NFS284: Fat 2 Flashcards
alchoholic beverages consist of…
- water
- ethanol
- sugar
calories: alcohol
7 kal/g
when is an alcohol considered “light”?
low in carb
alcohols that are lower in carbs…
contain less energy
absorption of alcohol
rapidly absorbed by simple diffusion along entire GI tract
-> rapidly distributed throughout all body water components
__% of alcohol is absorbed in the stomach
20
__% of alcohol is metabolized at the liver, __% excreted into urine, __% exhaled at lungs

Difference between effect on blood alcohol levels between men & women
women will have higher blood alcohol after consuming the same amount
Factors affecting blood alcohol
- weight
- gender
- food
- drinking rate
- drink type
Effect of weight on blood alcohol
heavier = less effect heavier = more body water = alcohol is diluted
Effect of gender on blood alcohol
males = less effect
Have more body water & more alcohol dehydrogenase activity in stomach
Effect of food on blood alcohol
consuming foods beforehand = less effect
reduces rate of absorption
Effect of drinking rate on blood alcohol
drink slower = less effect
Effect of drink type on blood alcohol
- amount of ethanol/drink
- carbonation = more effect
2 ways in which ethanol is metabolized
- cytosol alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)
2. microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (MEOS)
ADH
break down small amounts of alcohol in cytosol
MEOS
break down large amounts of alcohol
alcohol tend to be converted into…
lipids
action of ADH
alcohol -> acetaldehyde
pathway of alcohol metabolism
- alcohol -> acetaldehyde (ADH or MEOS)
- acetaldehyde -> acetyl-coa (aldehyde dehydrogenase)
- e- released from breakdown of (1) and (2) creates ATP in ETC, but inhibits TCA so acetyl-CoA cannot be used
- acetyl-coa -> FA -> TG in liver
TG in liver is used to make…
VLDL
how to get rid of cholesterol from body?
poop
fibre & drugs bind cholesterol in feces to prevent reabsorption -> secrete more
VLDL is mostly composed of…
TG
LDL is mostly composed of…
cholesterol
LDL goes to…
- liver
- endothelial cells
what enzyme: VLDL -> IDL
LPL
what enzyme: chylomicron -> reminant
LPL
main component of HDL
protein
HDL takes ___ from VLDL
PL
what removes cholesterol from endothelial cells?
HDL
TG from VLDL is removed and deposited into…
cholesterol esters
