        Help!  

Question
Answer
Protein in US diet   2/3 come from poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy products. More money more animal protein.  
🗑
Plants and Animals   protein, B vitamins, minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium  
🗑
Building Blocks of Protein   Amino Acid - central carbon bound to hydrogen (amino group)  
🗑
Where do essential amino acids come from   Diet and can not be synthesized by human body in amounts that meets the needs  
🗑
Transamination   when a non essential amino acid is not available from the diet, the body then produces the amino acid not available.  
🗑
Peptide bonds   chemical bonds that link amino acids together formed by amino acids and nitrogen.  
🗑
Dipeptide   bond between 2 amino acids  
🗑
polypeptide   bond between many amino acids  
🗑
Protein   made up of many polypeptides and folded into a 3-dimensional shape  
🗑
Elongated Protein Shape   connective tissue proteins & collagen  
🗑
Spherical Protein Shape   hemoglobin- needs protein to move oxygen (iron)  
🗑
Altered protein shape   function is disrupted  
🗑
Digestion of Protein   peptides bonds move to the mucsosa cells and are broken down into amino acids  
🗑
Absorption of Protein   amino acids travel from mucosa cells --> blood---> liver  
🗑
How many Kcals in Protein   4 Kcals  
🗑
Protein digestion and allergies   protein is absorbed w/o complete digestion and can cause anaphylaxis. Soy, milk, eggs, nuts, wheat, shellfish, and peanuts are most common.  
🗑
Most important organ for amino acid metabolism   Liver  
🗑
What happens when proteins are not metabolized properly   ammonia build up  
🗑
Protein Function   speed up metabolic reactions, move substances in/out of cells (protein channel) , immune system (plasma proteins, contracts muscles, hormones are chemical messengers (insulin glucagon), regulate fluid and acid base balance  
🗑
Kwashoirkor   Protein deficiency, swollen belly  
🗑
Marasmus   Protein and energy deficiency, depletion of fat and wasting of muscles  
🗑
PEM- Protein-energy malnutrition   describes protein and protein/energy deficiency  
🗑
Protein Excess   long periods of excess can cause: hydration and kidney problems, bone health issues, kidney stones, increased risk of heart disease and cancer, liver can be damaged from overload.  
🗑
PKU Phenulketonuria   Inherited through defective gene, also comes from aspartame ( sugar substitute).  
🗑
MSG - Monosodium Glutamate   MSG contains glutamate bound to sodium, Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Symptoms- flushed face, tingling or burning sensations, headache, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and general weakness  
🗑
Nitrogen balance healthy individual   nitrogen in = nitrogen out  
🗑
Nitrogen balance for elderly/ill   Nitrogen in < Nitrogen out  
🗑
Nitrogen balance for pregnancy/body builder   Nitrogen in > Nitrogen out  
🗑
Protein requirements   .8g/kg body weight, Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range 10-35% of energy for adults, increase for pregnancy, growth, and lactation.  
🗑
Protein Complementation   Balance is key and variety important rice + beans will = amount of protein needed.  
🗑
Vegan   NO animal  
🗑
Lactovegetarian   NO animal but will consume dairy  
🗑
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian   NO animal but consume eggs and dairy products  
🗑
Pescetarian   NO animal but will consume fish  
🗑
Semivegetarian   NO red meat but will consume chicken, fish, and dairy.  
🗑
