__ kcal/g
4 “fuel factor”
glycogen is storage form of??
carbs incytosol
Ketone?
multiple hydroxy groups
energy storage ?
coenzymes, RNA, DNA
Levoratory configuration of asymmetric carbon farthest from keto group
OH on the left
Levo=Left
Dextrorotatory configuration of asymmetric carbon farthest from keto group
OH on the Right
Dextro=Right
simple carb??
sugars with 1 or 2 single sugars
complex carb??
many sugar units
sorbitol is??
sugar alcohol from glu & converted into fru
found: berries, cherries, plums, pears
used: to make sweeteners- excess can cause diarrhea
polysaccharides??
complex CHO’s made of many single sugar units
oxidation means?
increasing positive charge or loss of negative charges
reduction means??
additionof hydrogen
gain of electrons
OIL RIG
oxidized is lost
reduced is gain
prebiotic in vivo=
fructans
10 grams = how many kcal?
40kcal
what hormones raise blood glucose?
glucagon EPI glucocorticoids thyroxine GH
catabolic pathways?
glycolysis
pyruvate oxidation
citric acid cycle
oxidative phosphorylation
catabolic pathways depend on?
conc. of ATP, ADP, & AMP
- if ATP is high, then the pathways are low\
- if ATP is low then the pathways are activated
CHO bonds are__?
glycosidic alpha-digestible beta-indigestible straight chain-1-4 branched chain 1-6
monosaccharides ex:
glucose; 6 carbons; Aldose; dextrose, corn syrup
Fructose; 6 carbons; Ketose; fruits, honey
Ribose; 5 carbons; Aldose; nucleic acids
Sorbitol; fruits, honey
Mannitol; pineapples, olives, sweet potatoes
Disaccharides & oligosaccharide ex:
Maltose; alpha1-4; glu + glu
lactose; beta1-4; glu + gal
sucrose; a-b 1-2; glu + fru
trehalose; alpha 1-6; isomaltose; mushrooms, yeast
polysaccharides ex:
cellulose; b1-4; fiber
amylose (linear); a1-4; plant starch
amylopectin; a1-4>a1-6; plant starch; branch every 24-30 glu
glycogen; a1-4>a1-6; animal strach; branch every 8-12 glu
non-cellulose polysaccharides
abosrb water, swell, slow emptying of food mass
bind bile acids to chol.
sources: hemicelluose, pectins, gums, mucilages, algal (seaweed)
ligin?
only non-carb type of dietary fiber (from woody part of plant)
carbs are digested in?
mouth-ptyalin starch>dextrins>maltose
none in stomach
SI breaks down carbs using enzymes: sucrase, lactase, maltase etc.
most abundant GAG?
chondroitin
Glut 2=
liver, kidney, beta cells
transports are coupled with sodium
Glut 4=
adipose, skeletal, cardiac
sensitive to insulin
