Document Summary
Entrance of amino acids can ________ acetyl coa coming from cho. In most situaions, contribuion from pro is ____% of total energy. Essenial amino acids: not synthesized in body, have to come from diet (about 9 of the. Non-essenial amino acids: can be synthesized from other aa in the body. When incomplete pro is a problem: vegetarians and vegans. But: pro only 92-94% digesible (lower for plant pro) But: energy in the nitrogen group cannot be metabolized so that"s 0. 85kcal/g. Diferences between pri in food and as supplements: Other components include: cho, fat, minerals, vitamins. Most people (healthy, white, men, sedentary) reach pro balance at 0. 6-0. 8 grams/kg/day. Increase muscle mass (strength and power athletes) Balance increased use of pro for energy when cho is low (endurance athletes) Repair of muscle damage (strength/power and endurance athletes) Athletes need to eat more in general. Grams of pro eaten: 75/70 = 1. 05g/kg/day.
