the person avoids alcohol
continued alcohol consumption results in fat buildup in liver (destroys liver cells and results in scar tissue)
liver cirrhosis irreversible hardening of the liver
alcohol on cardiovascular system excess consumption can damage cardiac muscle and elevate blood pressure
moderate alcohol use stimulates appetite
excessive alcohol inhibits appetite displaces intake of nutrient dense foods, interferes w.bodies utilization of certain vitamins minearls and fat
alcohol is bot a thirst quencher, it isa diuretic that suppresses the production of ADH
ADH kidneys excrete more urine which is mostly water and certain mineral and vitamins
light to moderate alcohol intakes raise HDL cholesterol, reduces blood levels of fibrinogen and decreases platelet stickiness
what are proteins complex organic molecules composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen
human body contains how many different proteins 200,000

TOO acidic having an excess of H+
TOO BASIC not enough H+
WHAT ARE BUFFERS proteins that keep solution in range
proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids
how many different amino acids in human proteins 20
each amino acid is composed of 3 groups of atoms an amino or a nitrogen containing group (amino group has nitrogen bonded to 2 hydrogen atoms), Rgroup, acid group
R group side chain varies with each amino acid
acid group acid portion
essential amino acids cannot be made by the body so must be supplied in the diet (9 of the 20)
nonessential amino acids can be made by the body (11 of the 20 )
proteins in foods nearly all foods contain some protein but no natural food is 100 % protein
does animal or plant food have more protein animals have more
certain parts of protein contain more protein than others examples seeds , tree nuts, legumes
legumes plants that produce pods w/single row of seed ex.(soybeans peas peanuts lentils)
high quality protein (complete protein) contains all 9 essential amino acids in amounts that support growth, most animal products
high quality plant foods quinoa , and soy
low quality protein (incomplete protein) lacks or has inadequate amounts of 1 or more essential amino acid, most plant foods and gelatin
how your body synthesizes protein cells assemble the 20 amino acids in specific sequences according to info provided by DNA, amino acids are connected by peptide bodys
peptides chains of usually less 15 amino acids
polypeptides more proteins are proteins made of more than 50 amino acids
the hook that connects the beads represent peptide bond
each distinctive bead in illustration represents a different amino acid
hemoglobin molecule 4 polypeptide chains each with an Fe containing unit
denaturation altering a proteins natural shape and function by exposing it to conditions such as these 4 conditions
4 conditions of denaturation heat, alcohol, hydrochloric acid, physical gitation
hydrochloric acid denatures proteins
protein digestion begins in the stomach
pepsin enzyme digests proteins into smaller polypeptides
polypeptides enter the small intestine
the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin break down polypeptides into shorter peptides and individual amino acids
absorptive cells release enzymes that digest most small peptides into individual amino acids
after absorption amino acids enter portal vein and travel to liver
liver and protein after absorption keeps some amino acids for its own use and releases other into general circulation
most proteins are digested and amino acids absorbed so very little protein is eliminated in feces
protein turnover breaking down older unneeded proteins into amino acids and recycling the amino acids
amino acid pool amino acids that have not been incorporated into proteins(endogenous amino acids, exogenous proteins)
endogenous amino acids available from amino acids pools
exogenous proteins from dietary sources
transamination transfer of nitrogen containing group from an unneeded amino acid to a carbon skeleton forming an amino acid
deamination removal of nitrogen containing group from an unneeded amino acid
deamination and Urea formation ammonia (NH3) is converted to urea that the kidneys excrete in urine
nitrogen balance (equilibrium) balancing nitrogen intake with nitrogen losses
positive nitrogen balance body retains more nitrogen that it loses
negative nitrogen balance body loses more nitrogen that it retains
positive nitrogen balance examples during growth, pregnancy , recovery from illness, result of certain hormones resistance exercises
negative nitrogen balance examples occurs with low protein intake kidney disease and blood loss, kidney disease rest burns
daily protein needs of healthy adults RDA=.8 G/KG body wt
allergy inflammatory response resulting when bodys immune system reacts inappropriately to a substance that is typically harmless
allergen the offending substance
most food allergens are proteins that escape digestion and are absorbed as whole proteins
signs that occur w/in minutes or couple of hours and typically include hives, swollen or itchy lips, skn flushing, scaly skin rash, difficulty swallowing wheezing and difficult breathing, abdominal pain vomiting diarhhea
people with family history of food or environmental allergies people who develop food allergies
people who develop food allergies 6 % of children, most children outgrow their allergies by age 5 (not usually nuts seafood and wheat)
3-4 % of adults in us have one or more food allergies
giladin protein found in gluten of wheat buckwheat barley and rye, triggers inflammatory response in small intestine
symptoms of celiacs disease chronic diarrhea, weight loss, poor growth in children
gluten elastic strands of protein found in breads and other dough products
PKU phenylketonuria genetic disorder affects 1/10000 to 1/15000 infants in the US, caused by lack of enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylomanline is another compound, undiagnosed infant will develop mental retardation by 1st birthday
pku people should avoid nuts milk products egg meat foods containing aspartame
my plate recommendations for protein intake choose lean or low fat meat , choose extra lean ground beef
nutrition facts panel only provides ? of protein grams, not provide info concerning protein quality
complementary combos mixing certain plant foods to provide all essential amino acids without adding animal proteins
amino acids often low or limiting in plant proteins tryptophan threonine lysine and methionine
vegetarian children may be difficult to consume adequate protein and energy because plant foods tend to be filling
vegetarian in pregnancy may need vitamin b-12 supplements
vegetarian in breast feeding breast milk may be deficient in b-12 infant may develop severe developmental delays if fed breast milk that lack vitamin b-12
excessive meat intake may increase risk of heart disease and cancers of the colon/rectum and possibly prostate
