Metabolism 3

Cards (9)

  • energy intake affects energy expenditure:
    • dietary changes to total-body energy stores trigger negative feedback in energy expenditure
    • energy stores decrease = metabolic rate decreases
    • challenge of dietary alterations
    image:
  • MANY factors affect food (energy) intake:
    • psychological, environmental, physiological
    • energy intake affects total-body energy stores
    scarce storage/excess storage:
    • more factors affect food intake (social, cultural, genetic)
    • physical activity offsets the change in metabolic rate
  • endocrine profiles:
    • exercise state is similar to fasted state
    • need to provide glucose to body in large quantities without food
    • why insulin down though?
    • increased sympathetic
    • why does this not affect muscle glucose uptake?
    • internal glucose transporters
  • lack of insulin production

    type I diabetes mellitus
  • two major pathologies
    • lack of insulin sensitivity at target cells
    • lack of insulin secretion from beta cells
    • exercise an effective treatment b/c increases insulin sensitivity
    type II diabetes mellitus
  • most often occurs with untreated type I diabetes
    ketoacidosis
  • affects renal function:
    • ^ glucose in filtrate disrupts osmotic gradient
    • ketones in filtrate too

    ketoacidosis
  • affects pH balancing:
    • decreased insulin = ^ triglyceride breakdown
    • this produces large quantities of acidic ketones
    ketoacidosis
  • results of insulin deficiency:
    • can lead to impaired brain function, coma, death
