Q

fats

A

Lipids composered of triacylglycerols
saturated and unsaturated trans
into much less oxygen than carbohydrates or proteins yield more energy when oxidised

Q

Energy daily expenditure some of

A

Basal metabolic rate
diet induced thermogenesis
physical activity levels

17
Q

Basal metabolic rate

A
Maintenance of cells
skeletal muscles 30%
liver 20%
brain 20%
heart 10%
other 20%
18
Q

Short-term energy stores

A

Muscle- a few seconds

19
Q

Under extreme conditions or can be used for energy

A

Muscle

20
Q

What is obesity

A

Assessor fat accumulation in adipocyte tissues which impairs health
BMI greater than 30

21
Q

BMI

A

Weight kilograms/height squared m squared

22
Q

Kwashiorkor

A
Calorie intake normal, low protein intake
Kwashiorkor
odeama
anerexica
larphargic
apathetic

Body needs essential amino acids from diet therefore the body is unable to sympathise some essential proteins

Liver unable to synthesise library proteins to transport fat, therefore fat builds up in liver, liver therefore doesn’t function properly and can make albumin, albumin deficiency leads to oedema

23
Q

marasmus

A

Insufficient energy intake- negative energy balance
metabolise fat stores, that’s converted to ketone bodies used for central nervous system
Central nervous system and red blood cells cannot use fatty acids zany glucose
not enough carbohydrate and glucose is consumed
glucose release from glycogen stores in the liver
muscle protein is broken down as last resort for gluconeogenesis- results in loss of muscle protein

Severe body fat and muscle mass loss
unable to repair and replace tissue such as gasinal intestnsl track
heart muscle thins impaired function bradycardia
