Sucrase: Cleaves sucrose to produce fructose and glucose
Lactase: Cleaves lactose to produce galactose and glucose
Lipid absorption
Come into smallintestine as a micelle, come out as chylomicrons, go into lymph
Lipoproteins
Chylomicrons: Largest, triglycerides is the largest constituent
Verylow-densitylipoprotein: Second largest, triglycerides is the largest constituent, made in liver
Low-density lipoprotein: Second smallest, cholesterol is the largest constituent
High-densitylipoprotein: Smallest, protein is the largest constituent
Bile
Helps to emulsify lipid droplets, made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder
Catabolic reactions
Process of breakingdown complex macromolecules into simple molecules (CO2, H2O, and ammonia)
Anabolic reactions
Process of buildingup complex molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids
Insulin
Drops blood glucose
Glucagon
Increases blood glucose
GLUT4 translocation
Increased by insulin and muscle contraction
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Cells can't take in glucose, therefore fatty acids are the primary energy source. Ketones are produced by excess lipolysis/beta oxidation formed by coA
Criteria for diabetes diagnosis: HbA1C (glycosylated hemoglobin) >= 6.5% (>= 48 mmol x mol^-1)
Glycemic index
Ratio of blood glucose in response to food compared to a reference food like white bread (quality of food)
Glycemic load
Measures both quality and quantity of carbohydrates taken in during a meal
Essential amino acids
Phenyalanine
Valine
Tryptophan
Theronine
Isoleucine
Methonine
Histinine
Arginnie
Lysine
Leucine
Complete proteins
Animal proteins that contain all 9 essential amino acids
Complementary proteins
Combinations of plant-based proteins (grains and legumes, grains and vegetables, nuts & seeds and legumes, nuts & seeds and vegetables) that together provide all 9 essential amino acids
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Lean tissue is more electrically conductive (less resistant) and travels faster, fat tissue gives greater resistance and travels slower. Hydration and dehydration can affect the reading
Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
Measures bone density (thickness, density, chemical composition). Attenuation of X-ray is different for bone, lean tissue, and fat tissue
Skinfold test
The amount of subcutaneous fat is proportional to a person's total body fat
Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
Scale used to measure exercise intensity based on how hard the body feels like it is working
Energy systems
1. PCr system: Enzyme is creatine kinase, time limited to 10-15 seconds
2. Glycolysis: Produces ATP from glucose, time limited to 2-3 minutes
Fuel used at rest, time until FAs kick in during exercise
