QuestionAnswer
why must glucose levels be maintained at all times? because the brain depends on GLUCOSE AS IT ENERGY SOURCE. fuel fatty acids and used for energy
How are the nutrients transported and stored? the body must store nutrients during periods of FOOD intake. THEN BREAKDOWN stores between periods of meals
Explain the concepts of negative energy balance and positive balance. Negative balance Energy intake < energy output Need to obtain energy from stores
Explain the concepts of negative energy balance and positive balance. Positive balance Energy intake > energy output Energy in excess of output gets stored
Energy Input ENERGY UTILIZATION + ENERGY OUT the energy content of a nutrient is usually expressed in calories per gram of the substance burned.
Energy Output energy released during oxidation or other catabolic reactions takes two forms: heat and work.
basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure of a person who is awake, is lying down, is physically and mentally relaxed, and has fasted for at least 12 hours. REPRESENTS RWEQUIREMENT FOR PUUMPING BLOOD AND TRANSPORTING IONS
Which cell types stores most glycogen in the body glucose
What is the fate of any excess glucose in the liver? stored in the liver, muscle, and fat cells and convert to energy storage molecules.
What is a VLDL? Convert glucose to fatty acids, then to triglycerides which are packaged into very low density lipoproteins (VLDL); and transported to body cells and adipose tissues.
Compare and contrast absorptive and post-absorptive state: Absorptive state 3–4 hours following meal Nutrients in bloodstream plentiful from absorption
Compare and contrast absorptive and post-absorptive state: Postabsorptive Between meals Energy stores must be mobilized
primary energy source Absorptive state :GLUCOSE
Metabolism During the Postabsorptive State Within a few hours Primarily a catabolic state Energy input < output Glucose spared for nervous system Other tissues use fatty acids or other sources for energy Stored nutrients broken down and mobilized
Metabolism During the Absorptive State anabolic state the majority of reaction involves synthesis of macromolecules Energy input > output as nutrients absorbed Glucose = primary energy source for cell Excess nutrients taken are stored Liver and muscle store glycogen
Carbohydrates consumed in many diff forms, monosaccharides, glucose Usable carbohydrates Glucose = energy Glycogen = stores energy Polysaccharides to membranes Inside cells, glucose can be oxidized for energy or be converted to glycogen for storage.
lipid process of catabolizing fats for energy is a little more complex than with carbohydrates or proteins.
Triglycerides Triglycerides are transported into the bloodstream in lipoproteins (which are small protein- and-lipid-containing particles). Once they reach their target cells, lipids must leave the lipoprotein before they can enter inside the cells.
Lipoprotein lipase is the enzyme that will break down the triglyceride into fatty acids and monoglycerides;
The fatty acids are then taken up by nearby cells, and the monoglycerides remain in the bloodstream and are eventually metabolized in the liver/
fatty acids may be oxidized for energy or combined with glycerol to form a brand new triglyceridewhich would be stored as fat droplets in the cytosol in adipocytes.
proteins amino acids rather than whole proteins are transported in the bloodstream.
Amino acids once in the cell can be used for making proteins, or can be catabolized for energy by proteolysis
Catabolism of cellular proteins to generate energy, in starvation only.
hormonal regulation (insulin vs. glucagon)
10. Can glycogen in a skeletal muscle fiber be used by that fiber? Can it be used for other skeletal muscle fibers? Can it be used to elevate blood glucose? And why? No, No , the glucose formed by glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle reamins in the cell
11. What is the primary energy source for brain in a daily life? And in starvation? Glucose , proteins
12. What is the normal blood glucose level 70–100 mg/dL
What is hyPERglycemia glucose > 140 mg/dL; often indicative of diabetes mellitus
HyPOglycemia? glucose < 60 mg/dL
13. What are the actions of insulin? Think about 3 nutrients: CHO, lipid, and proteins. BUILD UP ENERGY STORES AND BREAK DOWN GLUCOSE FOR ENERGY STORAGE BY GLUCONEOGENISIS
14. How does insulin decrease plasma glucose level? Increase glucose uptake by cells deacrease catabolism
15. What are the actions of glucagon Mobilization of energy stores Glycogenolysis Lipolysis & Synthesize of new energy sources Gluconeogenesis Catabolic hormone
How does glucagon increase plasma glucose levels? Increase gluconeogenesis & glycogenolysis in liver. 2). Increasing lipolysis in adipose tissue.  
16. What factors increase the secretion Glucagon? Secretion increases during postabsorptive state Sympathetic nervous system Epinephrine
Insulin factors in secretion Secretion increases in absorptive state Increase glucose in plasma Increase amino acids Parasympathetic Nv Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)
17. What are the effects of growth hormone? on in children GH on bone, cartilage and soft tissue results from the actions of SMATOMEDINS
How does growth hormone promote growth? Promote growth Increases cell size (hypertrophy) Increases cell number (hyperplasia) Increase size of some cells Increase bone length and thickness
What are the effects of growth hormone on metabolism? DEACREASE GLUCO, FATTY ACIDS & AMINO ACIDS INCREASE GHRH, SLEEP , EXCERSISE, STRESS AND CIRCADIAN RYTHEM
define insulin-like growth factors (somatomedins). Which organ secretes it? LIVER
19. What factors stimulate growth hormone secretion? GHRH in hypothalamus stimulates GH release from anterior pituitary GHIH (somatostatin) inhibits GH release SLEEP, EXCERSISE, STRESS, CIRCADIAN RYTHM
20. Which one is the most abundant form of thyroid hormone secreted into blood: T3 or T4? T4
Which one is the most potent on the tissue: T3 or T4? T3
21. What are the actions of thyroid hormones? Also, think about its permissive and synergistic effects with growth hormone and sympathetic system. raise the body’s BMR increase the rate of oxygen consumption and energy Increase heat production: calorigen stimulating energy utilization, increase energy mobilization. lycogenolysis;.,lipolysis, protein synthesis
22. What is the stress hormone? cortisol
23. What are the actions of cortisol? Mobilizes energy stores Cortisol suppresses immune response Increases gluconeogenesis; Decreases uptake of glucose, amino acids, and protein synthesis. Consequence: plasma concentrations of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids rise.
