Goljan 7 Nutrition Flashcards
basal metabolic rate
most impt factor in determining daily energy expenditureincreased in hyperthyroiddecreased in hypothyroid
Carb digestion
begins in the mouth4 kcal/g
disaccharidases
produce glucos, galactose, fructose
amino acids
substrates for gluconeogenesis
protein digestion
begins in the stomach, pepsin and acid
essential FA’s
linolenic (o-3), linoleic (O-6) acids
fat digestion
begins in small intestinepancrease –> bile salts/acids –> intestinal cells
kwashiorkor
inadequate protein intakepitting edema is characteristicfatty liver - decreased apoB synthesis; VLDL synthesis
marasmus
total calorie deprivationextreme muscle wasting is common
anorexia nervosa
distorted body imagesecondary amenorrhea; osteoperosisventricular arrythmia is most common cause of death
bulimia volmitin
produces hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
obesity
abdominal visceral fat is most importantincreased adipose causes decreased synthesis of insulin receptors
leptin
hormone that maintains energy balance (intake and output)leptin gene is often defective in obesity
beta carotenemia
yellow skin, white sclera
Vitamin A
vision, cell differentiation, growth/reproductionnight blindness is first sign of deficiency
vit A in treatment
acne, acute promyelocytic leukemia
sunlight
major source of vit Dliver and kidney hydroxylationbone mineralization; maintain serum calcium and phosphorus
renal failure
most common cause of vit D deficiency
Vit E
cell membrane antioxidant
decreases synthesis of vitamin K- dependant coag factors
vit K
K = Klotting
majority synthesized by colonic bacteria
gamma carboxylates II, VII, IX, X - newborns need injection
