Water Soluble Fibers

Water Insoluble Fibers

Definition

Soluble: delay stomach emptying & chyme transfer, decreases absorption of fat & cholesterol by binding to bile acids, feeling of fullness, lowers postprandial (after meal) blood glucose.

 

Insoluble: accelerate transit on chyme in stomach, increase flushing, increase loss of cholesterol

 

 

Term
Why are proteins essential?
Definition
they supply essential AA, and N.
Term

where is protein dynamic equilibrium turnover

high?

low?

Definition

high: intestine, liver, pancreas,kidney,plasma

low: muscle and brain tissue

Term

Nitrogen Balance

+

-

Definition

every 6.25g protein consumed, 1g of N excreted.

N intake/N excreted

+: growing

-: stress/bad protein intake

Term
Why are Lipids important?
Definition

to act as a vehicle for fat soluble vitamins

supply essential fatty acids.

 

Linolenic Acid: Omega 3

Linoleic, arachidonic: Omega 6

 

 

Term
why are essential fatty acids... essential?
Definition
used a precursors to make Leukotrienes, Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes (local hormones)
Term

Fats (lets hear it for fat chicks)

Polyunsaturated

Fish Oil

Definition

Polyunsaturated fats: omega 6  from vegetables, lowers plasma, and LDL

Fish Oil: omega 3.

antiarrhythemia (high slope & saturation of effect),

lowers HR&BP (low slope & saturation of effect) triglyceride lowering  (linear dose to effect)

Antithrombosis (very low slope exponential dose to effect)

 

Term
Messing with fats
Definition

Processed: Antioxidants added to ↑ shelf life. + BHA/BHT/Vitamins C&E


Hydrogenated: to change food texture, lowers polyunsaturated fat content, unhealthy

 

Trans Fatty Acids: Cis= natural, trans= unnatural (think transgenders).  produced during hydrogenation.  trans more stable, but raise LDL, lower HDL (as bad as saturated)

Term

Good Fat

Bad Fat

(some chubby chicks are cute, others... not so much)

Definition

Good:

monounsaturated (LDL, ↓HDL)

polyunsaturated O-6(LDL, ↓HDL)

polyunsaturated O-3 little effect on LDL/HDL.  ↓ chance of sudden cardiac death 

Bad:

saturated (↑LDL)

trans fats (↑LDL, ↓HDL)

Term
long term lack of intake of what AA will result in a (-) nitrogen balance?
Definition
Tyrosine
Term
What molecule does the body use to store energy?
Definition

fats, since the body can't store much proteins or carbs.

(fats are denser than muscle, because muscles also store water)

Term
what is diverticulosis?
Definition
pouches in colon, prevented by insoluble fiber
Term

Albunin

 

Definition
low albunin = malnutrition
Term
what happens if excess protein is digested?
Definition
excess turned into glucose & fats, N excreted as urea
Term
Omega6 and omega3
Definition

both are polyunsaturated

recommended 2:1.  most Americans 25:1
