Q

Intake between EAR and RDA

A

the probability of of adequacy is 98%
in adequate 2%

24
Q

intake above RDA:

A

can be consider adequate

25
intake above AI:
adequate
26
intake between UL and RDA can be consider:
no risk of adverse effect
27
Intake above UL have:
adverse effect
27
Intake above UL have:

28
what is the most important quantitative class of dietary fatty acids ?
tryglicerides
29
the biological properties of fatty are determined by :
presence or absence of double bonds and number of double bonds and CIS-TRANS configuration of unsaturated fatty acids
30
Plasma cholesterol from diet or from endogenous biosynthesis are transported as :
lipoproteins.
31
The level of plasma cholesterol varies in response to :
Diet
32
high LDL cholesterol means
HIGH coronary heart diseases
33
HIGH HDL means
lower risks of cornary heart diseases
34
the cholesterol is metabolized to be :
Bile salts and Steroid hormones
35
*Consumption of saturated fats is associated with high levels of :
total plasma cholesterol LDL cholesterol, increased risk of CHD.
36
how much is required to consume fatty acids is to lower CHD
7%
37
help to decrease LDL-cholesterol , without affecting the HDL-cholesterol or the triglycerides level:
*Substitution of saturated fatty acids with monounsaturated fatty acids
38
Polyunsaturated fatty acids They are derived from:
plant sources and fish
39
Their effects are influenced by :
position of the double bonds within the molecule
40
*ω-6 (omega-6) fatty acids beneifts :
decrease LDL when used instead of Saturated fatty acids -Decrease HDL
41
the *ω-6 (omega-6) present in :
nuts ,avocado , olives , soybeans and various oils
42
*ω-3- (omega- 3) fatty acids
*Reduce serum triglycerides. *Increase HDL *have little effect on LDL cholesterol level they decrease the tendency to thrombosis, and subsequently reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
43
*ω-3- (omega- 3) fatty acids present in :
plants and fish oil
44
what can be added to infant formulae to promote brain development ?
*ω-3 long chain PUFA
45
α-linolenic acid consumption may provide :
protection of CHD
46
what is the trans fatty acids
fatty acids some of its double bonds in the trans position
47
what is the effect of trans fatty acids
increase LDL-cholesterol , increasing the risk of CHD.
48
the trans fatty acids may be present in natural food as :
whole milk and diary products
49
how the trans fatty acids produced :
partial hydrogenation of vegetable oil
50
examples of trans fatty acids :
baked products including crackers, cookies, doughnuts, breads, and products like French fries or chicken fried in hydrogenated shortening.
51
how much is recommended for daily intake of trans fatty acids :
less than 2% of total caloric intake
52
dietary cholesterol is from
ANIMAL SOURCES ONLY
53
*Increased dietary cholesterol leads
increase in LDL-cholesterol however it differs from person to person.
54
plant sterols benefits
*Reduce plasma LDL cholesterol by interfering with absorption of dietary cholesterol
