Q

describe Nikolai N Anichkov’s theory or atherosclerosis (1913)

A

he took rabbits and fed them straight cholesterol and dissected them after a period of time. they all ended up having bad atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque) and found it can kill them

Q

describe Ancel Keys 7 Countries Study and coronary heart disease

A

his chart balances cal intake from fat vs cardiovascular disease. he graphed 7 major countries. said that the more fat you eat, the more chances you have or cardiovascular disease/death. this was a LIE and faked some of the data

Q

did anything change after the theories of cholesterol and fat intake increasing risk of heart disease

A

no. it still remained the 1st/2nd cause of death over the 75 year period. there was also better medications and sources to lower intake and still nothing changed.

Q

what are refined grains

A

“bad” should be minimized in the diet because fiber and vitamins are removed (white bread, cake, cookies)- bad for you. fiber is removed only sugar and water remain

Q

what happens with insulin if you eat a few doughnuts

A

there will be a spike in blood sugar. therefore, body will crank out insulin to try to control the spike. if no insulin, body may take in all sugar and dumps into liver which is BAD

Q

many times guidelines of the healthy intake of nutrients lump proteins together such as red meat, poultry, fish and beans (soy) is this correct

Q

what are the 3 types of fats

A
  1. saturated
  2. unsaturated
  3. trans-fats
32
Q

what is a saturated fat

A

animal origin. solid at room temp. excess consumption may clog arteries and lead to heart disease, stroke, other problems. (butter, bacon, fat)

33
Q

what is an unsaturated fat

A

good for your heart. in most vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, whole grains, FISH

34
Q

how did trans fats become discovered

A

food manufacturers discovered that bubbling hydrogen through polyunsaturated oils created “partially hydrogenated” fats that were less vulnerable to becoming bad over time than the original oils

35
Q

the hydrogenation process of trans fats converts what

A

the bent cis form to a straightened trans form (trans form packs tightly to form solid at room temp)

36
Q

what does the trans fat trans straight form resist

A

enzymatic breakdown in the human body. it remains in circulation longer, deposits in the arteries and raises risk of HEART DISEASE TREMENDOUSLY

37
Q

are trans fats healthy

A

NO VERY DANGEROUS

38
Q

if you are asking for heart disease, eat more

A

trans fats

39
Q

what contains omega 3’s

A

fish oils

40
Q

what exactly do fish oils producing omega 3’s do

A

takes your lipid panel and brings everything back into balance (good for you). can help hair skin nails heart

41
Q

your liver has enzymes to help you to build triglycerides and omega 3’s can do what to those

A

lock up enzymes to protect from dietary fat

42
Q

are all dairy products essential?

A

no, only calcium is

43
Q

recommendation is to drink how many glasses for dairy

A

3 glasses of low fat milk or eat 3 servings of other dairy products to prevent osteoporosis

44
Q

there is a lack of evidence for a link between consumption of dairy products and prevention of

A

osteoporosis (we still have highest hip fracture rate and in top 3 for calcium consumption so is it really helping)- could be lack of motility or exercise

45
Q

what are the 2 lipoproteins in lipids

A
  1. low density (LDL)
  2. high density (HDL)
46
Q

what is low density lipoprotein (LDL)

A

“BAD” cholesterol because it carries cholesterol fro the liver to the cells. it is INCREASED BY SATURATED FATS and decreased by unsat fats

47
Q

what is high density lipoprotein (HDL)

A

“GOOD” cholesterol because it carries cholesterol to the liver where it is converted to bile salts (less cholesterol in blood is better)

48
Q

how can LDL and HDL be dealt with

A

monitoring lipid panel

49
Q

what are the good numbers for LDL and HDL

A

above 60 HDL
below 100 LDL
total below or around 180 is healthy

50
Q

what mobilizes cholesterol into the blood stream

A

low density lipoprotein (LDL)

51
Q

a great way to avoid excess carbs AND excess fats

A

eat less fried food

52
Q

what are minerals

A

basically off periodic table (Ca, P, K, S, Cl, Mg, Na) and components of larger molecules (IRON IN HEMOGLOBIN)

53
Q

a mineral (very small, typically an ion)

A

iron

54
Q

a vitamin (a large hydrocarbon)

A

B12

55
Q

what are vitamins

A

large molecules, hydrocarbons. not produced in super high quantities in the body. often enzyme helpers (coenzymes) vitamin a, k, b12

56
Q

what are antioxidants

A

chemicals that decrease the rate of oxidation or transfer of electrons (FREE RADICALS FROM CELLULAR METABOLISM) (common in fruits and vegetables)- pills show no real change just eat fruits—- we need to get rid of free radicals they are bad

57
Q

what are the 4 phases of cellular respiration

A
  1. glycolysis
  2. prep reaction
  3. citric acid cycle
  4. electron transport chain
58
Q

what is cellular respiration for

A

to make our ATP (glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm)

59
Q

is cellular respiration just glucose

A

mainly just glucose coming in even though we dont eat just glucose

60
Q

explain the process simply of metabolism

A
  1. degradation (hydrolysis) reactions (catabolism) break down molecules (tend to be exergonic)
  2. synthesis reactions (anabolism) build molecules (tend to be endergonic- store energy)
61
Q

what do fats get broken down into in the metabolic pool

A

glycerol and 3 fatty acids

62
Q

explain process of fats breaking down into glycerol and 3 fatty acids of metabolic pool

A

glycerol is converted to PGAL (used in glycolysis)
fatty acids converted to acetyl coa (used in citric acid cycle)
** 1 standard triglyceride stores enough energy for 300+ ATP molecules

63
Q

no carbohydrate intake means what for metabolic pool

A

can stil make lots of ATP because we can use fatty acids and break them down and plug in in many different ways to make ATP

64
Q

product of using fat breakdown to fuel cellular respiration

A

ketones

65
Q

explain process of amino acids breaking down into carbon chains and amino groups of metabolic pool

A
  1. deamination (NH2 removed) occurs in liver. results in poisonous ammonia NH3. quickly converted to urea. some are converted to pyruvate or acetyl-CoA. fragments enter respiratory pathways at many different points
66
Q

what do amino acids break down into

A

carbon chains and amino groups

67
Q

what is gluconeogenesis (of amino acids breaking down to carbon chains and amino groups)

A

new glucose making. breaks down proteins (catabolic) and reassembles to build glucose and send to brain to feed it (anabolic)

68
Q

what is a cluster of conditions with insulin resistance at its core

A

metabolic syndrome (precursor to bigger problems, increased blood pressure, sugar, fat, etc) increasing diabetes- body shape may indicate

69
Q

what is BMR (basal metabolic rate)

A

generic caloric need of the body for a day

70
Q

what is BMI- body mass index

A

value derived from mass and height of a person

71
Q

what is the most prevalent metabolic disease in the world, diabetes mellitus, caused by

A

disruption of metabolism due to hyposecretion or inaction of insulin (not releasing or making enough insulin)

72
Q

what are symptoms of DM

A

polyuria (excess urine output)
polydipsia (thirst)
polyphagia (hunger)
- revealed by elevated blood glucose, glucose in urine!, ketones in urine

73
Q

what is the transport maximum of DM

A

limit to how fast the glucose transporters can work to reabsorb
- excess glucose enters urine and water follows it
– causes polyuria, dehydration, thirst

74
Q

what is the inability to control blood glucose levels

A

diabetes

75
Q

what is type 1 diabetes and how can it be treated (5-10%)

A

hereditary, susceptibulity if infected with certain viruses. insulin is always used to treat it (injections, pumps, etc) and monitoring levels and controlled diet. autoantibodies attack and destory pancreatic beta cells

76
Q

what is type 2 diabetes and how can it be treated (90-95%)

A

obesity, hereditary, age 40+, progressive replacement of msucle with fat, treated with weight-loss program and exercise.. some oral medications for target cell sensitivity. problem is insulin resistance

77
Q

thought of as insulin resistance, where you make the hormone, but it isn’t working anymore

A

type 2 diabetes
