homeostasis, protein and functions Flashcards
glycosuria
sugar in urine
polyuria
excessive urination
polydipsea
excessive thirst
major deficiencies for CHO
diabetes mellitus- hyperglycemia
ketosis- hypoglycemia
diabetes
disease in which the body ability to produce/respond to insulin is impaired
type 1 diabetes
autoimmune reaction of the body destroying the cells in pancreas that make insulin which leads to little to no secretion of insulin
type 2 diabetes
body does not use insulin correctly and the cells in body does not respond to insulin resulting in the increase of insulin accumulation in body
this increases blood sugar
when does gestational diabetes occur
occurs when the body cannot make enough insulin during pregnancy
oral glucose tolerance test
measures bodies ability to use glucose, can diagnose diabetes and gestational diabetes
high blood glucose causes damages to capillaries in
kidney, heart, eyes, nervous system
if high blood glucose levels are left untreated it can cause
heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage
low fat + high carb diet =
fewer deaths from diabetes
what is dietary restriction and what does it correlate with
is a reduction of specific or total nutrient intake and there is a positive correlation between life and health span with dietary restrictions
placental lactogen
changes mothers metabolism to increase glucose for baby
diabetes in animals
the pancreas is unable to secrete enough or any insulin to allow the glucose to leave the bloodstream
diabetes in animals
the pancreas is unable to secrete enough or any insulin to allow the glucose to leave the bloodstream
how to tell forage maturity
immature plants have less lignin and maturing plants have high lignin
cell walls
cellulose , hemicellulose and lignin
cell solubles
starches, sugars and digestible fractions
acid detergent fiber determines what and by measuring what?
digestibility of fiber measuring lignin and cellulose
neutral detergent fiber determines what and measures what?
measure fiber intake by measuring lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose
how to tell is grass is mature or immature
no seed heads or seed heads
