Chapter 4(Part 2) Flashcards
What type of diffusion do through glucose and galactose go through?
facilitated diffusion which requires a carrier
When is lactase activity the highest?
- immediately after birth
- declines with age
Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance
- not enough lactase which means lactose is not digested
- which attracts H20
- causing bloating, abdominal distention, gas, diarrhea
Prevalence of Lactose Intolerance
80% - Southeast Asians and Native Americans
75%-African-Americans
70%- Mediterranean people
50%-Hispanic
20%-Caucasians
10%- Northern Europeans
30-50 million in the U.S.
How to lactose intolerance?
- manage dairy consumption

- increase milk products gradually, take with other foods, or spread out
What kind of products improve lactose intolerance?
-fermented milk products( yogurt, kefir(fermented milk)
What does eating fermented mil products not mean?
-reappearance of a missing enzyme
Why are hard cheeses tolerable?
- because most of the lactose is removed
- lactose declines as cheese ages
Potential Nutrient Deficiencies for Lactose Intolerance
- riboflavin
- Vitamin D
- calcium
Lactose Sources
-breads
-cereals
-breakfast drinks
-salad dressings
-cake mixes
medications
What stores 1/3 of glycogen?
liver
What process happens after meals?
- blood sugar goes up
- condensation links excess glucose into glycogen
What process happens in between meals?
- blood goes down
- hydrolysis breakdown of glycogen for release of glucose when needed
What stores 2/3 of the glycogen?
muscles
What is the preferred source for glucose?
- brain nerve cells
- developing red blood cells
How long do supplies of glucose last?
-lasts 1/2 day during rest
few hours with activity
What can fat not be converted to?
-glucose
Gluconeogenesis
conversion of protein to glucose
What prevents PRO use of energy?
-only adequate dietary CHO intake
Protein Sparing Action of Cho
is providing energy that allows protein to be used for main purposes
With less CHO what happens….
fat takes an alternate pathway
Fat fragments combine to form what
ketones
Ketone Body
formation used as alternated energy source
Ketosis
ketone production exceeds its use, accumulates in blood
-disturbs acid-base balance
