Lipid break down, your body can breakdown triglycerides as a source of energy. If your body requires energy and glucose isn’t available your adipose tissue begins to breakdown fatty acids into molecules that your cells can use as energy. Lipid breakdown proves important weight loss. Your body uses energy from stored fat to maintain your tissue. So if you lose fatty tissue you lose weight.
It is important to replenish the body as soon as possible because even before an athlete feels thirsty, the earlier signs of dehydration may have already set in (Bucci, L., 1993). Carbohydrates are the body’s most efficient energy source. Over fifty percent of the body’s calorie intake should come from carbs. Carbs are broken down in complex and simple sugars that are used in the body in different ways; if not used immediately the extras are stored in the liver. If too many carbs are being taken in by the body, they are then
Making small adjustments to our daily habits could significantly improve overall human health, and reduce diabetes cases. Another problem related with HFCS is the obesity, and fructose has been identified as part of a biochemical process that leads to weight gain. The average American consume anywhere between 45 to 60 pounds of the syrup a year. Scientists think the high dose of fructose in the blood stream bypasses the digestive process that breaks down other forms of sugar arriving intact to the liver where it causes changes
C. Caffeine can help with weight loss. 1. Caffeine speeds up metabolism, which is in most diet-pills D. Caffeine fights drowsiness 1. Caffeine help you wake up. 2.
Besides the fact that fats are the source of flavor to our food for many of us, fats are the main energy source for our body because a gram of fat obtains more energy than proteins and carbohydrates. A gram of fat contains of 9 calories while proteins and carbs contain only 4 calories per gram. Besides this, fat protects our organs, insulates us and keeps us warm, regulates our hormones. So, why do we want to cut eating foods that fat concentration is high on, despite the fact that fat is good for us? It is needed to be underlined that not all the fats are either good or bad.
(Swann, 2008) The pancreas also makes amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Hypothesis: Most enzymes are very specific for a certain substrate. The active site on the enzyme molecule forms a keyhole into which the substrate fits like a key. The substrate molecule is then broken up into many smaller pieces. “The higher the reaction temperature, the more kinetic
Enzymes are specialized for specific molecules they bind. (interconversion) Cori cycle • In the muscles anaerobic respiration converts glucose into lactate. • Under normal conditions lactate proceeds to the liver and converted to pyruvate and glucose again • If lactate remained in the muscles, there would be a build up of lactic acid causing lactic acidosis. • Also if lactate was to be converted to glucose in the cell, energy expenditure would not be sustainable because muscles spends 6 ATPs (donated by liver) to generates 2 ATPs Aldolase deficiency • Under normal conditions, fructose is converted to fructose1-phosphate (F-1-P) by fructokinase • Fructokinase is then metabolized to DHAP + gluceraldehyde by aldolase B. With deficiency of aldolase B, fructose continues to be converted to F-1-P and results to a build up.
Abstract Breanna What is a starvation diet? A starvation diet is when you drastically cut back on calories. Starvation diets require the body fast and are supposed to make you lose weight really fast. Diets consisting of 800 to 1200 calories are called low calorie diets or starvation diets, whereas meal replacements are limited to 200 to 400 calories. Starvation diets have a very big range on how people use starvation diets and also why they are using starvation diets or low calorie diets.
7/20/2015 7/20/2015 Unit 2 ASSIGNMENT: CHOLESTEROL: A PATIENT CONVERSATION Kaplan University Triglycerides are the main elements of natural fats and oils, and high concentrations in the blood indicate an elevated risk of stroke your physician will test for this while fasting you want this reading to be less than 150. Cholesterol is produced in the liver and makes all the cholesterol you need and circulates it through the blood and comes from foods that have saturated fats Cholesterol when fasting should be under 200 there is HDL "Good cholesterol" Ideally you want this to be between 40 and 60, but the higher the better. HDL transports LDL "Bad cholesterol" to the liver to be destroyed "Bad cholesterol" that builds up on arterial walls. The “Bad Cholesterol” or LDL should be under 100 when fasting. High cholesterol is due to lack of physical activity, diet, being overweight, high blood cholesterol can be hereditary, as well as age and gender can play a role.
Renal Function Tests Background: Kidney function tests are common lab tests used to evaluate how well the kidneys are working. Renal tests can show how quickly body wastes are being removed and whether the kidneys are also leaking abnormal amounts of protein. In this practical serum creatinine, serum urea and urinary protein have been investigated. Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, an important component of muscle. The production of creatinine depends on muscle mass, which varies very little.
