Exam 3 Flashcards
What is Energy balance?
is the relationship between energy intake and energy expenditure
When does energy equilibrium occurs?
When the calories consumed from food and beverages (energy intake) match the amount of energy expended
What is positive and negative energy balance?
Negative energy balance results when energy intake is less than energy expenditure.
If energy intake exceeds energy expended, the result is a positive energy balance.
What is Basal metabolism (expressed as basal metabolic rate [BMR])
represents the minimum amount of energy expended in a fasting state (12 hours or more) to keep a resting, awake body alive in a warm, quiet environment.
what is basal metabolism
Minimum amount of energy the body uses to support itself when fasting, resting, and awake in a warm, quiet environment
what is thermic effect of food?
Energy the body uses to digest, absorb, transport, store, and metabolize nutrients.
what is thermogenesis?
Heat production by humans.
The thermic effect of food (TEF)
is the energy the body uses to digest, absorb, transport, store, and metabolize the nutrients consumed in the diet.
Direct calorimetry
estimates energy expenditure by measuring the amount of body heat released by a person.
Indirect calorimetry
, the most commonly used method to determine energy use by the body, involves collecting expired air from an individual during a specified amount of time (Fig. 10-5).
What is —
EER, AGE, PA, WT, HT
EER = Estimated Energy Requirement AGE = Age in years PA = Physical Activity Estimate (see the accompanying table on page 320) WT = Weight in kg (lb ± 2.2) HT = Height in meters (inches ÷ 39.4)
ghrelin
Hormone made by the stomach that increases food intake
leptin
Hormone made by adipose tissue that influences long-term regulation of fat mass.
body mass index (BMI)
is the preferred weight-for-height standard because it is more closely related to body fat content
anorexia nervosa
Eating disorder involving a psychological loss or denial of appetite followed by self-starvation; it is related, in part, to a distorted body image and to social pressures.
Treatment: experience people
average time for recovery from anorexia nervosa is 7 years
bulimia nervosa
Eating disorder in which large quantities of food are eaten at one time (binge eating) and counteracted by purging food from the body, fasting, and/or excessive exercise.
Treatment: decrease the amount of food consumed in a binge session
binge-eating disorder
Eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating and feelings of loss of control over eating.
Metabolism
refers to the entire network of chemical processes involved in maintaining life.
metabolic pathway
A group of biochemical reactions that occur in a progression from beginning to end
what are intermediates.
Compounds formed in metabolic pathway
Anabolic
pathways use small, simpler compounds to build larger, more complex compounds
Ketone bodies
are products of incomplete fatty acid oxidation
Protein metabolism
takes place primarily in the liver…begins after proteins are degraded into amino acids…To use an amino acid for fuel, cells must first deaminate them (remove the amino group)
gluconeogenesis
produce glucose from certain amino acids
Alcohol Metabolism
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) pathway is the main pathway for alcohol metabolism…alcohol is converted in the cytosol to acetaldehyde…., the acetaldehyde formed is converted to acetyl-CoA
what do ATP Concentrations do?
in a cell helps regulate metabolism..High ADP concentrations stimulate energy-yielding pathways
Effects of fasting and feasting
Both fasting and feasting affect metabolism. The form of each macronutrient and the rate at which it is used vary when the calorie supplies are insufficient or exceed needs
what type of drug is Alcohol
narcotic,reduces sensations and consciousness, and a central nervous system depressant.
What chemical is in alcohol we consume?
ethanol
What is standard drink for beer, wine cooler, wine glass, and hard liquor
to a 12-ounce beer, 10-ounce wine cooler, 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5-ounce pour of hard liquor.
How is alcohol absorbed?
by simple diffusion
How is alcohol metabolized?
alcohol is metabolized through a series of reactions called the ADH pathway in stomach…once too much alcohol is consumed MEOS takes over in the liver and then Catalase pathway helps out
What are some benefits to Alcohol intake?
reduced feeling of anxiety and stress… lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, overall mortality, heart disease.
