Q

lactaid

A

allows lactaid to survive

24
Q

type of protein that is creating lactose intolerance

A

enzyme (lactase)

25
Q

genetic link for lactose intolerance

A

lacking genetic code for lactase

26
Q

galactosemia is an inborn error in metabolism of

26
Q

galactosemia in relationship with lactose intolerance

A

galactose is mainly found in lactase

26
Q

treatment for galactosemia

A

stay away from lactose

27
Q

type of protein that creates galactosemia

28
Q

PKU is an inborn error in metabolism

A

phenylalnine (PHE)

29
Q

problems with PKU

A

accumulation of phenylalanine and phenylpyruvic acid

30
Q

essential amino acid in PKU

31
Q

treatment for PKU

A

stay away from PHe and consume tyrosine
-animal proteins, quinoa, complete proteins
-aspartame (fake sugar) - contains Phe
-fruits and veggies in moderation

32
Q

type of protein causing the problem in pKU

A

enzyme - PAH

33
Q

genetic link for PKU

A

faulty genetic code
-less functional PAH

34
Q

Cystic Fibrosis in born error of the production of

A

chloride channels

35
Q

problems in CF

A

persistent cough
wheezing and shortness of breath
frequent lung infections
hard time getting O2 in and CO2 out

36
Q

CF has reduced flow or blocked pancreatic ducts because?

A

because of cysts and fibrosis
-results in reduced pancreatic juice which leads to a decrease in digestive enzymes

37
Q

reduced ability to absorb nutrients in SI

A

due to less efficient digestion

38
Q

digestive and nutrient concerns with CF

A

nutrients cant be absorbed well
can lead to deficiences

39
Q

treatment for CF

A

PERPS: pancreatic enzyme replacement products (lipase, amylase and protease
chest and upper back physiotherapy
supplemental oxygen
airway clearance techniques

40
Q

type of protein creating cf in lungs

A

chloride transporter

41
Q

DNA is dependent on

A

vitamins and amino acids

42
Q

nutrient deficiences create lower ability to make DNA

A

folate, B6, B12, methionine/ cystine ect

43
Q

disorders from deficincies

A

anemia
neural tube defects

44
Q

epigenetics

A

changes in DNA expression due to transient internal and external factors

45
Q

DNA expression

A

transcription and translation stimulation
more protein

46
Q

DNA silencing

A

translation and transcription inhibiting
less protein

47
Q

internal or external factors of stimulating T and T or silencing

A

internal = fat, cell, cytokinase
external factors = nutrients/ chemicals

48
Q

both expression and silencing are caused by

A

DNA methylation and histone modification

49
Q

what DNA changes causes different proteins to be present or absent

A

methylation or histone modification of our DNA

50
Q

misexpression of proteins

A

causes different end points
-phenotype
-health status
-resistance to external factors

51
Q

cytokine production due to fat mass production =
nutrients =

A

internal factor
external

51
Q

misexpression of proteins makes you

A

more susceptibile to illness

52
Q

nutriepigenetics

A

changes in DNA expression due to external factors such as dietary nutrient/ chemical availability

52
Q

fortification of foods

A

adding nutrients originally present and removed through processing like grains and flour

53
Q

enrichment of foods

A

adding more of something
