Energy drinks: module 4
psychoactive drugs
ability to cross into the brain
what is the main function of vitamins
to manufacture coenzymes
taurine
-Amino acid in energy drinks, that assista in digestion and processing of some minerals in the body and acts as an antioxident. helps with the treatment of cardiovascular disease. some studies say it increases athletic preformance.
Niacin
Vitamin B in energy drinks water soluble . is used in the production of the coenzyme NAD+ (nicotinamine adenine dinucleotide), this helps in moving the electrons in the electron transport chain
water soluble vitamins
Vitamins B and C, not stores in the body for long periods of time, need to be regularly replaced in the body, excess quantity of these vitamins are excreted in the urine
adenosine
a neurotransmitter that causes drowsiness and the slowing of nerve cells. Caffeine is an antagonist that blocks the transmission of adenosine keeping us awake
vitamin
are organic molecules that assist enzymes in chemical reactions
how does caffine affect the body
being a stimulant it activated the central nervous system. it is a phycoactive drug and it blocks the ability of the receptors to recognize adenosine.
what ingredien makes energy drinks work the most
caffine
how does niacin work in cellular respiration
component od NAD+ coenzyme and is a type of vitamin b
how is riboflavin used in cellular respiration
component of FAD coenzyme and is a type of vitamin b
dietary sources of vitamin b12
diary products fish poultry
dietary sources of biotine
eggs, soybeans, butter
Phenylalanine
essential amino acid in energy drinks no known influence on metabolism used in the manufature of protiens
two categories of vitamins
fat soluble and water soluble
all b vitamins but which have some interaction with energy pathways
folic acid
glucuronic acid
food additive in energy drinks produced as a by-product of the breakdown of glucose in the liver. helps reduce fatiuge in some, may interact with caffine
malic acid
food additive in energy drinks, an intermediate of the the citric acid cylce produces druing the breakdown of carbohydrates/ glucose. could be used to treat fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
how does caffine interact with metabolic pathways
increases your metabolic rate thus making you produce more energy. causes the brain to produce hormones that release fatty acid chains from the adipose tissue that then enter cellular respiration and made into ATP. it also blocks some metabolic pathways that increase in blood glucose levels which allows cells to increase energy production
coenzymes
interact directly with enzymes either by making a reaction to occur or by making an interaction between the enzyme and the substrate more efficient.
Are vitamins used for energy?
no
tyrosine
nonessential amino acid in energy drinks that is involved in transimitting nerve impulses. the body make suffient quantities.
dietary sources of pantothenic acid
nuts beans leafy greens
dietary sources of riboflavin
nuts dairy products whole grain cereals
dietary sources of vitamin b1
nuts seeds whole grain cereals
dietary sources of niacin
poultry beans leafy green veggies
Citicoline
stimulant in energy drinks involved in brain function know to be a dtimulant for central nervous system helps in the formation of brain tissue
Caffine
stimulant in energy drinks, natural chemical producded by plants. it is both wtaer souble and fat soluble. is rapidly absorbed by the body and also across rhe plasma membrane into cells
metabolic rate
the amount of energy generated by the body to maintain metabolic functions
how does vitamin b6 work in cellular respiration
the breakdown of nutirents
how does vitamin B12 interact in cellular respiration
the conversion of fats and protiens that enter cellular respiration. in the glycosis stage
how do energy drinks provide energy
the have ingredients that interact with our metabolic pathways
what is interesting about energy drinks
the provide energy but not in the form of organic nutrients
how do vitamin b wirk in cellular respiration
they wok wih coenzymes such as riboflavin or niacin or in the conversion and metabolism of energy nutirents so they can enter these pathways
how does vitamin B1 work in cellular respiration
this is also called thiamine, metabolism of glucose and amino acids
how does biotin work in cellular respiration
transfers of carbon dioxide . fat and amino acis metabolism and is a type of vitamin b
hwo does pantothenic acid work in cellular respiration
used to make acetyl CoA a type of vitamin b
vitamin b6
vitamin b in energy drinks water soluble
folic acid
vitamin b in energy drinks water soluble involved in the building of new cells like red blood cels and muscle cells. not known to increase alertness, metabolic effiency, or physicla performance
vitamin b12
vitamin b in energy drinks, water soluble
Fat soluble vitamins
vitamins A, D, E, K. they are stored in adipose tissue in our bodies
what are the two categories for the contents of energy drinks
vitamins and minerals, and energy blend
what do energy drinks contain
vitamins, food additives, and stimulants
Dietary sources of vitamin b6
whole cereal grains, beans bananas
