16
Q

additional energy in pregnancy include? (2)`

A
  1. energy for growth of new tissue 2. energy to maintain new tissue
17
Q

what is the energy cost of new tissue deposition?

A

these are based on weight gain during pregnancy
- the quantity of protein and fat gained can be converted to kcal, and added to determine the total energy deposition in kcal

18
Q

what is the calculation for PRO and fat deposition during pregnancy?

A

5.6 kcal per g pro, 9.5 kcal fat

19
Q

why is it more than the normal 4kcal/g pro and 9 kcal/g fat?

A

to synthesis into storage forms it requires slightly more energy

20
Q

median increase in TEE throughout pregnancy ?

A

8 kilocalories per week

21
Q

what happens to the increase parameters during pregnancy?

A

TEE increases, BMR increases PAL decreases (generally)

22
Q

what is the EER during pregnancy?

A

the TEE of the non-pregnant women + median change in TEE ( 8kcal/week) + the energy deposition of 180 kcal/day

23
Q

increase in protein requirement in the first trimester?

A

no - bc low deposition of tissue in 1st trimester

24
Q

additional protein requirement EAR and RDA

A

21 g/day and 25 g/day

25
Q

women who eat more what have a lower sis of LBW babies

A

meat, dairy and fish ( low energy or protein are associated with LBW)

26
Q

provision ( supplying ) proteins and energy supplements 5-7 months pre-pregnancy provide??

A

better birth length and higher birth weight

27
Q

omega-6 AI during pregnancy

A

13 g

28
Q

omega-3 AI during pregnancy

A

1.4 g

29
Q

what did study find in the blood in LBW in terms of ETA (mead acid), DHA and Arachidonic

A

high ETA, low DHA and low arachidonic

30
Q

what is mead acid?

A

ETA (eico-sa-tri-enoic acid)

31
Q

what do high levels of ETA indicate

A

a deficiency in both n-3 and n-6 acids

32
Q

describe the relationship between LBW and levels of FA

A

correlation between high levels of ETA, low levels of DHA and arachidonic acid and LBW

33
Q

what do vegetarian diets provide in terms of ration of n-3 and n-6?

A

excess n-6:n-3 ratio ( makes sense, where do they even get there n-3) so in pregnant vegetarians, there were lower levels of DHA (comes from n-3) , but higher levels of arachidonic acid (comes from n-6) in fetus brain

34
Q

DHA comes from

A

n-3

35
Q

AA comes from

A

n-6

36
Q

some (3) adaptations in pregnancy

A

slight ketosis, insulin resistance, less fasting maternal blood glucose??? (is this cause more is going to fetus??–> after a mean = hyperglycaemia, but fasting are lower!)

37
Q

what happens to the RQ during pregnancy ?

A

increases (meaning an increase in glucose utilization)
