NDT MIDTERMS [DECK 2] Flashcards
The building blocks are called
‘’amino acid’’.
Has amino acids that serve as the building units of the body
tissues.
PROTEINS
PROTEINS are Organic compounds composed of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
and nitrogen
% of total energy needs in supplied by CHON
10% - 15%
1 gram CHON = - calories upon complete hydrolysis

Reduce a need for a particular EAA and partially
spares it
Semi-essential Amino Acid or Semi-indispensable Amino Acid
○ Arginine
○ Cystine
○ Serine

○ Glycine
Semi-essential Amino Acid or Semi-indispensable Amino Acid
● Builds and repairs body tissue for growth and maintenance.
PROTEINS
repairing worn-out body tissue.
Anabolism
continued wear and tear going on in
the body.
Catabolism
● Builds resistance to infection by helping form antibodies.
● Supplies additional energy.
● Contributes to numerous body secretions and fluids.
● Maintain water balance.
PROTEINS
egg, milk, milk products, meat, fish,
poultry, and seafood.
PROTEIN
● ANIMAL SOURCE
- cereals (wheat, rice, corn), legumes (mungo,
beans, peas, peanuts, soybeans), processed vegetable protein
(vegemeat, tofu).
PROTEIN
● PLANT SOURCE
● Retarded growth in children.
● Low resistance to infection at any age.
● Slow recovery from illness.
● Low birth weight.
● Loss of weight.
● Edema, skin lesions, mental sluggishness.
lack of protein
Marasmus and Kwashiorkor.
Protein-energy malnutrition
A protein deficiency, disease caused by
severe shortage of protein; associated with
post weaning diets ↑ cereals and ↓ in
quality and quantity protein; usual onset is
from 1-6 years old with signs and
symptoms of edema, enlarged liver due to
accumulation of fat, altered skin and hair
pigmentation and moon’s face.
Kwshiorkor
A protein caloric deficiency,
disease caused by inadequate
protein and calories, from
semi-starvation resulting from
mother’s failure to nurse her
infant. The onset is from 6
months-4 years old with signs
and symptoms of loss of
subcutaneous fat-very
underweight and old man’s face.
Marasmus
effect of excessive protein intake
Heart disease - foods rich in animal protein
rich in saturated
fats.
high CHON diet - increase intake of rich fat foods.
Obesity
Mineral losses - increased CHON diet
calcium excretion rises.
- high CHON diet = increased work of -
kidneys
increase in CHON diet - increases rich saturated fats foods intake.
Cancer
Facilitates absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins
FATS
fat-soluble vitamins
(A, D, E, K).
As insulator and protector.
FATS
a basic structural unit of fat. They are the key
refined fuel forms of fat that the cell burns for energy.
Two Fatty Acids
Serve as the continuing supply of energy every hour.
FATS
● Organic nutrient containing C, H, and O attached in a glycerol
base.
FATS
● 1 gram fat = - calories
9
% of TER is from fat.
20% - 30%
Remains in the stomach for the longest period.
FATS
neutral fats
SIMPLE LIPIDS
SIMPLE LIPIDS - neutral fats
- The chemical name is
triglycerides
