Document Summary

4-13 year old consume 1. 8-3 times more than required. New indicator amino acid oxidation (iaao) technique. Determine the protein requirements for 6-10 years old may be underestimated. Large complex molecules found in the cells of all living things: critical components of all tissues, metabolism, communication. Sy(cid:374)thesized i(cid:374) the (cid:271)ody ((cid:272)a(cid:374)"t sy(cid:374)thesize cho, can synthesize some lipids: dictated by genetic code. Energy producing (when we start using protein for energy, it indicates that something is wrong i. e. stress) Contain nitrogen (track amount of protein coming into the system) Not seeing a branching seeing an interaction (complex structure) Essential: body cannot synthesize at all or in sufficient quantities to meet need, has to come from diet, 9 amino acids (need to memorize the names) Nonessential: 11 amino acids, body can synthesize, transamination: transfer the amine group from one amino acid to another molecule to make an amino acid.
