Carbohydrates function/digestion/fermentation/ and transport Flashcards

1
Q

If fructose or any other dissacharide were
Given IV to a hypoglycemic pig, would that
Alleviate the hypoglycemic condition?

A

no it would not, if anything it would make it worse as the fructose cannot be broken down

Q

pros of dietary fiber

A

increases water in gut
decreases blood lipids and cholesterol
carcinogens
creates a slow rate of glucose absorption

Q

cons to dietary fiber

A

concern with ionic charges of fiber binding to vit. and minerals
increase fiber= increase in H2O consumption
can cause boating if no water
too much too fast= diarrhea

Q

function of carbohydrates

A
  1. energy-primary func.
  2. Regulation- glucose
  3. structural- glucose excess as fat

Q

Factors affecting Glucose Absorption

A
  1. reduced by short-term fasting
  2. increased by chronic restriction of food intake
  3. Endocrine connections- decrease absorption
19
Q

what happens if you remove the thyroid

A

controls metabolism

20
Q

removing of ovaries

A

increasing androgens

21
Q

remove adrenal gland

A

adrenaline and cortisol

22
Q

why does the body want/need glucose

A

blood sugar

23
Q

what hormones control homeostasis

A

insulin and glucagon

24
Q

common issues with blood glucose

A

diabetes, hypoglycemia

25
early signs of diabetes in dogs
``` excessive urination excessive thirst hunger weight loss with normal app elevated blood glucose glucose in the urine ```
26
fly disease
large quantities of glucose in urine, can be an indication of diabetes
27
ketoacidosis
breakdown in the liver of fat to ketones in response to starvation
28
ketoacidosis result
depression, vomiting, collapse, come, death
29
glycogenesis
blood glucose to glycogen
30
glycogenolysis
glycogen to glucose
31
glycolysis
breakdown sugars to pyruvate and energy EM pathway
32
gluconeogenesis
make glucose from lipid and non-CHO sources
33
high blood glucose is from
insulin from beta cells, targets liver, skeletal and fat tissues
34
Beta cells
absorb glucose from blood , lower blood glucose to homeostasis
35
low blood glucose is from
glucagon from alpha cells, that targets liver
36
alpha cells
liver releases glycogen to glucose or gluconeogenesis | impact- increase blood glucose to homeostasis
37
glucokinase
rate limiting enzyme for glycolytic pathway
38
function of insulin
inhibit glycogenolysis inhibit gluconeogenesis stimulate glycolysis Lowers blood glucose
39
function of glucagon
enhance glycogenolysis enhance glycogenesis inhibit glycolysis increase blood glucose
40
function of epinephrine
stimulate glycogenolysis | increase blood glucose
41
how to control blood sugar levels
1. exercise regularly 2. control "strach-based" carb intake 3. increase dietary fiber 4. drink water 5. implement portion control 6. foods low glycemic index 7. control stress
42
controlling blood sugar cont.
8. monitor sugar levels 9. Quality sleep 10. eat foods high in Cr. Mg 11. apple cider vinegar 12. cinnamon extract 13. Berberine 14. Fenugreek seeds 15. lose weight
43
where does the Krebs cycle occur
in the mitochondria
