84
Q

mechanisms of absorption

A
  • passive transport (simple diffusion or diffusion through channels)
  • facilitated transport (or facilitated diffusion)
  • active transport
85
Q

passive transport

A
  • movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (“concentration gradient”; always down a gradient)
  • requires no energy from cell
  • molecules must be small enough to pass through the pores of membrane
  • diffusion of water across membrane is osmosis
86
Q

facilitated transport (facilitated diffusion)

A
  • most molecules cannot cross membrane by simple diffusion
  • some carried across by carrier proteins embedded in cell membrane (they change shape when molecules attach to them, the change in shape enables molecule to cross membrane)
  • also occurs down a gradient
  • molecules move in or out of cell
  • requires no energy from the cell
87
Q

active transport

A
  • cells often must move molecules up a concentration gradient (low to high)
  • involves carrier proteins
  • requires ATP
  • carrier proteins act as pumps that use energy to move ions and molecules
88
Q

mechanism of absorption example

A
  • transport of glucose into the villus epithelial cell is by active transport; requires energy ; glucose concentration in cell is greater than in SI
  • transport across the basolateral surface of the cell (into the blood) is by facilitated diffusion; glucose concentration in blood is less than cell

Q

feeding- what happens after you eat?

A

A
  • as a percent of diet, the amount of protein goes down as the animal matures

120
Q

other roles of proteins

A

121
Q

protein digestion

A
  • feed protein (plant and animal sources)
  • proteins are hydrolyzed to AA
  • protein —> AA + di-,tripeptides
  • exception: young animals absorb intact proteins (colostrum and immunoglobulins)
  • proteins do not go into the blood as di-,tripeptides, but they can be absorbed and then broken down before blood
  • born with little to no immunity, so important to get colostrum
  • sows don’t cycle until pigs are weaned
122
Q

protein digestion in stomach

A
  • gastric protease
  • pepsin (from chief cells of fundic gland)
  • pepsinogen –(HCl)-> pepsin
  • diet protein –(pepsin)-> long chain polypeptide
  • rennin (abomasum of nursing calf)
  • prorennin –(HCl)-> rennin
  • casein –(rennin & Ca)-> Ca-paracaseinate (coagulated)
123
Q

protein digestion in small intestine

A
  • proteolytic enzymes secreted from pancreas: trypsin, chymotrypsin, and chymotrypsin
  • trypsinogen –(enterokinase)-> trypsin
  • chymotrypsinogen –(trypsin)-> chymotrypsin
  • procarboxypeptidase –(trypsin)-> carboxypeptidase
  • brush border of villi epithelial cells (amino peptidases: N-terminal end of oligopeptides. Dipeptidases: N-terminal end of dipeptides. Tripeptidases: N-terminal end of tripeptides.

A

two structurally similar AA out of balance (too much of one could result in def of another)

143
Q

fate of AA following following absoprtion

A
  • tissue synthesis
  • synthesis of enzymes and hormones
  • deamination
144
Q

tissue synthesis

A
  • within 5-10 minutes after absoportion AA move from gut to cells where they are used for protein synthesis
  • muscle, veins, brains, bone
145
Q

synthesis of enzymes and hormones

A
  • AA move to cells that secrete enzymes and proteins

- pancreas, GI tract, liver, reproductive organs

146
Q

deamination

A
  • if AA not needed for protein synthesis, then deaminated
  • used for energy or converted to fat
  • no storage pool of AA
147
Q

AA and nutrition

A
  • > 200 AA occur in nature
  • only 20-22 commonly found in most proteins
  • essential AA (also called indispensable)
    • 10 AA either cannot be synthesized or synthesis is inadequate to meet metabolic needs
    • must be supplied in the diet
148
Q

essential (indispensable) AA

A
  • refers to dietary essential; all are tissue essential

- phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, histidine, arginine, leucine, lysine

149
Q

exceptions to 10 essential AA

A
  • chick requires glycine and proline
  • cat requires taurine
  • ruminants have no dietary requirement (microorganisms make them; as far as we know, the ten AA must be provided to the animal’s tussues, enough N and enough energy so they can make them)
150
Q

nonessential (dispensable) AA

A
  • 12+ AA can be synthesized by body cells
  • the 10 essential AA may be precursors for some of the others
  • all 22+ are needed by body tissue
  • alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, serine, tyrosine
151
Q

cannula

A

for testing things leaving the tract where its located (re-entrant or T-cannula)

152
Q

sparing effect of CYS and TYR

A
  • NRC lists MET + CYS requirement, MET can be used to form CYS, but CYS can only meet its own needs.
  • same as PHE + TYR
153
Q

protein requirements for nonruminants

A
  • primary purpose is to suppl essential AA to the tissues for max performance at a minimum cost
  • actually AA nutrition
  • they require AA, not protein
  • but NRC lists CP requirement
154
Q

why a CP requirement then?

A
  • we feed protein to get AA
  • NRC based on corn-SBM diets
  • meets the AA requirements of the most limiting AA (all other AA will be in excess)
155
Q

limiting AA

A
  • animal can perform no better than that allowed by the AA present in the lowest amount relative to the requirement
  • barrel diagram
  • 1st limiting AA is the indispensable AA present in the least amount relative to the requirement
  • if you can synthesize it, it cant be limiting
156
Q

usual order of rate-limiting AA in cereal grains

A
  1. lysine
  2. tryptophan (2nd in corn-SBM diet)
  3. threonine (2nd in other grain based diets)
  4. methionine
  5. isoleucine
    - legumes: methionine is 1st limiting, but also relatively high in lysine
157
Q

requirement for lysine is high

A
  • why does lysine have the highest dietary AA requirement
  • highest concentration in muscle
  • glutamic acid is actually in greatest concentration but can be synthesized
158
Q

AA requirements

A
  • are the net needs for tissue accretion and maintenance or replacement of net losses
159
Q

why use the word “net” for AA requirement

A
  • body proteins constantly turning over
  • utilization of AA for protein synthesis is several times daily intake
  • most AA are efficiently re-utilized
  • some irreversibly lost (lost from AA pool)
  • daily intake requirements reflect only the net needs of AA
  • daily requirement of AA helps replacing lost AA
  • in animals, it goes to replacing lost AA and storing muscle mass
160
Q

does work increase CP/AA requirement?

A
  • work and exercise do not increase requirements
  • turnover rate increases
  • more recycling
  • needs more energy, so just feed more, which inevitably increases the protein anyways
161
Q

what is protein quality?

A
  • refers to the balance of AA to meet the needs of the animal
  • perfect AA balance would equal ~7-8% CP
  • egg is closest to being perfect
  • biological value: measure of protein quality
162
Q

high quality

A

proteins whose AA balance more nearly approximate the needs of the animal

  • generally proteins of animal origins
  • exception is gelatin (no tryp)
163
Q

low quality

A
  • low or lacking in one or more indispensable AA

- plant proteins generally low quality

164
Q

complementary proteins

A
  • corn and SBM complement each other

- Zein: primary protein in corn, practically devoid of lysine and tryptophan

165
Q

Biological value

A
  • % of absorbed N that is retained or utilized by the animal
  • widely used method of expressing protein quality
  • values expressed as a %
  • 100 = perfect AA balance
  • (NI - FN - UN) / (NI - FN) *100 = apparent BV
166
Q

Apparent BV

A

(NI-FN-UN) / (NI-FN) *100

167
Q

Actual BV

A

NI - (FN - MFN) - (UN - EUN) / NI - (FN - MFN)

  • MFN is metabolic fecal nitrogen, and is nitrogen in feces that did not come from diet
  • EUN is endogenous urinary nitrogen and is nitrogen in urine that did not come from the diet
168
Q

PEM

A

protein energy malnutrition

169
Q

kwashiorkor

A
  • edema, fatty liver
  • protein def, but not necessarily energy def
  • eating enough carbs, but feed low in protein
170
Q

marasmus

A
  • skin and bones appearance
  • def in protein and energy
  • underfed
  • starved
171
Q

excess AA

A
  • most diets have excess AA
  • usually not a problem, but possible
  • toxicity: rarely see adverse effects; methionine is most toxic (2.5% of diet, or 5x requirement); other AA have to be 5-10% of diet; growth reduction normally)
  • long term could be kidney problem
172
Q

antagonism

A

growth depression caused by excess amounts of naturally occurring AA that can be corrected by addition of structurally similar AA
