Protein balance

- Nitrogen intake - nitrogen loss - Intake > loss: positive nitrogen balance • Growth, recovery from injury, trauma, or illness • Building and repairing tissues - Loss > intake: negative nitrogen balance • Untreated illness or injury - Loss = intake: nitrogen equilibrium • Healthy adult

Carbohydrate High Fiber:

-(>50-60g) -Hard, dry stools; decreased absorption; inadequate calories

Long Term Impacts of Intoxication- Chronic Damage to Cells

-Alcohol is highly toxic and can kill cells quickly -Acetaldehyde is also toxic and a probable carcinogen --->Long term exposure in the liver causes damage -Metabolism produces reactive forms of oxygen (oxygen radicals) damages DNA and lipids --->Damage to cell membranes kills the cell --->Damage to DNA causes apoptosis (programed cell death) or cancer

ALCOHOL Absorption

-Alcohol requires no digestion, specific transport mechanisms or receptors -Stomach absorbs 20 % via simple diffusion, remainder in small intestine. -If ingested with food, especially high fat foods, absorption is slowed -Alcohol is found wherever water is distributed in the body --->Easily moves through cell membranes, damaging the proteins in membranes

Diabetes

-Fasting blood glucose level at or above 126 mg/dl -Hemoglobin A1c level at or above 6.5% Two main forms of diabetes: -type 1 -type 2

protein Digestion

-Goal: digest to amino acids to be absorbed• Cooking starts to denature proteins Mouth: no protein digestion Stomach -Hydrochloric acid denatures --->Gastrin (hormone) -Pepsinogen + HCl —>pepsin (enzyme) -Proteins —> polypeptides Small Intestine -Cholecystokinin (CCK) --->Hormone that stimulates release of enzymes ----->Polypeptides—>shorter peptides and amino acids Large intestine -No protein digestion

Glucose intolerance

-Type 1 Diabetes; Type 2 Diabetes -Abnormal regulation of blood glucose levels Hyperglycemia -More common -High blood glucose levels -Commonly associated with diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Hypoglycemia -Low blood glucose levels

Why are "Good Cholesterol" or "Bad Cholesterol" in quotations ?

-We are actually talking about LIPOPROTEINS not cholesterol -We need both -->But we want LDL-C to be lower and HDL-C to be higher to decrease risk of heart disease

Lipid absorption

-~95% of fat consumed is absorbed --->End products are absorbed by the cells in the small intestine -Short and medium chain FAs --->Water soluble ---->Absorbed directly into the bloodstream (cardiovascular system) ----->—>Liver -Long chain FAs - Lipoproteins -->Water insoluble -->Not absorbed directly into the bloodstream -->Re-formed into triglycerides in the cells in the small intestines

major types of carbohydrates

1. Monosaccharides 2. Disaccharides 3. Oligosaccharides 4. Polysaccharides

Recommended intake of carbohydrates: AMDR: ? R D A is ? Supplies adequate ... for brain and central nervous system Carbohydrates in our diets should include mostly: ...

AMDR: 45-46% total energy intake R D A is 130 g/day Supplies adequate glucose for brain and central nervous system Carbohydrates in our diets should include mostly: -Fiber rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains -Little added sugars and caloric sweeteners

Very- High Fiber Diets

Above 50 to 60 g/day can cause health risks. Hard, dry stools if fluid intake is low Hemorrhoids,rectal bleeding,intestinal blockage Decrease in absorption of minerals (zinc, iron) Increasing risk of deficiencies Special concern for young children, elderly, malnourished May not be getting adequate amounts of foods and nutrients May cause a sense of fullness and reduce overall intake of foods

Alcohol Metabolism: 3 Pathways

Absolute priority is to metabolize alcohol cannot be stored in the body 3 pathways: Alcohol dehydrogenase (A D H) pathway Microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) Catalase pathway

Protein Absorption

Active absorption -Requires energy Amino acids delivered to cells around the body as needed Unused amino acids go to liver -Protein synthesis -Energy needs -Conversion to glycogen and fat -Released back into the blood stream

Health concerns related to carbohydrates intake:

Adequate intake of carbohydrates is important for: -Maintaining health -Decreasing risk of chronic disease Excessive intakes can be harmful to overall health

alcohol absorption

Alcohol is absorbed in the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream

Essential fatty acids

Sources of protein: US vs. Global

American diet -65% animal sources (meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, eggs) Worldwide -35% animal sources

Indigestible carbohydrates

Beta bonds Functions: Insoluble Bristle brush - keeps things clean and moving Soluble Gummy -- feeds bacteria, binds to cholesterol, and slows down absorption of sugar

Short Term Impacts of Intoxication

Brain: Slows down the chemicals and pathways your brain uses to control your body, altering mood, reflexes and balance. It also can contribute to learning, memory, and sleep problems. Heart: Increases your heart rate and expands your blood vessels, making more blood flow to the skin (which causes you to feel warm), however, this heat passes through the skin, causing temperature to fall after it has risen. Digestive: Promotes an increase in digestive juices. Alcohol also irritates the small intestine and colon where it is further broken down and absorbed. It can affect the speed that food moves through them, which may result in abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Kidney: Alcohol is a diuretic , impacting hormones that regulate fluid and electrolyte balance

Sterols

Cholesterol is the primary dietary sterols -Both plants and animals have sterols -Only animal products have cholesterol --->Our bodies make cholesterol in our liver --->WE DO NOT NEED TO EAT CHOLESTEROL --->We may make too much cholesterol if we eat too much saturated fat, trans fats, or too many calories -Cholesterol functions --->Bile acids --->Sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen) --->Vitamin D --->Cell membranes --->Steroid hormones -Reproduction, energy metabolism, electrolyte balance
