Q

What are 5 ways energy is stored in our bodies?

A
  1. ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
  2. PCr (phosphocreatine) - Stored in muscle and converted to ATP when needed.
  3. Carbohydrate
  4. Fat
  5. Protein
  • ATP and PCr are good for short bursts of energy.
  • CHO, fat, and protein can be metabolized to ATP and PCr for energy but it takes more time.

Muscle triglycerides, blood NEFAs (Fat)

Amino acids, minor source of energy (Protein)

33

How do you calculate your maximum heart rate?

A

220 - age = MHR

34
Q

Reasons for fatigue during exercise:

A

Table 3.10

Branched chain amino acids-we use L form so D form would be product contamination. Not as good for body.

35
Q

What are some nutritional strategies to delay fatigue when exercising?

A

Remember, training makes us use these nutrient more efficiently. Also, training makes more mitochondria make more energy using aerobic methods.

36
Q

A

Volume of CO2 produced / Volume of O2 being consumed.

CHO-

Fat-

Protein-

37
Q

How does the sympathetic nervous system affect hunger?

A

When activity increases - signals to stop eating

When activity decreases - signals to eat

38
Q

Leptin is the protein hormone of the _____ cells. Increases with larger fat mass. Decreases with less fat mass. Works with peptide Y.

Gherlin is the hormone of the ______cells

A

Leptin-Fat cells

(When fat stores are high, leptin concentration is high)

(When fat stores are low, leptin levels are low)

39
Q

How your brain knows you are full?

A

Gastric stretching causes vagal nerve to be stimulated. Satiety causes catabolic neuropeptides.

Circulating Nutrient Levels: Neurons detect changes in blood glucose. Amino acids and dietary fat promote satiety (tryptophan). Apolipoprotein on the chylomicrons signal satiety. Absence of these will signal hunger. Fat also delays stomach emptying so makes you feel fuller longer.

Gastrointestinal Hormones: Cholecystokinin (CCK)-released in intestines when fat is present and stimulates satiety.

GLP-1 (Glucagon like peptide)

Ghrelin in stomach

Enterostatin in intestinal tract

Peripheral hormone peptide

Endorphins-Natural body tranquilizer that prompts body to eat.

Serotonin- Neurotransmitter released after CHO intake. High levels of serotonin decrease desire to eat and induce calmness

40
Q

What is Ghrelin?

A

Mainly produced by stomach and stimulates appetite.

41
Q

What is high neuropeptide Y levels in the cerebrospinal fluid associated with?

A

High food intake and decreased activity.

42
Q

What is the arcuate nucleus?

A

The arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus is particularly regarded as a critical platform that integrates circulating signals of hunger and satiety reflecting energy stores and nutrient availability.

43
Q

What is corticotropin-releasing hormone?

A

CRH is released by the hypothalamus in response to stress.

Corticotrophin-releasing hormone causes release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary gland. Adrenocorticotropic hormone in turn travels in the bloodstream to the adrenal glands, where it causes the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol.

44
Q

Trauma

When stress hormones are released from adrenal glands, (cortisol corticosteroids) it promotes gluconeogenesis which raises blood sugar. Which substrates are usually used for gluconeogenesis?

A

Amino acids from muscle degradation

45
Q

Hypermetabolism can be due to a stress like burns, infection, surgery, trauma, and renal failure (not mental stress like going to college). What are some of the complications that happen when hypertabolism occurs?

A

Hyperglycemia reduces wound healing and increases infection, ischemia (part of body not getting enough blood), sepsis, and death.

46
Q

Trauma

Cortisol release in severe stress response will cause:

A

Increase rate of protein breakdown

Catabolism of muscle protein for gluconeogenesis.

Fat catabolism increases for glycerol (for gluconeogenesis) and fatty acids (for energy/beta oxidation for ATP/ketones) but body likes to use glucose.

*ER dietitians sometimes need to give insulin to help body return to homeostasis.

47
Q

What are the hormones of stress and hypermetabolism?

A

Cortisol

glucagon

catecholamines

growth hormone

*Also insulin resistance is common. BMR, blood glucose, and free fatty acid levels are elevated. Ketone bodies do not increase as in fasting so protein stores are not conserved (Negative N balance)

48
Q

What are cytokines

A

They are proteins that stimulate the immunes system and start inflammation.

49
Q

What are cytokines TNF, IL 1 and IL 6 which are present along with catecholamines and glucagon in times of trauma/stress/fight or flight?

A

Tumor Necrosis Factor- Suppresses fat synthesis,

Interleukin 1- Proteolysis in skeletal muscle

Interleukin 2- Causes secretion of acute phase proteins (APP) like fibrinogen, clotting factors, & proteins that cause fever to fight against infection.

50
Q

Fuel use during stress versus starvation:

A

Starvation: Adipose tissue provides glycerol and NEFAs to produce ketone bodies. Muscles can use fatty acids for fuel through beta oxidation. Liver makes ketone bodies for other tissues to spare glucose. Glycerol can be used for gluconeogenesis. Muscle can provide some amino acids for gluconeogenesis as well and produce urea> Body has time to excrete ammoniu

Fuel used-FATTY ACIDS

Trauma- Adipocytes breakdown NEFAs and glycerol goes to gluconeogenesis, fatty acids go to liver. Amino acids make acute phase protein, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis provide glucose for fuel. Lactate and alanine from muscle can be used for gluconeogenesis.

Fuel use is GLUCOSE

51
Q

Where are acute phase proteins synthesized?

A

Liver

52
Q

What are some of the acute phase proteins?

(their are positive and negative ones)

A

C-reactive protein

Alpha 1 acid glycoprotein

Heptoglobin

Mannose-binding protein

Fibrinogen

Alpha 1 antitrypsin

Complement components C3 and C4

Albumin

53
Q

Name some positive acute phase proteins.

A

Positive:

C-reactive- inflammatory marker for atherosclerosis. Increases with smoking, obesity, coffee consumption, TG, diabetes and periodontal disease.

Serum amyloid-A: SAA1, SAA2, SAA4 markers for inflammation like CRP.

Mannan-Binding Lectin: important for innate immunity.

Fibrinogen: Blood coagulation factor to support platelet aggregation and formed at site of vessel injury.

Lactoferrin: Find with iron. Found in saliva

Ceruloplasmin

Ferritin: Storage form of iron

54
Q

Name some negative acute phase proteins.

A

Albumin and Transferrin- Decrease during inflammation to starve bacteria. Transferrin binds with iron so reduce availability of iron to bacteria. (Low alubumin=protein deficiency but it’s involved in inflammatory response so can’t be used to show protein deficiency anymore)

Retinol- (RTP) retinol binding protein is important in growth and differentiation of tissues. Binds with prealbumin or transthyretin and is a carrier of thyroid hormones .

55
Q

What is the Ebb and Flow state of hypermetabolism?

A

Ebb- Initial response to shock/injury (stabilize body, fluids, glucose, aminoacids, and electrolytes. Gi tract dysfunction because blood flow goes to other parts of body to maintain homeostasis.

Flow- Body stabilized, may still be in ICU. Reduction in catabolic hormones. Enteral or parenteral nutrition.

*During this state may correct hyperglycemia with insulin.

56
Q

Fed starving soldiers steak and they died because of???

A

When starving, the urea cycle intermediates are depressed because it’s not working. Glutaminase which takes glutamine to glutamate removes 1 nitrogen then from glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate, which removes another nitrogen, so nitrogen builds up. If that happens in kidney…excrete through urine. Liver has to get use to excreting nitrogen in the form of urea.

Die of ammonium (or ammonia) toxicity.

57
Q

During starvation what happens to electrolyte balance?

A

Concentration drops.

58
Q

When refeeding start with…

A

Simple CHOs, electrolytes, and fluid
