chap 4 - carbs Flashcards
3 simple monosacharides
glucose, galactose, fructose
3 disacharrides
Maltose = glu+ glu
Lactose = glu+ gal
Sucrose = glu+ fru
Hydrolysis reaction
break down of disacharride
Condensation reaction
synthesis of disacharride
Oligosacharride
3-10 sugar units “Prebiotics”
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are foods (typically high-fiber foods) that act as food for human microflora. “Oligosacharride”
Probiotics
Probiotics are foods or supplements that contain live microorganisms intended to maintain or improve the “good” bacteria (normal microflora) in the body.
Complex CHO
starch
starch
complex CHO from plant
glycogen
complex CHO from animals
DRI value of CHO in diet
14g/1000kcal
what happens to glucose during its metabolism
its stored as glycogen or fat/LDL
used as energy (*brain *RBC)
makes non-essential amino acids
what happens when blood glucose decreases?
- glucagon is released by pancreas to liver where gycogen is broken down to restore blood glucose levels
- you will also feel hungry when blood glucose is low
what happens when blood glucose increases?
insulin comes from pacreas to tell liver, muscles and fat cells to uptake glucose from the blood
top 3 highest rates for diabetes
- china
- India
- USA
- Canada + most of the world
number of people with diabetes from 1958-2015?
1.6mill ——-> 23 mil
percent of people with diabetes from 1958-2015?
<1% ——–> 7.4% ——–> 19% (2030)
Whos at risk for T2D
45yrs +
> activity
genes
increased BP
gestational diabetes past
overweight
Difference T1D vs. T2D
T1D: (5%)
- B-islet can’t make insulin
- genetic
- young
T2D: (95%)
- obesity & inactivity
- cells ingore insulin (resist)
Treatment: excersize, metaformin, sometimes insulin injections
Glucose tolerace
how well you can remove excess glu from the blood after a meal
Glucose Tolerace Test Steps
- Drink glu
- Blood smaples every 30mins for 2-3hrs
- see how well pacrease responds with insulin
Difference in Glucose tolerance with Normal vs. Diabetes
Normal:
-start at 5 and goes up
-down past equ. and back to 5
Diabetes:
- starts at 7.5
- (takes longer to reachpeak) higher peak (stays at peak longer)
Glycemic Response
Whole grain and Legumes give more stable BL GLU vs. TIME graph
Foods with Frutctose
Honey, Pop, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
